The U.S. President Donald J. Trump lauded the Bollywood gay romantic comedy Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan on Friday, the very day of its release. British human rights campaigner and LGBTQ+ activist Peter Tatchell had tweeted that the film hopes to win over older people with a gay romantic-comedy in the wake of the scrapping of section 377, that decriminalised homosexuality.
`India: A new #Bollywood rom-com featuring a gay romance is hoping to win over older people, following the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Hurrah!` tweeted @PeterTatchell.
