Kaushaljis vs Kaushal

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.

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.

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.
