R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh's new film ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ has landed on Netflix, immediately dividing audiences and critics. The romantic drama, directed by Vivek Soni, presents a story about an unlikely romance between a middle-aged Sanskrit teacher and a younger woman.

The film explores what happens when a middle-aged Sanskrit teacher who has never experienced female company suddenly finds himself attracted to a gorgeous younger woman. The premise asks whether this newfound attention is genuine or if there's a hidden catch.

The relationship drama promised to explore human impulses and give actors room for nuanced performances. However, critics note that the film fails to utilise its surprise elements effectively. The material never reaches its full potential despite having a solid foundation for character development.

Cast members include R Madhavan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhary, and Namit Das. Director Vivek Soni leads the project, which focuses on the complexities of modern relationships and age-gap romance.

Aap Jaisa Koi Twitter Review

Social media users have expressed vastly different opinions about the film since its Netflix release. The responses range from enthusiastic praise to harsh criticism.

Some viewers praised the film as essential viewing. User @zeishahamlani posted: "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 user @apoorvamehta18 expressed enthusiasm: "It's the era of barabari wala pyaar Ab bas aap jaisa koi ka hai intezaar Watch Aap Jaisa Koi, out now, only on Netflix!"

User @AnHonestManSays showed anticipation: "I really want Aap jaisa koi to get good reviews, bada mann ho raha hai wo dekhne ka because of madhavan"

However, several critics delivered harsh verdicts. One review called it "Aap Jaisa Koi - Old-School Mess!!!" stating: "Aap Jaisa Koi attempts to tell a light-hearted romantic story between a middle-aged, world-weary man and a younger, free-spirited woman." The reviewer gave it a rating of "Tin"

Film critic Sukanya Verma (@SukanyaVerma) offered a mixed assessment: "A fanciful air envelopes #AapJaisaKoi's modest drama, of a story lost in its own bubble that's only burst by villains in the form of judgemental jerks and heroes in need of rescuing."

Director Vivek Soni's visual style drew both praise and criticism. User @vikasonorous noted: "Vivek Soni continues creating pretty pictures, while Dharma continues to prettify and simplify complex problems."

The film's approach to storytelling has been questioned by several reviewers who feel it oversimplifies complex social issues.

Some critics expressed strong negative reactions. User @archisengupta wrote: "#AapJaisaKoi releases today on #Netflix and, in a surprising twist that no one could've figured out, it becomes the problem that it wants to address. I hate it."

The film's treatment of gender equality themes has sparked debate. User @SAMTHEBESTEST_ provided a balanced view: "#AapJaisaKoi (2025) : Movie Review - Dated Feminism, But Makes Some Powerful Speeches On Equality"

The film joins ongoing conversations about age-gap relationships in cinema and how Bollywood handles such sensitive topics. Critics debate whether the film successfully navigates these themes or falls into problematic territory.

‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ continues to generate polarised reactions on social media. While some viewers find it compelling and necessary viewing, others dismiss it as outdated and problematic. The film's ultimate success will depend on broader audience reception beyond initial Twitter reactions.
