With the month of July with a romantic release, Aap Jaisa Koi comes as a hearty gem that stands out with its cool attraction. R. Leading artists with Madhavan and Fatima Sanaa Sheikh, the film feels fresh and real, which is deepening compared to the general love story with her heartfelt feelings and layered characters.
The story in the story is Sririnu Tripathi, a Sanskrit professor from Jamshedpur in the 40s, who has never experienced love or intimacy. Everything changes when she crosses the path with a confidence in Kolkata and a modern 32 -year -old woman Madhu Bose, who embraces her freedom and sexuality, finding attraction in Sririnu’s shy, introverted nature.
The film follows a complex theme of two people who come from a completely different world, trying to find a relationship while living within a patriarchal family.
At its core, the film captures a quiet rebellion within the daily life. Initially, one scene depicted Shreeranu’s sister -in -law, just asking to cook a separate vegetable. It is a small moment, almost simple, but it sets tone gently for the whole story.
From the entrance of bold and unplugged Madhu Bose (starred by Fatima Sana Sheikh) to a quiet, rain -soaked scene that performs gender with emotional weight, the film constantly hits emotional high notes. It examines love not as a grand, ideal imagination but something strange, hesitant, real and eventually transformative. These moments filled with vulnerability and slow-burning feelings, successfully run the main theme of the film in the house: ‘Sometimes, the only way out of a boring routine is to welcome something new’. The result is not less than ‘époustouflant’.
The opposite is striking between the two leads, yet beautifully balanced. She teaches French, a symbol of modernity, freedom and open expression, while she teaches the language contained in Sanskrit, tradition, discipline and silence. This opposite adds prosperity to their conversation and gives the story a unique taste.
Shreeinu also believed a strange but poignant belief about her life being cursed, her schoolmate Rakhi said a few years ago. This idea of ​​”curse” becomes a metaphor for internal fear, emotional obstacles and insecurity that bear many people including him, holding them back, they believe that they are unwanted with love.
Director Vivek Soni is entitled to real praise for the way these layered subjects handle with such subtlety and care. In a season where many romantic plays mix in each other, Aap Jaisa Koi is different. It is a delicate but impressive without being very difficult, and without being emotionally honest.
R. Madhavan saved one of his most hearty performances in recent times, which captures Shreeinu’s calm vulnerability. His tenderness, his insecurity, even his strange silence, the character is reliable and endurance. Fatima Sana Sheikh has electricity as Madhu. She brings fire, depth and knowledge in a role that could easily be one dimensional. Together, they create a chemistry that feels alive, incomplete and real.
The film was really entitled to a dramatic release. Its pacing, visuals and tone must have beautifully translated on the big screen, shoulder to shoulder with large banners romance. It is a matter of regret that its absence from theaters remains the only real disappointment, as it is visually and emotionally rich in a story deserves that broad canvas.
Music, also, deserves a special mention. It just comes in the right moments, never infiltration, always enhances the mood. It is swollen in the background of significant emotional scenes, depending on this time the viewer wraps in warmth, longing, or happiness.
Blind, the film has a different beauty. The vintage attraction of the setting, woven with modern sensations, gives a unique and memorable identity.
Aap Jaisa Koi is now available to stream on Netflix, and it is a film that should not be remembered. It is not attractive, it is not trying to become a big life love story, instead, it asks a simple question: what is love? And this answer this does not with grand gestures, but with small, honest, human moments.
Finally, Aap Jaisa Koi gently reminded us that love is not loud to be meaningful and that not every woman is made “queen of kitchen”. Some are asked to change, shake things and love on their own terms.
