    Refreshing movie

    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.

    A breath of fresh air worth watching with family

    A particular family movie with great inputs of emotions from each and every artist depicting the perfect indian middle class. A different story with delucate treatment. Very down to earth and realistic treatment by the director which somehow connects the viewers on a personal wavelength. Sheeba chaddha is an icing on the cake. Her acting is aging like old wine and more you watch her the more you feel absorbed in the character. Other actors are fine and do not disappoint at all. Background music is in perfect sync with the situations and creates a mesmerizing harmony. Do watch this movie with full family for a relaxed moment in today's noisy world.

    A Heartfelt Tale of Family, Aspirations, and Unexpected Chaos

    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.

    You just don't feel this film YOU LIVE IT.

    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.

    Though Half-Baked, It Is Bound to Make You Feel It

    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.
