Netflix has released its latest feature film, “Aap Jaisa Koi,” a romantic drama starring R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh. The film explores the relationship that develops between two people from vastly different worlds.
The Heart of the Story
The narrative centers on Shrirenu Tripathi (Madhavan), a reserved and traditional Sanskrit teacher from Jamshedpur, and Madhu Bose (Shaikh), a spirited and independent French instructor. Shrirenu, raised in a rigid, patriarchal family, finds his worldview challenged when he falls for Madhu, who believes in speaking her mind and objects to systemic rules placed on women. The film follows the collision of their two contrasting ideologies as they navigate family expectations and their own conditioning. The story moves beyond typical romantic tropes to explore what true compatibility looks like, questioning modern relationships and the search for love rooted in equality, or “barabari wala pyaar”. It also delves into the theme of loneliness in a hyper-connected world.
