Description: Jabariya Jodi (2019) is a Hindi film that received mixed reviews. Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars, calling it “inexplicably convoluted and unforgivably long.” Sandip Pal from DesiMartini rated it 2 stars, questioning the film’s haphazard plotline. While he noted Sidharth Malhotra’s comfort in his role, he criticized his Bihari accent as unconvincing. Parineeti Chopra, who often plays bold characters, was described as strong in the first half but overly emotional and weak in the second, with a sudden and off-putting shift in her character.
Koimoi rated the film 3 out of 5, suggesting it might be worth watching if viewers can overlook its flaws. Lately, the movie was given 2.5 stars, with the review noting that the comedic elements of the “Jabariya” (groom-napping) theme were entertaining, but the romantic aspects fell short. The performances of Sidharth and Parineeti were deemed decent but undermined by unclear character development. Lakshana N Palat of India Today described the film as “excruciatingly painful,” rating it 1.5 stars. Overall, Jabariya Jodi is considered a passable one-time watch, though its second half struggles to maintain audience engagement.
