New Delhi: With films like 'Badhaai Do' and 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' dealing with the topics of LGBT+, Bollywood is trying to make the audience sensitive towards the feelings of the queer groups and encourage their acceptance in the society. Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar starrer 'Badhaai Do', that released worldwide on February 11, is garnering a lot of appreciation for its storyline that highlights the acceptance of queer couples in the society.

The film beautifully deals with the issue faced by queer couples and the wrath that they have to face on coming out with their real identity.
