Aap Jaisa Koi Movie Review: R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh Shine in Netflix’s Romance

Aap Jaisa Koi is now trending on Netflix. It is a slow-burn romantic drama that brings together R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh in a refreshingly grounded love story. The film revolves around Shrirenu Tripathi, a quiet and old-school Sanskrit professor, and Madhu Bose, a free-spirited French teacher who challenges not just his worldview but also his sense of self.

Aap Jesa Koi Review

It initially starts off as an unlikely connection between two very different people slowly evolves into something real, and that’s where the movie finds its heart.

If you’re someone who’s tired of over-the-top Bollywood romance, this film might actually surprise you. Aap Jaisa Koi movie takes its time, maybe a little too much but it builds a story that feels lived-in. Madhavan brings his usual charm with a touch of restraint, making Shrirenu both relatable and lovable.

On the other hand, Fatima Sana Shaikh plays Madhu with strength and subtle vulnerability. Their chemistry isn’t fiery, it’s mature, awkward, and real, which actually works in the movie’s favor.

While the first half is breezy and emotionally engaging, the second half shifts gears into “message mode.” The film tries to say a lot about patriarchy, modern dating, emotional baggage but sometimes it feels like it’s trying too hard to be “woke.” That’s where the pacing starts to lag, and the conflict (yes, there's an app and a family drama twist) feels a bit forced. It’s not bad, just not as organic as the earlier parts.

Still, if you’re looking up an Aap Jaisa Koi review to decide whether it’s worth your time, here’s the honest answer: if you enjoy simple love stories with emotional depth and solid performances, go for it. Plus, the music, especially the modern spin on the classic “Aap Jaisa Koi” track, really hits the right notes.

In short, this Aap Jaisa Koi movie review gives it a thumbs-up for its heart, performances, and intent. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a refreshing watch, especially if you want something meaningful on Netflix this weekend. And let’s be real, seeing Madhavan in a quiet, romantic role again? Always a win.
