Fans of
R Madhavan
were thrilled when news broke that he would be returning to the rom-com genre after years. His pairing with
Fatima Sana Shaikh
in '
Aap Jaisa Koi
' sparked even more curiosity. Now that the film has finally premiered on Netflix, many have flocked to watch it, sharing their first reactions on X (formerly Twitter). While the film's story has received mixed reactions, viewers are united in their praise for the lead pair's performances and the film's fresh take on modern love.
A fresh story that digs deeper
'Aap Jaisa Koi' is about Madhu, played by Madhavan, and Shrirenu, played by Fatima Sana Shaikh. They meet on a coffee date and feel a spark right away. They decide to give their bond some time to see if it can grow into marriage. But their relationship faces problems linked to patriarchy and what society expects. The film also has
Ayesha Raza
, Manish Chaudhari and
Namit Das
in important roles, who add more to the story.
Fans call it a must-watch
Many viewers on X praised the film and felt it was more than just a normal love story. One wrote, 'Aap jaisa koi is a MUST watch. I really needed this film to be good. And it delivers. Everything is great but Ayesha Raza wins this round.'
Another viewer shared, 'Movies rarely explore the deeper issues that ruin relationships .Then, I watched 'Aap Jaisa Koi' on Netflix, and wow! Kudos to the makers for crafting a story that is refreshing . Everyone acted well but who stole the show, watch it to know it!'
Fatima and Madhavan praised for their roles
Even though some found the story not perfect, they loved how Madhavan and Fatima played their parts. One person wrote, 'Heart-warming, modern, romcom. Watch it. @fattysanashaikh is unbelievably good. @ActorMadhavan does not have the charm that he had in his earlier films. His friend (my favourite) does well, but does not shine.
Vivek Soni
directs brilliantly. The film is rich. Every scene, every dialog is rich'
A rom-com with more to say
What stood out for many was how the film showed issues like patriarchy, age gaps, and pressure from society in a soft, slow love story. Someone else posted, 'Just watched 'Aap Jaisa Koi' on Netflix and wow🙏❤️ A subtle, slow-burn love story that hits hard on patriarchy, age gaps, and societal pressure. Madhavan is quietly powerful, but it's Fatima who truly owns the screen.'
Not without its flaws
Not everyone thought the film was amazing from start to end. One person said, 'Watched 'Aap Jaisa Koi' decent movie 7/10 i think it becomes the mixture of 1-2 movies in the last but one time watch movie. Friday night done ✔️'
Another wrote, 'Aap Jaisa Koi: refreshing direction. Loved the visuals, the subtle & bold touches, esp slo-mo family clash Ofc critical ops are there for the latter half, but overall good watch Smiled a lot! (Prob Maddy-biased 😁)'
Beautiful direction and a strong cast
Fans also loved how the film was made and praised the cast. One user said, '#AapJaisaKoi A perfect movie to start the day. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably the best set of actors assembled @ActorMadhavan He's good at what he does such a measured performance and #FatimaSanaShaikh such a beautiful performer hopefully she gets to do such movies.'
Another wrote, 'Just watched #AapJaisaKoiOnNetflix; a wonderfully mature romantic film. #RMadhavan & #FatimaSanaShaikh deliver beautiful heartfelt performances. Definitely worth a watch.'
