‘Umjolo: There is No Cure’ (2025) Netflix Movie Review - Slightly Better

I have no idea how many Umjolo movies are left to be released. And I am not a fan of it but for a change, this one is better. The film Umjolo: There is No Cure follows the journey of a former beauty queen whose life takes a sudden downturn when she becomes entangled in a public scandal. With her reputation on the line and her personal life in shambles, she devises a plan to regain control—by writing a memoir. In pursuit of guidance for this ambitious project, she reaches out to her favorite author, a writer she has long admired. However, what starts as a professional collaboration soon takes an unexpected turn. As they spend time together, an undeniable connection forms between them, leaving them both grappling with emotions they never anticipated. But the real question remains—will they have the courage to acknowledge and embrace their feelings, or will their fears and circumstances hold them back?

From the very beginning, this film stood out as one of the strongest entries in the Umjolo anthology. It particularly shines more than its immediate predecessor, which, , felt somewhat chaotic and fell short of expectations. Umjolo: There is No Cure brings a refreshing sense of balance to the series, delivering a romantic comedy that flows effortlessly from start to finish. The narrative unfolds smoothly, allowing the central characters’ chemistry to develop naturally rather than feeling forced. Watching them navigate their emotions, hesitations, and growing attraction was both engaging and satisfying.

One of the standout elements of this film is how it seamlessly integrates familiar faces from the previous installments. These subtle yet meaningful appearances from past characters create a sense of continuity, making the anthology feel like a cohesive universe rather than a collection of disconnected love stories. This approach adds depth to the overall experience, making it feel as though the audience is revisiting a world they’ve come to know and love. It’s a delightful touch that enhances the storytelling and fosters a deeper emotional connection with the series as a whole.

As a romantic comedy, the film does a fantastic job of keeping viewers entertained while also delivering heartfelt moments. The humor is well-timed, never overshadowing the emotional core of the story, and the romantic tension is executed in a way that keeps audiences invested. The progression of the relationship between the two leads is handled with care, allowing their bond to unfold naturally rather than rushing into predictable tropes.

Overall, Umjolo: There is No Cure is a standout entry in the anthology, successfully blending romance, humor, and character development into a compelling narrative. It offers a fresh and engaging take on love and self-discovery, making it an enjoyable watch for both long-time fans of the series and newcomers alike. If the remaining films in the anthology can maintain this level of storytelling and charm, then Umjolo is set to leave a lasting impression in the world of romantic comedies.

Final Score- [6/10]
