Home entertainment just got a romantic jolt of laughter as Prime Video, India’s favorite destination for film and TV, enthusiastically announced the OTT release of the crowd-pleaser ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’. The film, which packs a quirky love story and features a star-studded cast, has made the leap from its successful silver screen appearance to now being accessible on your personal screens, 24/7, across a whopping 240 countries and territories globally.
Helmed by the directorial and writing duo Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah, the romantic comedy has already established itself as a box office jewel. It introduces movie enthusiasts to an unexpected love saga starring the charismatic Shahid Kapoor and the vibrant Kriti Sanon as the leads. The ensemble cast is fortified by the legendary presence of Dharmendra and the ever-elegant Dimple Kapadia, both of whom bring gravitas to their significant roles within the narrative.
Members of Prime Video can now relish in the antics of ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ as part of their annual subscription, which delivers entertainment alongside savings and convenience, all for ₹1499 a year. True to its genre roots but with a distinctive twist, the film tracks the adventure of Aryan, portrayed by Shahid Kapoor, a robotics engineer in the throes of finding his ideal match. His journey takes a surreal turn on his visit to his aunt’s robotics enterprise stateside, where he encounters SIFRA—short for Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation—a creation of his aunt designed to see if humans can discern her from their kind. Kriti Sanon breathes life into this robotic role, igniting an inexplicable fascination in Aryan that burgeons into love. From this point on, a comedy of errors and romantic conundrums unfold as it delves into the peculiar yet enrapturing possibility of love between a man and the technology he’s become endeared to.
This concept isn’t just the heart of the film; it’s what fuels the entire plot and promises viewers an enthralling and laughter-filled viewing experience complete with surprising twists. The return of Shahid Kapoor to the romantic comedy scene is a crucial element of the buzz surrounding the film’s release. Having endeared himself to audiences with performances in hits like ‘Ishq Vishq’, ‘Chup Chup Ke’, and ‘Jab We Met’, Kapoor’s venture back into the realm of love stories had been highly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
Shahid, during one of the promotional events, shared his enthusiasm about delving back into the romantic landscape with a project as fresh as this. “Every once in a while, you look back and wonder when was the last time you did a love story,” Shahid mused. “Despite the familiarity, I sought something that stood apart. ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ resonated with that search—it was a concept that was fresh to me and will be to the audience. I was intrigued by the novelty of the love story—a romance that was set against a background I had never explored before. It’s a project that promised and delivered on the different.”
This film’s arrival on OTT platforms isn’t just another drop in the bucket of home cinema; it’s a triumphant beacon showcasing how Bollywood continues to innovate in the realm of romantic comedies. By pushing the boundaries of typical love story tropes, ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ amalgamates traditional romance with the thought-provoking implications of future technologies, potentially setting a precedent for new-age storytelling within the industry.
