 There are some movies for which you actually feel bad if the final outcome is not as interesting as you would have expected after the first half. 'Koi Aap Sa' is one of them. Though the movie begins well, a series of absurd incidents over the course of time make one loose interest in the proceedings and hence dampen the effect of some fine work done in the initial reels.
Debutant director Partho Mitra's movie aims at addressing the age old question - Can true friends ever be lovers? The movie answers this towards the end. Koi Aap Sa is about Rohan [Aftab Shivdasani] and Simran [Natassha], two youngsters who are fast friends and study in the same college. While Rohan is a terrible dancer and a terrific football player, Simran is an outgoing personality too. She is Rohan's lucky charm - be it his football game or his first date. Such is their friendship that the entire college acknowledges and respects this relationship.
 Rohan is in love with a girl, Priti [Dipannita Sharma], from a neighborhood Arts College, but can't muster enough courage to propose her. Simran helps him in this endeavor of his too and helps them come closer. Priti reciprocates as well and while everything is seemingly fine, she has little apprehensions about Simran being too involved in her love life. And which girl won't feel like that when her boy friend's best friend would want to even travel with them on their first date in the same car while being sandwiched between the two!?
Well, things take a turn for the better with the arrival of Vicky [Himanshu Malik], Simran's fiancée, who returns from abroad to get engaged with her. While he too gets a little inkling about Simran-Rohan closeness, he ignores the thought. Things go on a right path with the engagement of Vicky and Simran after which Vicky flies back to US for some time before he could return back for the marriage. Meanwhile Rohan-Priti romance continues in full swing with active support from Simran. Until one fateful night ruins it all......
 Vicki's best friend and mentor Ranjeet [Gautam Kapoor], who had his eyes set on Simran since he saw her first, rapes her and leaves her pregnant. Later he dies in an accident when Rohan tries to catch him after his misdeed. No one apart from Rohan knew the actual incident and even when Simran tries to explain about the cause of her pregnancy to her near and dear ones, no one buys her side of the story and instead accuse Rohan of fathering the child. Vicki breaks off the engagement while Rohan continues to support Simran and bring her out of her trauma.
Tired of being taunted and humiliated by everyone, Rohan proposes marriage to Simran and after a slight hesitation she too agrees. The two get engaged and while they try to forget their past they start falling in love with each other. This is when Vicki comes back and requests Simran to come back in his life.....
The movie could have been an ideal youthful entertainer but doesn't succeed in its goal. There are numerous moments in the first half that keep you smiling along, most notably being:
- Aftab being misunderstood by Hema Sardesai as a model for the real-life art class
- Aftab's first date with Dipannita
- Natassha's tips to Aftab for wooing a girl
- Aftab being misunderstood as the groom by Natassha's relatives
While the first half is fine, it is again not of the kind that could make a movie belong to the 'must-watch' category. Still at the least it makes you look forward to things. But second half picks up momentum only intermittently. There are some incidents that make the proceedings more absurd than anything else. For example which parents would make their daughter stand in front of 5 people and ask her who has fathered her child? Or the ever-grim looking father [Rajendra Gupta] stating 'Jai Mata Di' to state end of a talk. Straight out of K3G where Big B mouthed 'Keh Diya Naa, Bas Keh Diya' to prove a point, here too it is used wi
