Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya

 


2024 Indian Hindi-language science fiction romantic comedy film starring Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon. The film is written and directed by Amit Joshi and Aradhana Sah, in their directorial debuts, and produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios.

Aryan Agnihotri, a smart robotics engineer born in Delhi, now based in Mumbai, follows in the footsteps of his aunt, Urmila Shukla, who owns a company, E-Robotics, in Los Angeles. Urmila invites Aryan to the U.S., where he eventually meets SIFRA (Super Intelligent Female Robot Automation), Urmila's secretary. Aryan is unaware that SIFRA is a robot and falls in love with her. However, he later discovers that SIFRA is actually a robot, created by his aunt as a test to see if humans could differentiate SIFRA from themselves.

Heartbroken by the revelation, Aryan returns to India and agrees to an arranged marriage. But as the engagement approaches, Aryan realizes his true feelings for SIFRA. He decides to sneak out of the engagement ceremony but is caught by his grandfather, who encourages him to follow his heart, assuring Aryan that he will handle the family in his absence. Aryan wishes to have SIFRA in India to introduce her to his family, so he calls his aunt and requests that she send SIFRA to India for further "testing" within a traditional Indian family setting. Urmila agrees, and SIFRA is sent to India, where Aryan introduces her as his girlfriend, leading to numerous comical situations.

Aryan's family, unaware of SIFRA's true nature, agrees to their marriage. However, just before the wedding, SIFRA installs a faulty update, riddled with a virus, which corrupts her memory and causes her to forget everything. In desperation, Aryan calls his aunt for help, who sends him a memory backup. Aryan successfully restores SIFRA's memory, but Urmila, who was unaware of Aryan's intentions to marry SIFRA, is furious when she learns the truth. She demands that Aryan return SIFRA, claiming she is the intellectual property (IP) of her company. After an emotional conversation, Aryan convinces his aunt to let him keep SIFRA.

On their wedding day, a blackout occurs while SIFRA is charging, causing her to malfunction. Her speech becomes distorted, and her movements begin to glitch, executing previously given orders that had since been canceled, including one to "set Delhi on fire." Witnessing the destruction caused by SIFRA, a devastated Aryan is forced to stop her by slashing her face with a sword, revealing the inner technical workings and realizing that, despite her human appearance, she can never truly be human.

Later, at a tech show in Mumbai, Urmila launches a new series of robots, including SIFRA 2.0. The new SIFRA has her memory and settings formatted, and Aryan is no longer her administrator. Jiah, a new intern, approaches Aryan and flirts with him. Observing their interaction, the new SIFRA starts to display jealousy, shocking Aryan as he realizes that she may be developing feelings of her own.
