TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA is about a man and a robot who fall in love. Aryan, played by Shahid Kapoor, works at E-robots as a robots engineer and lives in Mumbai. His family lives in Delhi and wants him to get married. Urmila (Dimple Kapadia), his maternal aunt, is a well-known top worker at E-Robotics, and she calls Aryan to her office in the USA for a project. Urmila goes to Belgium for important work the same day Aryan gets to the US. Then she tells Aryan that Sifra, her boss, will take care of him. When Aryan meets Sifra, they feel a strong attraction to each other. They make love, and Urmila comes back the next day. It turns out that she lied to Aryan about Sifra being a robot and that she did this on purpose to see if Aryan could figure out the truth about Sifra. Since Aryan has fallen in love with Sifra, he is shocked and even sad. He cuts short his trip to the US and goes back to India to get away from Sifra before he falls even more in love with her. He’s even ready to marry the girl his family picks. He comes up with a plan because he can’t get Sifra out of his thoughts. When he calls Urmila, he asks her to send Sifra to India as a test to see how she handles crazy family members. As soon as Sifra gets to India, he tells his family that he is going to marry her. What comes next makes up the rest of the movie.
The story of Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah is unique. The script by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah is light and airy, but it’s not consistent and the ending is pretty weak. The conversation between Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah is well written, but some of the jokes don’t work.
On the other hand, some scenes that were meant to make you laugh, like the beginning scene, Aryan’s experiments with a man named Dubey, and others, fail to do so. The guys getting drunk scene is where the jokes are too forced to be funny. The makers of the show meant to show how crazy and chaotic a joint family can be, but it didn’t work out that way. The conclusion is the most important part, though. It happens all of a sudden, and the way it does will shock everyone. The message is clear, but it fails horribly when it comes to being put into action. The promise of a sequel doesn’t make up for the bad things.
The direction by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah is fine. They know how to write family pictures and add the right amount of drama, romance, and emotion. Also, the characters’ relationships are clearly shown to work. There is an easy and straightforward way to deal with the robot angle. Some scenes stand out: Aryan telling Sifra he’s sorry, Aryan finding out that Sifra is a robot, the break, Sifra getting bad software, Aryan convincing Urmila on the day of his wedding, and so on.
Wow, Shahid Kapoor looks amazing and moves like a pro. His performance is perfect, especially the way he timed his jokes. He’s also great in scenes that make you feel things. Kriti Sanon is cute and knows how to act. That she can play a character with robot-like features but still seem like a person is not easy, and she does a great job with it. The second half is where she really shines. Dharmendra doesn’t get much screen time, but he’s cute. As you might expect, Dimple Kapadia makes a mark. Support is given by Ashish Verma (Monty). A few people laugh at Rajesh Kumar (Mama). Rakesh Bedi as Mama, Anubha Fatehpuria as Sharmila, Aryan’s mother, and Grusha Kapoor as Babi Bua don’t have a lot of screen time. Both Brij Bhushan Shukla (Goldie; doctor) and Raashul Vijay Tandon (Pappu) are good. It’s funny to watch Rajan Kavatra (Inspector Gupta) and Manish Kumar (Constable Gujjar).
The music is of the popular type. “Laal Peeli Akhiyaan” is a catchy song with great choreography. “Tum Se” and “Akhiyaan Gulaab” are beautiful. There is a catchy title track that plays at the end of the movie. The background music by Sachin-Jigar goes well with the movie’s theme.
The photography by Laxman Utekar is cool. The stage design by Mayur Sharma is very good. The clothes that Sukriti Grover made for Kriti Sanon and Anisha Jain made for Shahid Kapoor look great. The plot of Aejaz Gulab and Manohar Verma is not too bloody. The VFX in Redefine are great. The editing by Manish Pradhan could have been better.
On the whole, TERI BAATON MEIN AISA ULJHA JIYA is held up by Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon’s great acting, but the writing and quick ending let it down. At the box office, it will only be able to attract a certain group of people who go to multiplexes.
