As someone who loved the book, I'm excited but also a bit worried. Hope the sequel maintains the same charm and doesn't feel forced. The chemistry between Nicholas and Taylor was perfect in the first one.

Yay! More representation in mainstream cinema! This kind of positive LGBTQ+ representation is much needed in India too. Hope it inspires our filmmakers to tell diverse stories.

Interesting to see Jamie Babbit taking over as director. Her work on "But I'm a Cheerleader" was brilliant. Looking forward to what she brings to this universe!

While I enjoyed the first movie, I hope the sequel explores more substantial themes rather than just being another romantic comedy. The political backdrop in the first film was interesting but underutilized.
