Jabariya Jodi Review: Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra starrer is a funny and entertaining filmBy Vandana Srivastawa on August 09, 2019
Jabariya Jodi Review: Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra starrer is a funny and entertaining film
Film: Jabariya Jodi
Cast: Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra, Aparshakti Khurana, Sanjay Mishra, Neeraj Sood, Gopal Dutt, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sharad Kapoor, Sheeba Chaddha, Arshi Lamba and Chandan Roy Sanyal
Director: Prashant Singh
Jabariya Jodi has Bihar’s infamous ‘Pakadwa Vivah’ at its backdrop. The film starts with a flashback wherein we see two 10-12-year-old kids. One is Sidharth Malhotra in his character of Abhay Singh and the other is Parineeti Chopra playing Babli Yadav. Apparently, the two kids fall in love but their love story does not come to fruition as their parents come to know and Parineeti’s family shifts to Patna.
The film moves on to the present day where Sidharth has matured into the ring leader of ‘Pakadva Vivah’ where he kidnaps greedy grooms and get them forcibly married without any hopes of laying their hands on a fat dowry. Jaaved Jaaferi plays Sidharth’s father in the film whereas Sanjay Mishra plays the role of Parineeti’s father. Sidharth’s claim to fame is getting grooms forcibly marry their fiancées without any dowry demands and in this scenario, he once again comes face-to-face with his childhood sweetheart Parineeti. Parineeti plays a bold girl who decides to elope with her boyfriend but when he ditches her at the last moment she gets him beaten up for the betrayal.
Parineeti and Sidharth end up getting hitched in true ‘jabariya’ fashion but here is where director Prashant Singh comes up with his trump card. Prashant along with screenwriter Sanjeev K Jha has presented a very entertaining story that keeps the audience’s attention intact. The dialogues of the film are extremely funny and witty and with Jaaferi and Mishra cracking jokes in their deadpan poker-faced style Jabriya Jodi becomes a highly entertaining and rib-tickling watch.
The stellar supporting cast of the film has done a tremendous job. Sheeba Chadha as Parineeti’s mother, Mishra as her father, Aparshakti Khurana as her best friend and Jaaferi as Sidharth’s father steals the show. The chemistry between Parineeti and Sidharth is crackling. The two aces the accents and they will definitely impress you with their acting prowess. Ruslaan Mumtaz, Arshi Lamba and Neeraj Sood also play pivotal roles in the film. Sharad Kapoor is the surprise element in the film. The actor who was missing from the big screen for some time makes a comeback in Jabariya Jodi with a bang. He plays the antagonist in the film.
The songs of Jabariya Jodi like Khadke Glassy, Zila Hilela, Dhundhe Ankhiyaan have already topped the charts and come at the right junctures in the film. The songs do not hinder the tempo of the film but instead helps to further the story. The film’s second half is a tad shaky as it becomes a little long and boring. However, it is a feel-good film that tries to impart a valuable lesson that the use of force should not be employed in marriages or in the matters of the heart.
PeepingMoon.com gives Jabariya Jodi 3 Moons.
‘Jabariya Jodi’ Movie Review: A tiresome tale that gets difficult to tolerate
Directed By: Prashant Singh
Produced By: Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor, Shailesh R. Singh
Cast: Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra, Aparshakti Khurana, Sanjay Mishra, Javed Jaffrey, Chandan RoySaniyal, Gopal Dutt and Neeraj Sood
Bollywood Bubble Rating: 2/5
Despite good dialogues, ‘Jabariya Jodi’ fails to bring together sense and logic in a tale that fizzles out before erupting. The main villain is the plot that gets too difficult to tolerate especially in the second half. After a while, the scriptwriter runs out of ideas and writes whatever strikes his fancy. Alas, films are a difficult business these day and lack of thought or imagination is rarely rewarded.

Coming to the stale plot, Abhay (Sidharth Malhotra) and Babli (Parineeti Chopra) are childhood sweethearts who get separated. Years later, they meet again (Abhay is a groom kidnpper by now) but their relationship gets as complicated and confusing as ethical hacking and they do not marry and live happily ever after. They could have easily done so but then, the scriptwriter needed to fill in pages for a 2 hour film.
What’s annoying is that the film brings together a talented bunch of actors who deliver some great standalone one-liners. If only the film was funny as a whole concept, we would have been treated to something classic.
Coming to performances, both Sidharth and Parineeti do a fine job but they are not extraordinary either. They get the accent right without getting to a point where it looks like they are mocking the Bihari people (that’s what Arjun Kapoor did in ‘Half Girlfriend’). The superlative ensemble cast also bring in their A-Game and director Prashant really has a knack of getting the best out of his troops.
While the music of the film could have been fresher, it steers clear of the ‘annoying’ category. I quite liked the ‘Machchardaani’ song and it’s still ringing in my head.
Final verdict:
If you don’t have anything to do and you are desperately waiting for a date movie, you can go for this. Otherwise, you’ll do well to avoid it.
