Review
Aap Jaisa Koi is not just a love story; it's a story of dreams, self-respect, and choices. The film takes a simple idea and presents it in a way that feels personal. The pacing is slow in some parts, but the emotions hold you throughout. The chemistry between the leads is very natural and relatable.
This film reminds us of Bhool Chuk Maaf, but in a more serious and heartfelt tone.
Story
The story follows Aarav, a middle-aged man who works in a publishing house and lives a quiet life. He meets Noor, a single mother who is strong, independent, and focused on her daughter. They slowly become friends and later fall in love.
But their love is not simple. Noor’s past, her daughter’s future, and society’s opinions become problems they must face. Aarav must prove that love is not about age or situation, but about the heart.
The film shows many emotional moments between parents and children, lovers, and society. It asks one important question – can love give someone a second chance in life?

Acting
R. Madhavan gives a mature and soft performance. His expressions speak more than words. Fatima Sana Shaikh plays her role with strength and dignity. She shows the struggles of a single mother very well.
Divyam Dubey, who plays Noor’s daughter, is a fresh surprise. She brings innocence and sweetness to the film. The side actors support the story without taking focus away from the main characters.
Direction
Director Vivek Soni has done a great job in keeping the story real and simple. The scenes are not over-dramatic and everything feels natural. The storytelling reminds us of Stolen (2025), which was also simple and touching.
He uses silent moments very well. The film does not try to impress with big drama but wins hearts with emotions.

Technical Department
Cinematography by Debojeet Ray is beautiful. The soft lighting and real locations make the movie feel personal.
Editing is clean but could have been a little tighter.
Production design is minimal and helps in making the story believable.
The technical team worked smoothly to create a grounded world for the characters.
Music Review
The music of the film is a big plus. Composers Rochak Kohli and Justin Prabhakaran bring a soft and emotional sound to the movie.
The songs do not disturb the flow of the movie. They help move the story forward.
One song, “Chup Rehna”, sung during a fight scene, brings out deep emotion. Another track, “Aap Jaisa Koi”, plays during a happy moment and stays in your mind after the movie ends.
Music lovers who liked the soundtrack of Costao or DNA will also enjoy this one.
Verdict
Aap Jaisa Koi is a soft, sweet, and emotional film. It tells the story of love, pain, and second chances. The performances are good, the music is beautiful, and the emotions are real.
Though a bit slow at times, the movie touches the heart and leaves a warm feeling. It is not a commercial film, but it is a film that will stay with you for a long time.
If you are looking for action or thrill, this may not be your type. But if you want to see a film with real feelings and gentle storytelling, then Aap Jaisa Koi is worth watching.
