Shahid Kapoor is a talented actor with a mixed bag of filmography. Every hit film of his career is followed by a series of flops. ‘Udta Punjab’ was followed by ‘Rangoon,’ ‘Padmaavat’ was succeeded by ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu,’ and ‘Kabir Singh’ was followed by ‘Jersey.’ But recent trends paint a different picture.
‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ is a sci-fi movie that was loved by people despite its flaws. The movie went on to collect around 95 Crores at the box office and was declared a hit.
The movie is about Aryan, who meets Sifra, a hyper-realistic robot with whom he develops a great bond, and he wants to marry her without knowing the actual truth about her. While the movie falters at many points, what struck its audience was its chartbuster music and the beautiful pairing, which made up for a fun theater experience.
Shahid seems to have reinvented himself to survive in this competitive environment, and it is visible in his filmography. Choosing a web series like ‘Farzi’ and movies like ‘Bloody Daddy’ shows that he is open to experiments, and ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ came out as a fruitful result of his years of struggle.
After its theatrical run, ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ is now streaming on Amazon Prime, but there is a catch. You can only rent it now. The movie will become free sometime later. So if you are planning to watch it, you need to pay extra for that.
