Alguien así

At one point in the movie she says that a nerdy guy like him and a cute girl like her would make a nice romcom . Unfortunately this doesn't happen and what follows is a collection of pointless scenes with confused sentiments.

The plot is about a shy, docile, unromantic Sanskrit teacher Shrirenu who plays a Sitar and a young lady Madhu teaching French language who plays a piano. He belongs to a middle class family of Jamshedpur while she belongs to a Bengali family based in Kolkata.

Despite their different approaches to life both get along fine at first, romance blooms but there are disagreements over petty issues and they break up. They love each other and later when their misunderstandings are getting cleared Madhu's earlier boyfriend makes an appearance. This complicates matters and creates the customery triangle but worse follows when there is an emotional upheaval in both families.

The movie meanders between the endearing and the insipid. While the vicissitudes of romantic relationships are well projected there are quite a few totally unconvincing scenarios in the families of couple. To me the plot twist at the end appeared grossly unconvincing and outlandish. Overall the movie looked like a missed opportunity for the makers. Both Madhavan and Fatima do what the character limitations permit them to do but these characters could have made a better impression if the plotline was realistic and stronger.

I watched this movie primarily for R. Madhavan, and he truly delivered an excellent performance. His chemistry with Fatima Sana Shaikh was a definite highlight and widely appreciated.

The film began on a strong note, with each actor doing justice to their role. However, after Curt's arc, the narrative noticeably slowed and unfortunately took on a TV-serial-like tone. Combined with weak dialogues and an underwhelming background score, it became difficult to stay emotionally engaged.

The cinematography stood out, especially in its portrayal of Kolkata's old-world charm. The music compositions and background score were also well-received. However, the integration of side characters felt weak and unconvincing.

While individual performances were commendable, the family chemistry lacked depth toward the end. Although the core message - mutual respect in marriage and relationships - was meaningful, its execution could have been more impactful.

Movie start with good storyline, acting, plot.

8 star movie for about 1.5hr, after that destroy the plot, story and added the one sided story line for feminist audience.

Within time period of 10-12 min they wrap up the story and 360 turn totally out of mind and it seems they are in hurry to end the movie within the period of 2hr.

Positives:

1. R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's chemistry was good and suited the story, which revolves around a 42-year-old unmarried man. The rest of the film builds on their chemistry.

2. I can say the dialogues were at least good, especially the Bengali accent-not like the recent horror films I've seen. They preserved the essence of the words and emotions in a simple way, which didn't sound bad at all.

3. The visuals and cinematography are the third-best aspect. They are beautifully captured. The camera angles and the old charm of Kolkata are used perfectly. It looks authentic and leaves a strong impact throughout the film.

4. Songs.

5. Background score (BGM).

Negatives:

1. Weak screenplay. Even though the duration was short, I stayed hooked only because of the three positives mentioned above.

2. Weak story. It tries to teach something but fails, as the narrative doesn't stick to its point and keeps losing direction.

3. Poor use of side characters. Their integration into the story felt weak and unconvincing.

4. Weak comedy-more of a hit-or-miss case. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't even try to land the joke.

5. Weak ending. The film started on a good note, but the ending felt messy and lacked emotional depth. It left no real impact.

I was so excited for this film, but it turned out to be just average.

Rating: 5/10.

*The film normalizes toxic relationships (of kamala bhabhi) under the guise of passion and spontaneity, sending questionable messages to the younger generation.*

Instead of promoting communication, respect, and personal growth, the film glorifies possessiveness and impulsive decisions. Characters jump into intense commitments without self-awareness or maturity. Being transparent, resolving past ties respectfully, and giving yourself and others emotional clarity is not only fair but necessary for future peace.

It may entertain, but it fails to set a positive example for viewers who are still forming their understanding of healthy relationships.
