Shahid Kapoor hits a century in a film that's just too long
ersey stays true to the sports drama genre it belongs to and it strikes a fine balance between the game and emotional side of a sportsperson. Only if the makers had worked a little harder on the editing table and brought it to two-hour something, it would have been an ideal and crisp watch.(more)

Shahid Kapoor delivers emotional innings in this fitting remake
Director Gowtam Tinnanuri sticks to his original plot and treatment as far as the film goes, the setting and characters are now in North India. Jersey isn't the stereotypical sports film where you expect cheers and loud applause for every six and a four. It is a serious film and it deals with deeper issues than those that meet the eye.(more)

Shahid Kapoor film is sincere but lacklustre
An emotional end, even if it feels very last-minute, provides the essential drama that a movie like this needs. That, and the message that it�s never too late to make your dreams come true. (more)

Shahid Kapoor's Star Turn Holds The Film Together
Jersey is, in the end, a story of loss and hope, tragedy and tenacity, the vicissitudes of fate and the assertion of the human spirit. It is told with a fair degree of flair until the 'explosive' cricket action gets in the way.The best way to enjoy the film, therefore, would be to discount the flatness of the one-way cricketing action - everything Arjun does on the field is crowned with success, so one is never exactly waiting with bated breath to find out how his outings with the bat are going to pan out - and concentrate on the unfolding and shifting family drama that is on offer.(more)

Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur Jersey rests on outstanding performances, emotional moments, and the touching finale.
Gowtam Tinnanuri's direction is fair. The pain and dilemma that the protagonist goes through come out very well. Hence, one is connected to the character from start to finish. There are some heroic scenes in the film that are helmed in a commercial manner. When it comes to the emotional quotient, Gowtam gives his best. On the flipside, he has made a scene-by-scene remake of the Telugu original film. Those who have seen it will not find anything novel here. Moreover, at 171 minutes, the film is needlessly lengthy.(more)

A well-pitched father-son drama
Even though this is a sports-led drama, you don't quite encounter too many of those nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat moments, though whatever you see engages you, especially if you have not seen the original. This film leans more on emotional drama, while it could have struck a finer balance between the sports and the human drama.(more)
