Ok , here is my review of jagga jasoos and will try will keep it concise and to the point.As is my usual way , I will start by

1. Story - Story is of a man who due to some circumstances becomes a part in purulia arms case . Due to his luck, he meets an orphan boy jagga and adopts him. However some big level officers are after him and he has to leave jagga behind after getting him admitted in a residential school. After that, Jagga gets a tape on his each birthday . However one birthday the tape does not arrive and it turns out that guy is dead . Jagga does not admit it and the story revolves around whether guy is alive and will jagga meet him again . Along the way jagga gets embroiled in arms deal case altogether as well.

2. Acting - every one was decent , however I liked bob biswas the most.

3. Music - thumbs up from my side

4. Direction - average

5. screenplay - lost the plot during the last 40- 50 minutes of the movie and story feels rushed to come to an ending

Overall - Movie starts on an extremely promising note and for a movie buff like me I got the sense that I am in for something special. At the intermission stage , I was excited . Movie came on main plot after intermission and the climax was extremely rushed and sadly seemed childish . Anurag Basu must take the blame for the climax for it is clear that it is the delay in making the movie which has caused the damage. During the whole climax sequence , ranbir kapoor is looking mota sa( due to him getting beefed up for sanju baba role ) and has a wig .

Anyway , it was lovely to watch the 75 % of the movie and it was an honest attempt but alas for anurag basu whose time management leaves a lot to be desired. One should watch the movie for the initial 75 % alone and so should not be missed if you watch movies for the love of cinema.

I go with 3.5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and 1/2 ⭐️

agreed...I even wrote this in my review...that they could have shortened the movie by 15-20 mins...especially the part at the beginning...it was a little cluttered there.

so he is saying that a big chunk of audience in big cities like Mumbai and Delhi have liked it...and audience from smaller cities rejected it...hmm makes sense.

I agree with return_to_hades they should have made it into trilogy/parts instead of making it of 3hours.That way the budget would have been in control and it would have done amazingly @BoxOffice.Sigh.

If they are planning for a sequel(they should)...whenever it is and whoever is in it...they should try to make it as a short story. With 2 - 3 parts... And cut the length. Concentrate on Bagchi's story and keep up with the light entertainment.

Someone please post article . It is about Tuesday collection and seems like JJ is holding on well !!

That site is not allowing me to copy paste

What is says is JJ is holding up well, had low occupancy in the morning but picked up later, had 20-25% growth in Noon and afternoon shows and has shown limited jump in evening shows 30-35% in evening shows.

Its looking around 3.5 to 3.75 crores collection for today but might be 4 crores if Night shows pick up

My note: How do they expect kids and young adults to come watch movie on schooldays?

They will come on weekends naa

JJ shd have been released during summer holidays in India...then kids could have watched on weekdays too

lol...no movie is perfect. even dangal, 3 idiots had some flaws. etc.
I as a fan did not blame shah for making ra 1. he really wanted to do ra1, and as a fan, I should give him space, respect to fulfil his dream. but I was unhappy with his CE, hny and dudwaale. I loved his fan and raees. yes they were flawed, but I loved his performance. going to be honest, I am not liking promos of his jhms, but still going to see the movie in theaters, if I don't like it, I will be vocal about it. if the movie turns out to be same old crap, it will upset me, why shah keeps doing this.

coming to ranbir, so far so good. I am not unhappy he did BV. he still has a long way to go. and you gotta experiment anything, everything. some will work, some wont.

JJ was giving so much barfi vibe. I got turned off after 1st trailer, songs were not working for me.
but when I saw the movie, it certainly brought smile on my face. biru has heart set at right place. I am glad he did JJ, regardless of the outcome. again movie is flawed, then , which movie is not. he aced the performance, I am excited to see how he performs in Dutt. I am worried about the biopic, but if it does become a commercial success, biru will be back in game.

one thing no on can take from him, his talent, skills, ...yes they all can take the boxoffice numbers from him, but on one is even close to birus talent.

I ain't gonna mourn over movie getting disaster tag. I got my moneys worth, that's all matters.

yes the loss is huge, but I hope that doesn't stop him from moving ahead and experimenting.
and if he is blaming basu, he needs to stop it. be a man enough to take full responsibility of this failure to yourself.

end of the day its just a movie.
