Netflix’s next romantic drama Aap Jaisa Koi offers a fresh perspective on love, identity, and equality. Helmed by Vivek Soni (Meenakshi Sundareshwar), the movie features R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh in a touching narrative of sudden romance and self-discovery. The trailer was released in Mumbai on June 25, giving us a peep into this emotional drama set against the backdrop of Calcutta and Jamshedpur.
A Quiet, Thoughtful Love Story
Madhavan portrays Shrirenu, a 42-year-old Sanskrit tutor and life-long bachelor who adheres to conventional values. His life is turned around when he encounters Madhu, a free-spirited and independent individual acted by Fatima Sana Shaikh. Their developing relationship compels Shrirenu to challenge deep-seated convictions and challenge conventions, particularly when their families get engaged. The movie examines if love founded on equality—”barabari ka pyaar”—is able to thrive in a conservative environment.
Written by Radhika Anand and Jehan Handa, from a story by Anand, Aap Jaisa Koi is produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital wing of Dharma Productions. The supporting cast includes Ayesha Raza, Manish Chaudhari, and Namit Das.
A Deeply Human Tale
Describing his role, Madhavan said, “Aap Jaisa Koi is unlike any love story I’ve done before. Shrirenu is awkward, gentle, and quietly emotional. It’s a patient film—quiet but deeply affecting.”
Fatima Sana Shaikh further said, “Madhu is assertive, confident, but also very feminine. It was therapeutic playing her—she allowed me to experience so many facets of love.”
Aap Jaisa Koi guarantees an emotionally engaging experience that pairs vintage charm with contemporary relationship issues. The movie will stream on Netflix on July 11, 2025, and hopes to hit the right note for viewers searching for love stories that are tender yet philosophical.
