A jaunty, likable star vehicle for the Bollywood actress Vidya Balan.

The Times of India

There are slight drawbacks - the acting sometimes slips into sit-com mode while the second half relaxes where it could've been more taut. But quibbles aside, Bobby Jasoos is a clever and joyful film

Rated: 3.5/5

Gulf News (UAE)

The suspense to the drama was so lame that we felt bad for the feisty Bobby and Balan: both deserved a riveting, gripping ending.

Rated: 2.5/5

Christine Iyer

The National (UAE)

In the midst of all this is Balan, effortless as the cheeky, fearless, sometimes bumbling amateur detective fighting for her place in this world of men and, closer to home, her conservative father.

Rated: 3/5

Bobby Jasoos, despite all its Hyderabadi cliches and too much of the overdrama, is a fresh woman-centric narrative which never slows down and frequently makes you smile. With the convenient performances, especially delivered by the absolutely amazing Vidya Balan, the film is an eye candy in the second half, but for its execution and well-rounded plot, it deserves being watched.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A feel good liberating movie that is not extraordinary. After Queen based outside India, Rani Mukherjee's similar theme based movie with Pune backdrop (Dil Bole Hadippa), Vidya's own Kolkata based movie Kahaani etc there are too many of somewhat similar "different" movies. They are still fun and good to watch but for them to now turn exhilarating, they will need something truly remarkable than the overall sorry of a girl trying to make her mark in this male dominated world. Despite an outstanding Hyderabad backdrop,this movie falls somewhat short.
