    Jazbaa is a film which thrives on style and Gupta knows how to present a thriller. Aishwarya Rai and Irrfan will take you to a new territory and then keep you there for most of its 130-minute duration. Jazbaa is a good watch this weekend.

    Jazbaa’s narrative has pace and power. From screeching car sequences to emotionally-charged showdowns between his accomplished lead cast; the film throbs. Which is not to say that there are no flaws. The green hue overshadows Mumbai’s skyline. Aishwarya is rusty at the start but eventually takes charge of the dual aspects of her character.
    Aishwarya has made a judicious screen choice after that five-year hiatus!

    If you enjoy whodunits, watch it. You won’t see the suspense coming.

  • Jazbaa is a captivating thriller with good performances that make it a decent one-time watch.

  • …is a well-made film true to its genre. It has a message and it has a motive!

  • If only Gupta had gone a little easy on the unnecessary and intrusive melodrama. Even then, it’s a good one time watch for sure.

    It’s a hardhitting unconstitutional message, packaged and projected with a precarious panache peculiar to Sanjay Gupta’s cinema.
    If you’ve ever wondered what edge-of-the-seat thriller meant, here’s your chance to find out.

  • …is compelling. If it were served like a food, it can be said, it was the meat of a meal with its vintage-like cinematography, pace and drama. And an ensemble that lived up-to its expectation.

    An edge of the seat thriller that delivers because of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Irrfan Khan’s able performances, Jazbaa won’t disappoint. Book your ticket today.

  • Despite the story being highly far-fetched, the film is still arresting for its pacy storytelling, actors who perform with conviction, and a few interesting surprises in the finale. Whether it’s the performances, the characters, the motive, or the storytelling-there are traces of jazbaa everywhere. Worth a watch!

  • The wicked climax of Jazbaa makes it a satisfying watch, but not a watertight thriller.

    Don’t miss it:

  • Sanjay could have spared us the over exaggerated melodrama but at the end of the day, Jazbaa is a great weekend watch and entertaining movie that you will enjoy watching!

  • Jazbaa is daring, menacing, intriguing and aptly gripping but is never more than a shadow of its original. Novelty is avoidable if the product is able to latch itself to your subconscious (My facourite example of this is Barfi), but Jazbaa barely scrapes through on those grounds. It works but it could’ve been so much better.

  • Director Sanjay Gupta has done a fine job with ‘Jazbaa’ as it has a gripping storyline which keeps you glued to your seat. ‘Jazbaa’ is indeed a well directed and a well made suspense thriller and it also has a shocking climax which is least expected. Full marks to Sanjay Gupta, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and also the supporting cast. Book your tickets right away if you like well made suspense thrillers and one with a good revelationary climax.
