Aap Jaisa Koi

*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.

Started off very well - characters did justice at the start - but it became a very slow moving tv serial style drama after Curt's half - it stayed with the essence of the message until the end - but the dialogues and BGM was not powerful enough to let audience stay in love with the characters.. lack of power toward the end .

Cast was good for each character - each person played with full justice individually - just when the characters get woven together as the family - the chemistry was not powerful enough.

Coming of age in terms of equal respect to both sides of the relationship in a marraige - message stayed consistent - that was good.

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.
