Teri Baton Mein Aisa Uljha Zia Review: An Experiment Gone Bad
A science fiction love story undone by a faulty battery, Teri Baton Me Aisa Uljha Zia Hopelessly half-baked fare. The Shahid Kapoor-Kriti Sanon starrer is a word that is in the realm of meaningful conversation, without intelligibility. If it’s ever funny, it’s only unintentionally so.
Written and directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah for Madoc Films and Dinesh Vijan of Jio Studios, Teri Baton Me Aisa Uljha Zia A rom-com that masquerades as a family drama and manages to be both
There are films I’m Your Man by Maria SchraderA German sci-fi drama set to release in 2021 The film’s female protagonist, an archaeologist seeking funding for a research project, agrees to spend three weeks with a humanoid robot programmed to be a perfect partner to her every need, feeling and emotion. emotion
This is not recommended Teri Baton Me Aisa Uljha Zia I can’t be your man. The German film was a serious-minded, philosophy-romance. The film under review is a fluffy, uncomfortable affair that takes no time to get stuck in.
Once the novelty of the concept wears off – and it does very quickly – there’s little on offer here apart from the fact that this is the first time Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Shannon have teamed up.
More than anything else, it’s a misogynist’s unbridled fantasy. This turns the ‘perfect woman’ into a super-robot designed to dance to the tune of its creator or owner, an obedient machine coded to take orders and be turned on or off at the flick of a button. That is anything but funny.
what Teri Baton Me Aisa Uljha Zia The desire to drive becomes apparent only when the single protagonist tells his married male friend that the robotic woman who has wandered into his life is better than a sleazy wife. Neither of the two bats bat an eye when the line is delivered because they believe a woman must be an engineer to fall on the line. If it’s any consolation, two people may be full of themselves but they’re not completely toxic.
The film in which these characters appear is a casually, blatantly sexist comedy, a raunchy Kabir Singh and a misfit. Pear Ka Panchanama.
The film’s male protagonist, Aryan Agnihotri (Shahid Kapoor), a Delhi boy, is a robotics engineer who falls for Sifra (Kriti Sanon) on a trip to the US. He has no idea who the girl is until much damage is done.
Sifra is the most ambitious creation of the hero’s aunt Urmila Shukla (Dimple Kapadia), the owner of a prosperous robotics firm in the US of A. The latter insists that the robot is meant to be the companion of a lonely heart but does not tell us why the ‘humanoid’ called by its master must be a woman.
Arian prefers to be alone. Not only does he reject girl after girl chosen for him by his family, he also rejects the advances of a female colleague due to his lack of compatibility. But a day out with Sifra, the super-efficient caretaker of his workaholic Moussa’s house, forces the standoffish man to let his guard down. Arian’s life is not the same again.
TBMAUJ Stupidity begins. With each passing scene, it becomes more innocuous and innocuous until it scrapes the bottom of the barrel. A befuddled but confused Ariane is unable to get Sifra out of her head. He convinces his aunt to send the robot to Mumbai, where he works. He takes the girl home and sends her away as an orphan.
Letting a robot into a conservative Delhi family is supposed to lead to funny situations. But the film remains unrelentingly unusual. The gag falls flat. The actors have to push themselves to make something out of the sloppy script. But theirs is a losing battle.
Aryan calls his brood “a classic Indian family”. He may be right because they are as bigoted and obstinate as they come. His grandfather (Dharmendra), ironically, seems the most docile of them all. Aaryan’s parents (Rakesh Bedi and Anuva Fatehpuria), her father-in-law and her husband (Grusha Kapoor and Brijbhushan Shukla) and an unmarried uncle (Rajesh Kumar), mudslingers of sorts, all have a say in Aaryan’s personal decisions.
Inevitable complications arise when Sifra breaks into Aryan’s house in Delhi. He is way out of his family’s league. She is fair and very beautiful, has flawless skin, and can cook very well and quickly. He can sing and dance. And from America and still culture to boot
What could be more appealing to a potential bride than a “classic Indian family” – especially the kind that Bollywood movies have invented for mass consumption? They collectively fall in love with the lady who can do no wrong.
Cipher clearly has no agency. He is after all a machine who does exactly what he is ordered to do and often needs to be charged. Well, the family is thrilled to find him in their midst until his true identity is revealed to them.
All the singing and dancing and feeble attempts to tickle the funny bone don’t pay much dividends. The film relies heavily on the chemistry between Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon to help bridge its gaping hole-sized holes. But since its progress is like a low-quality automaton acquired from the gray market, Teri Baton Me Aisa Uljha Zia Runs on empty and doesn’t deflect even slightly.
It’s all empty chatter and no real substance. An experiment gone awry, it’s a two-and-a-half-hour cinematic prophesy. can be avoided.
