New Delhi. What happens next when a quiet 42-year-old man begins to rewrite the rules of his life when he comes face to face with a side of himself he never knew he had? Netflix has released the trailer of Aap Jaisa Koi. Starring R. Madhavan as Shree Renu Tripathi and Fatima Sana Shaikh as Madhu Bose, this feel-good family drama explores the intimacy, connection and beauty of finding ‘equal love’ in the most unexpected circumstances.
The film follows characters from two different societies in Jamshedpur and Kolkata. Shree Renu, who is a stickler for tradition and habit, begins to rediscover masculinity, belonging and emotional expression. Madhu, on the other hand, is a daring woman who doesn’t want to conform to the norms of society. Sri Renu finds a romantic partner in Madhu, but she is also a mirror of his own conditions. The two begin a journey of familial expectations and emotional obligations. They also have to bear the burden of social norms. Aap Jaisa Koi is not just a story of romance, but also becomes a story of women regaining their rights.
Aap Jaisa Koi marks Madhavan’s long-awaited return to the romance genre. In this, he has come up with a story with Fatima Sana Shaikh, which presents the true meaning of inner freedom and ‘equal love’. It is directed by Vivek Soni (Meenakshi Sundareshwar) and produced by Dharmatic Entertainment. Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhary and Namit Das have also given strong performances in this film. Each character has beautifully portrayed the nuances of family, identity, patriarchy, and emotional truth, which often we ourselves are not aware of.
Speaking about the release of the film, Ruchika Kapoor Sheikh, Director, Original Films, Netflix India said, “Aap Jaisa Koi is a romance drama. It showcases love blossoming amidst broken expectations and the shackles of tradition. Vivek Soni has delivered some beautiful visuals. On the other hand, R. Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ayesha Raza and others have given some very strong performances. The film takes a light look at the complexities of love. Dharmatic Entertainment is a master at presenting romance in films. They have presented this classic story in a modern style. This is one of the best films being presented on Netflix this year. All these films have a different voice and a new perspective.”
