Each Minute Of Parineeti Chopra, Sidharth Malhotra's Film Feels Like A Lifetime
If only there was a conjurer's trick that could turn Jabariya Jodi into a coherent whole. But even if any such sleight exists somewhere in the world, the director clearly isn't aware. Steadfastly puerile, Jabariya Jodi, a film that appears to have been made under duress by a group of people playing blind man's buff, is a big splotch of utter nonsense.(more)

Painfully preachy, without an ounce of unpredictability
The redemption then for Jabariya Jodi is fleeting and in spurts. Thanks to a cracking supporting cast, the film isn't entirely an oppressive watch. Sanjay Mishra, as Babli's patient and benevolent father, shines in every moment he's on screen. Javed Jaffrey as Abhay's father, is equal parts the menacing wannabe Bihari politician-cum-thug as well as sassy joker. Some of the most deliciously cheesy lines are devoted to his camaraderie with subordinate goons. Aparshakti Khurana as Babli's pal Santo is hilarious in spite of the injustice meted out to his character. It's as if every single actor, with the exception of the lead duo, have done their best for Jabariya Jodi. Unfortunately, it's just not enough.(more)

Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra bring anything but their best to the table
Imagine sitting with a straight face for 144 minutes for a movie that was supposed to have comedy as an integral part. I only heard four college kids, who bunked their morning class, laugh on two jokes. This one is boring and unnecessarily dragged to a point where the concept it is based on is nowhere to be seen(more)

Forced Effort
There are flashes of brilliance from the prop cast. Sanjay Mishra as Babli's father, Javed Jaffrey as Hukum Singh, and Aparshakti Khurana as Babli's friend are a delight to watch, but their performances are hampered by shoddy writing. Jabariya Jodi is a case of jabariya filmmaking. That's not amusing at all.(more)

When Your One-Liners Speak Louder Than Anything!
Jabariya Jodi is an entertaining funfair backed with a comparatively much-serious issue. It boasts many rib-tickling one-liners and actors those have nailed in delivering them. A time-pass watch if you minus the drama!(more)
