Aap Jaisa Koi is a new Netflix India film that was released just last weekend. The movie has a lot of flaws, and it is far from a good film. But it is gaining some sort of limelight. It is being accused of spreading wokeness. The movie by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is a rehashed version of Rocky Aur Ranii Ki Prem Kahaani. The same concept of modernity vs customs in garb of individual agency and traditional expectations.
You must remember the case of Mrs. This movie starring Sanya Malhotra was a massive success and the large part of the success goes to the controversy around it.
It victimised a housewife who wanted to pursue dancing but was forced to cook for two extremely demanding men. That film was labelled as woke, leftist and even accused of destroying Indian culture.
The same allegations are being pointed at Aap Jaisa Koi. The movie has tried to normalise premarital relationships that is not going well with a lot of people. They think it is a sort of propaganda film that should not have been made.
While differing opinions are nice but to straight up label opposing opinions as either misogynist or woke is not something healthy.
We are dying to know what you think about the film.
