Saif steals the show in this quirky comedy
The film is highly entertaining in the first half when the narrative is light and breezy. The pace drops in the second half as it meanders towards predictable and slightly preachy parts. Especially, for single men who want to fly solo all their life. But in the end, 'Jawaani Jaaneman' comes out a winner with its non-judgmental approach and a contemporary story that showcases complex human relationships with all its quirks, firmly in place.(more)

Saif Ali Khan takes jibes at middle age head on, Alaya F makes assured debut
A side-plot about a housing redevelopment project does not fit in smoothly but otherwise, Kakkar steers clear of chest-thumping melodrama and old-school moralising.

Adequate Performances Let Down By Frustratingly Inadequate Writing
This movie is then, perhaps a study in misplaced genre. Postured as a comedy-drama, it would have served both, the acting and the film better if it was a drama-comedy instead. Before you register the drama of the scenes you are made to register its attempt at humour through the background score. I would be interested in knowing what the inverse would have looked like given such heavyweight emotive actors.(more)

Saif Ali Khans Swag Makes Your Heart Go 'Ole Ole'
Just like its name Jawaani Jaaneman, this Saif Ali Khan-Alaya F-Tabu starrer has a young vibe and its heart in the right place. Superlative performances coupled with some breezy entertainment give you enough reasons to go 'Ole Ole' over this coming-of-age family drama.(more)
