In the film “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya,” the storyline revolves around a science fiction love story that takes an unfortunate turn due to a malfunctioning battery. Starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon, the movie fails to deliver meaningful dialogue or coherence. Despite attempts at humor, the comedy falls flat and lacks intentionality.
Directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah for Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and Jio Studios, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” presents itself as a romantic comedy but falls short of both romance and comedy elements. Drawing parallels to Maria Schrader’s “I Am Your Man,” the film features a female protagonist who agrees to spend time with a humanoid robot programmed to fulfill her needs.
While the movie shares thematic similarities with “I Am Your Man,” it lacks the depth and philosophical undertones of the German film. Instead, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” quickly loses its novelty and fails to engage its audience effectively.
Critics have pointed out the film’s misogynistic undertones, portraying the ‘perfect woman’ as a robotic entity designed to obey commands without question. The storyline perpetuates outdated stereotypes and fails to offer any meaningful commentary on relationships or gender dynamics.
The male protagonist, Aryan Agnihotri (Shahid Kapoor), a robotics engineer, falls for Sifra (Kriti Sanon) during a trip to the US. Sifra, created by Aryan’s aunt, is presented as the ideal companion but lacks agency and independence.
As the plot unfolds, the film descends into a series of clichés and predictable scenarios. Despite the efforts of the cast, including veteran actors like Dharmendra and Dimple Kapadia, the movie fails to deliver genuine humor or emotional depth.
“Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” attempts to blend elements of romance, comedy, and family drama but ultimately falls short on all fronts. With its shallow portrayal of relationships and reliance on tired stereotypes, the film is best avoided.
In summary, “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” is a disappointing experiment that fails to resonate with audiences. Its lack of substance and reliance on outdated tropes make it a forgettable addition to the romantic comedy genre.
