R Madhavan and Fatima starrer 'Aap Jaisa Koi' has been streaming on Netflix.

Starring Madhavan as Shrirenu, a reserved Sanskrit teacher, and Fatima Shaikh as Madhu, a spirited French instructor, 'Aap Jaisa Koi' brings together two opposites in a story that's as much about family and belonging as it is about romance.

The movie is about the love between a couple who must overcome obstacles stemming from different cultures and ideologies.

The Netflix film features Madhavan as Shrirenu Tripathi, who has been raised in a rigid Jamshedpur-based family led by patriarchs who abide by a set of rules and regulations for women.

Situations take a downturn when Madhavan falls in love with Fatima. Fatima hails from an independent family and believes in speaking her mind, objecting to the systemic condition of women being forced to follow rather than lead.

The movie features the collision of two contrasting ideologies, leaving the couple heartbroken as their love suffers.

The film is directed by Vivek Soni. The filmmaker says that 'Aap Jaisa Koi' is set to showcase a modern romance which highlights the need for real connections in today's world.

"Aap Jaisa Koi is a film about breaking free from the walls we build around ourselves. It's about embracing the awkwardness and vulnerability of love. Working with Netflix again after Meenakshi Sundareshwar has been a fulfilling experience, and I'm excited to present a love story that's tender, messy, and intimate, one that embraces vulnerability without losing its charm and breeziness. It quietly questions the roles we fall into in relationships and reflects the quiet courage it takes to truly let someone in. With R Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh bringing so much heart to their roles, the film reflects the authenticity that Netflix viewers truly connect with. It's a modern romance that speaks to the need for real connections in today's world," said Vivek Soni.

The movie is produced under the banner of Dharmatic Entertainments.

The movie had good intentions but felt a bit preachy at times. However, Fatima's performance was outstanding! She really brought Madhu's character to life.

Bollywood needs more directors like Vivek Soni who aren't afraid to tackle real issues. The generational clash shown in the film is something many Indian families face today. Kudos to the whole team!

The film was good but could have explored the male lead's transformation more deeply. That said, Fatima's note shows what a collaborative creative process looks like. More directors should foster such relationships!
