From the moment Kuku (played by Varun Dhawan) first sees Naina (portrayed by Kiara Advani), he knows she’s the one. Their love story spans from childhood to adulthood, but after five years of marriage, cracks begin to appear. With their relationship faltering, the couple decides to separate, but the real challenge lies in confessing their decision to their families. Particularly daunting is the task of breaking the news to Kuku’s lively and exuberant family, amidst preparations for his younger sister Ginni’s (played by Prajakta Koli) wedding. While the plot may seem straightforward, director Raj Mehta and the writers introduce a series of relationship issues at a rapid pace. They take common Indian dilemmas and infuse them with comedic twists, portraying everything from nosy relatives pestering newlyweds for children to young women marrying for stability rather than love. The film delicately addresses these issues, always with a touch of humor. Mehta’s flawed yet authentic characters and their relatable problems make for an engaging narrative—a roller coaster ride of relationship challenges tackled with finesse, ensuring the film remains far from tedious.
Anil Kapoor steals the show as the vibrant and vivacious family patriarch, Bheem. His portrayal is impeccable, making audiences empathize with his eccentricities. Varun Dhawan showcases commendable restraint in a genre typically marked by over-the-top drama, while Kiara Advani shines in every scene, delivering a stellar performance. Neetu Kapoor is charming and fits her role perfectly, particularly when her character takes charge in the second half. YouTuber Prajakta Koli makes a confident debut, though there’s room for improvement in her expressions. Maniesh Paul is aptly cast as the flamboyant Gurpreet.
While most of the film’s humor lands successfully, the background score occasionally feels forced to prompt laughter. The catchy music, including songs like “Nach Punjaban,” adds to the film’s appeal. Despite some pacing issues, the movie starts strong and finishes even stronger, buoyed by powerful performances and quirky dialogue. Like its characters, “Jug Jugg Jeeyo” has its flaws, but ultimately delivers a heartwarming family entertainer that’s perfect for a theatrical viewing.
