Aap Jaisa Koi

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.

The first half is great with a nice bit of comedy. Madhavan is solid most part of it except in some scenes. Overall after long could watch a Bollywood move in one go so is captivating enough.

The movie tries to convey a one sided message of males being judgemental, well the movie itself is judgemental in judging the males so ! When in reality lot of females probably will have issues too or will be judgemental for the kind of things they may believe are ok for them to do or are very cool about (Pyar Ka Panchanama portrays this well). Also probably the dramatic angle of Kusum bhabhi getting involved could've been avoided and rather stick to main story line. This side story also unknowingly (or maybe intentionally) conveys the wrong message of overruling a long standing family structure assuming probably an attraction or a lending shoulder to be love. Many a families have been destroyed with such "love".

If the point of the movie is love only seeks love, then institution of marriage probably shouldn't exist. It is very convenient and affordable to be loving when stakes are not equally high like in marriage.

A rom-com movie! Story revolves around a 42 yr old traditional man trying to find himself a girl for marriage n then calling off marriage with the so found girl knowing her to be on a dating site n what follows next is the movie. This is neither funny nor interesting. The first half will bore to the next level. In one instance, they show adultery in marriage is cool if one wants to seek love outside marriage. I personally don't buy it. Movie is less than 2 hours but I personally don't recommend it. Available in Netflix, my ratings 4/10!

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.

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.
