Aap Jaisa Koi

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.

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.

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.

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.
