Kaushaljis vs Kaushal

After a hiatus a wonderfully directed and acted movie showing the complexity and turbulence of generational gap and silent love in the old and gold generation

Good watch with roots in Kannauj - mice depiction of struggle between new vulnerable gen vs old gold - our parents (there routine fights but unfathomable silent love)

Pretty evident that director knew her canvas and shooting af the locales than set makes it different- my family roots are from kannauj ans i could connect with what o saw and felt real

Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chaddha portray their roles with full conviction, their characters rich with quirks and emotions. Their on-screen chemistry and natural banter feel authentic, akin to any real-life parental arguments. Pavail Gulati injects energy into the film, making Yug a relatable character for today's youth.

Middle aged parents of grown up children living in a small town in UP find that they are quarreling and arguing most of the time. Both have not been able to pursue their individual passions after marriage. He ( Ashutosh Rana) wanted to be a quawwali singer while she ( Sheeba Chaddha) wanted to deal with manufacturing of Indian perfumes. During one of their bitter quarrels they decide to divorce much to the shock of their working son ( Pavail Gulati) who tries his best to persuade them to change their mind.

This then is the plot of a "grey divorce " in the making which is novel for Indian audiences no doubt but the final product doesn't come out so well. One gets the feeling that in better hands ( read writer/director) the movie could have turned out much better given that they have talented and versatile actors at their disposal.

Presently everything about the movie from script, direction to acting is average at best. The movie refuses to rise above that and connect with the audience despite a relatable premise. There is no intensity in the emotional scenes which remain superficial most of the time. The subplots are distracting too. Both Ashutosh and Sheeba have given many better performances earlier but here they do not impress. Pavail Gulati and his romantic interest Isha Talwar have done better comparitively.

Perfect movie having good script and dialogues have depth. Focusing the real issues of almost every family, and targeting the reason of gaps between parents and children and how the new generation should behave and how parents should handle the social issues. Best acting by Ashutosh and Sheeba and dialog delivery by Sheeba is perfect. A family movie with a small cast and decent script and no vulgarity in this era, is really a master piece. Direction and filmization is also good. New actor Pavail also acted well. Music could be more better. Writer Seema Desai written very well and she also directed this movie in a great manner.

A perfect blend of RELATIONSHIPS RESPECT and LOVE expressed in its most warm form so you can live every moment of this magnificent piece of work. The great message this film delivered is Respect every individual as all of us have that 1 hidden talent. Marriage is displayed as an institution and not as a mere activity and it displays what ingredients go in to make a family , A HAPPY FAMILY. Lastly even the neighbours friends etc blend in your ego trips and the only one who can tell you to do the RIGHT thing is your HEART. So listen to it. Watch this film as a lesson not entertainment. Thank you to the makers.

Review Kaushaljis Vs Kaushal Today, I watched Kaushaljis Vs Kaushal on Jio Hotstar.

A must watch Film by Seema Desai with brilliant performance by Ashutosh Rana & Shiba supported by Pavail Gulati & others. Every artist has given their best.

Director Seema Desai must be credited for handling such a sensitive subject with both humor and emotionally . She skillfully explores the differences between generations, highlighting the contrast between the modern sensibilities of the era and the traditional worldview of parents.

At the centre of the film are Sahil and Sangeeta, played by Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chaddha, whose performances as a long-married couple on the verge of separation offer an honest and refreshing look at the emotional realities of relationships as time passes.

Their nuanced portrayals bring out the unspoken grievances and growing isolation that many couples experience in their later years together.

This film is not a typical family drama, this is sensitive heartfelt storytelling of Indian middle class relatable of two generations. Enjoy a good movie.
