Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya

This film had a feel of a tv series instead of a movie. Besides that, I feel the movie could have done better if Ayushmann Khurrana was in the lead instead, as he has more range of emotions and expressions which was required for the role. Shahid's acting was kind of forced, immature and he did not come across as a software engineer. The plot though unique was limited by its writing. There could have been more comedic twists and turns to make the movie more entertaining. Kirti Sanon was good as a robot and stole the limelight away from Shahid Kapoor who inadvertently took a back seat in the movie. The most painful aspect of the movie was watching my favorite He-man Dharamendra being reduced to a frail old man, all for a nondescript role which any Tom, Dick or Harry could have done. I hope he doesn't torture our memories with such roles in the future. Dimple Kapadia was adequate as the CEO of a Robotics company. On the technical side however you would have to question the viability of a robot 18 years in the making, which still has rudimentary issues such as inadequate battery life and inability to withstand simple power outages. All in all I would say inspite of it's inherent flaws the movie is Ok for a one time watch.

Aryan (Shahid Kapoor) is an robotics engineer working for his aunt Urmila (Dimple Kapadia) whose new Innovation is Sifra (Kriti Sanon), a robot. Aryan doesn't want to get married while his entire family wants him to, as expected he falls in love with Sifra. An harmless experiment conducted by Urmila gives Aryan an excuse to continue his own experiment where he introduces Sifra to his family as his lover. What all misfortunes happen when Sifra tries to mingle with the great Indian family, while they prepare for Aryan and Sifra's wedding forms rest of the story.

For a film that tries to look ambitious, it only aims to be a low hanging fruit. Leaving the brain aside, for those 140mins I kept looking for one decently entertaining scene which the film was devoid of. It is not the logic but the emotions that feel forced and largely superficial, leaving the lead actor with an unlikable character, no matter how much he tries to be entertaining. Ofcourse there is a slight glimpse of "fun" in the climax scene and that's about it. The screenplay lacks the fizz to make this rom-com fun and the generic characters get unfunny jokes to mouth as well. Fair warning, the film ends with the note "to be continued" and I wish they had shown the same conviction while scripting this film, so that we could've got a better and watchable film.

Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya attempts to blend romance, science fiction, and family drama into one package, but unfortunately, it falls short of delivering an engaging narrative. The screenplay lacks consistency and fails to maintain the momentum established in the first half. The dialogues are well-worded, but not all jokes land effectively, leaving the audience occasionally chuckling but often checking their watches.

The film's first half shines with the blossoming romance between Aryan and SIFRA, portrayed with charm by Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Their chemistry is palpable, and viewers are drawn into their love story. The film takes a nosedive in the second half as it veers into predictable family drama. While there are moments of humor sprinkled throughout, much of the second half feels tedious. The climax feels abrupt and lacks the emotional payoff that viewers might expect. The promise of a sequel falls flat as the film struggles to rectify its shortcomings.

Kriti Sanon impresses with her portrayal of SIFRA, capturing the nuances of a robot with admirable skill. From the tender moments of romance to the emotional beats of the family drama, Shahid Kapoor delivers a commendable performance throughout the film. Dharmendra, though with limited screen time, adds a touch of charm, while Dimple Kapadia leaves a mark as expected. Ashish Verma and other supporting actors provide able support to the lead actors.

The music, particularly Laal Peeli Akhiyaan and the Title Track injects energy into the film with their foot-tapping beats and well-choreographed sequences. Akhiyaan Gulaab and Tum Se add a lovely touch to the soundtrack, enhancing the film's romantic elements.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 3/5 Music 3/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 2/5.

A Soul Satisfiying Film.

I have no complaints with the movie it was completely entertaining with somewhat ignorable loopholes which is not a big deal if you want to get entertained.

The story looked like the subplot of Enthiran where a robot develops feelings for a human , but here it is the opposite of it where our lead falls in love with a robot with artificial feelings and the chaos happens in his life is what the story looks like.

The music was a great vibe in theatres if you missed it you missed a pretty good experience and tum se deserves great applause.

The direction was good but it would be better if he explored more areas about the complexities caused between a human - robot love relationships.

Shahid Kapoor in his fun zone and Kriti sanon looked like an angel and she did her work well.

You could stare at her in the whole movie and your paisa gets vasool.

The screenplay was great i felt no yawns incoming.

............ SPOILER............. Finally hoping the second parts digs deeper about the conflicts faced between the relationship and how the relationship is further explored.

(would you chose a perfect being with no inner feelings or an imperfect being with inner feelings )

Passey Reviews

'Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya' attempts to blend science fiction with romantic comedy, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. However, the film falls short of expectations, leaving much more to be desired.

The major drawback lies in the narrative predictability. A large portion of the storyline, the first half and bits from the second, is seen in the trailer itself. The central theme of a human falling in love with a robot, feels underexplored and lacks the depth needed to engage the audience.

While Dimple Kapadia and Kriti Sanon shine with their performances, stealing the spotlight with charm, grace, and beauty, the same can't be said for the film as a whole.

Dimple Kapadia, in particular, is a treat to watch due to her charismatic personality. Kriti Sanon takes on the challenging role of a humanoid character, and her portrayal is praiseworthy. The seamless blend of robotic and human elements in her performance is impressive, and she adds a stunning presence to every scene. However, these bright spots are not enough to salvage the film.

Director Amit Joshi's attempt at situational comedy is decent, but falls short, failing to entertain all age groups. Shahid Kapoor, despite his capability to shoulder brilliant rom-coms, is underutilized, leaving fans wanting more from his character.

The screenplay, music, background score, while not outstanding, serve their purpose sufficiently. However, they lack the unique and catchy elements.

The film lands in the realm of average cinema. The predictable plot, underutilization of talent, and the film's overall suitability for the OTT platform make it a miss in theaters. Consider saving this one for a cozy night, on your favourite streaming device.
