Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024) Movie Review: Shahid Kapoor Falls for an AI, Does It Spark or Short Circuit?


Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya : Short Version Review


Is it possible to fall in love with a machine? That's the central question posed by "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya," a new Bollywood film starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. Directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah, the film takes audiences on a whirlwind journey of love, family, and the evolving nature of human connection in the age of artificial intelligence.


Aryan Agnihotri (Shahid Kapoor), a robotics programmer, unknowingly becomes entangled in the final testing phase of a sophisticated AI project. He soon finds himself developing feelings for Sifra (Kriti Sanon), a highly advanced robot created by his aunt, Urmila (Dimple Kapadia). As their bond deepens, Aryan grapples with societal norms and his own emotional turmoil. He ultimately decides to introduce Sifra to his family, leading to hilarious and heartwarming encounters. Their journey culminates in a question that challenges traditional notions of love and commitment.


Kapoor delivers a nuanced performance as Aryan, capturing his initial skepticism, growing affection, and ultimate vulnerability. Sanon shines as Sifra, imbuing the AI with warmth, humor, and a surprising depth of emotion. The supporting cast, including veterans like Dimple Kapadia and Dharmendra, add layers of humor and warmth to the narrative.


The film boasts stunning visuals and a vibrant color palette that complements the playful nature of the story. The CGI seamlessly integrates Sifra into the real world, making her interactions with Aryan believable and engaging. The soundtrack, featuring catchy melodies and soulful ballads, further enhances the emotional impact of the film.


While the film's premise is intriguing, the exploration of the central relationship could have gone deeper. The emotional connection between Aryan and Sifra, though well-acted, feels underdeveloped at times. The film also skirts over the ethical and social implications of human-AI relationships, leaving some questions unanswered.


"Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya" is a charming and visually stunning film that offers a lighthearted exploration of love, family, and technology. While the central relationship could have been fleshed out further, the strong performances, beautiful visuals, and heartwarming humor make it a worthwhile watch.


Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 out of 5 stars
