I stumbled upon this one randomly and was pleasantly surprised. Amidst the plethora of crime and thriller content, a lighthearted drama like this offers a sense of calm.
The movie revolves around two generations of the Kaushals. A young man, Yug, wants to enjoy city life and is fed up with his parents, who live in a small town. However, when his parents decide to separate mutually, it throws his life into chaos.
It's a simple tale told as realistically as possible. The depiction of both generations is quite relatable-the way small-town people aspire to be part of the big city and how parents in smaller towns often compromise their ambitions to stay together. However, Yug's love angle feels unnatural, as it happens rather randomly and fails to connect with the audience. It could have easily been omitted.
Pavail Gulati as Yug does a good job and fits the role effortlessly. Veteran actors Sheeba Chaddha and Ashutosh Rana, as his parents, are a treat to watch and portray their parts to perfection. Isha Talwar, as the love interest, is endearing but doesn't have much to offer, ultimately feeling like an extra character. That said, the chemistry between the leads is fresh and works well.
The movie's pacing is just right, so you won't feel bored. However, the songs are below average and don't really stick with you. The courtroom drama feels overly cinematic, which dilutes the movie's authenticity.
It's not extraordinary, but its simple portrayal of slice-of-life drama works. A decent watch for some light entertainment.

Kaushalji Vs Kaushal (2025) :
Movie Review -
Kaushalji Vs Kaushal explores the theme of two generations fighting over the meaning of love and relationships. The younger generation believes in moving on, while the older one follows the traditional definition of love; however, soon after, things turn in the reverse direction. The young generation is now submitting to the old traditions of "keeping together," while the older generation wants to "move on." Though predictable and unnecessarily dramatic, Kaushalji Vs Kaushal has enough warmth to make you feel cozy for half an hour or so, while the other one and a half hours remain cold enough to be skipped.
Yug (Pavail Gulati) belongs to the younger generation, who are more interested in Wi-Fi connections than family connections. He works as a copywriter for an ad agency and admires his boss's premium lifestyle. He falls in love with Kiara (Isha Talwar), who believes in "true love" and desires to marry into a happy family. A few days ago, Yug had that "happy family," but after his modern lecture on "we move on," his father and mother decided to get separated. Mr. Kaushal (Ashutosh Rana) and Mrs. Kaushal (Sheeba Chaddha) file for divorce after 27 years of marriage, restricting Yug's marriage to Kiara. How will this battle of relationships end?
The film tackles a dated subject, to be frank, and that's why it lacks much novelty. Recently, a Malayalam film "#Home" shed light on the same issue of the younger generation shaming the previous one, but in the end, it's the current generation that is humiliated. Kaushalji Vs Kaushal features some explosive moments between veterans like Ashutosh Sir and Sheeba Ma'am, and it was quite a surprise to me that the film actually put them front and center to lead the comedy. They both share some absolutely chaotic and funny conversations through situational moments that left me giggling, and I even fell on the floor for a moment or two. The film peaks with these two but then falters with some trivial problems of the younger generation. The narrative tries to force itself into the format of this younger generation when there was no need at all. The film looked so good with the husband and wife's issues; why must it circle around and then shift to the son's marriage? Like the judge said, "Usne exam hi nahi diya toh usse result kaise pata hoga?" It was such a basic thought, but the writers disregarded it and spoiled the natural flow with their useless urban issues.
Ashutosh Rana's Qawwali scenes are "over the top," but the rest of the show is a "blockbuster." I haven't seen this man enjoy his screen presence and his character's humor so much in recent times. The same applies to Sheeba Chadha, who was a riot. I could relate to them and every moment of the arguments they shared because I see my own parents fighting with each other like this daily. This is the film's biggest strength. I just wish that the film had continued with this strength because the young brigade, or that portion and their conflicts, appear so silly and lifeless. Pavail's character is so clueless, though he has done a decent job. Isha Talwar is another character who doesn't logically fit into the frame, but she looks absolutely beautiful. Brijendra Kala and Grusha Kapoor were like those two concrete pillars that you can't shake, and even Deeksha Joshi was fairly watchable in her role.
I may have many complaints about the screenplay, but I freely admit that the film had some moments that truly moved me and brought soft tears to my eyes. The cinematography and color grading made it look like an outdated product, as if it were created to be dumped on an OTT platform. The music doesn't support the narrative, even though there was so much scope for it, and the production design is pretty average too. Seema Desai's vision may be dated and old, but some things are best enjoyed in an "old format." "Old is Gold," they say, right? It's true. Kaushalji vs. Kaushal will make you feel that phrase again, but only for a while. I wish this sweet family dish weren't half-baked; it might have turned out to be so delicious.
RATING - 5/10*

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.

I can't say it's good act by actors . It's an emotions what you delivered . Outstanding story please made more films like this. Really appreciated. We really wants to watch such a realistic films nowadays nob6wants to make this type of films but in reality people have to created so our next generation also know about rishto ki taar hamesha Judi rahe. Loved that phase when a son pamper his dad and heartfelt scene. Partner understand each other feeling. Family aisi to honi chahiye jaha har ladki apna ghar basana chahe jaha khatti mithi nok jok ho or behen bhai ka pyar ho unki takrar ho bas or kya.
KaushalJis vs Kaushal is a warm, heartfelt reminder that our parents are not just caretakers of our ambitions - they have dreams, desires, and inner lives of their own. It gently nudges the younger generation to pause and look at their parents not just as guardians, but as individuals who might still be chasing something meaningful.
The story is fresh and well-crafted, avoiding clichés while staying deeply relatable. Director Seema Desai brings a strong and visionary touch to the narrative, allowing the emotional contrasts within the central couple to unfold with grace and authenticity. The emotional distance between them is not forced - it's delicately portrayed through small gestures, silences, and emotional outbursts that feel real.
Performances are nuanced, the writing is honest, and the pacing gives room for reflection. It's not just a film about aging or domestic life - it's about respect, empathy, and rediscovery within relationships.
If you're looking for a movie that brings generations closer - with sincerity, simplicity, and soul - this one deserves your time.
