      Guy Lodge Variety The result is sometimes slack but incrementally powerful, marked by a palpable sense of renewed purpose on the part of its helmer. Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Proma Khosla indieWire Like the title, the film is a missive to Jassi, and a promise that she won’t be forgotten. Rated: A- Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International The love story fails to completely captivate, and the examination of this classist, regressive society too easily becomes repetitive rather than proving insightful or damning. Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Overall, “Jassi” is an excellent movie that remains entertaining from beginning to end, while presenting its pragmatic comments in the most eloquent fashion. Rated: 7.5 Dec 17, 2023 Full Review Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily Dear Jassi is working on a meta level, subverting a classic storyline -- in that case, it was a hero’s journey; in this case, it’s two illicit lovers’ flight -- to create a powerful and provocative film about family, pride and tribalism. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Courtney Small That Shelf Dear Jassi is a powerful tale of the unwavering flame of love and the brutal injustice that often tries to extinguish it.
