The most interesting bit about Jagga Jasoos is its musical structure. Go to Full Review

Where visuals, tone and treatment are concerned, Basu has given us a film unlike anything we've seen in recent Indian cinema, proving, if nothing else, the endless possibilities of a boundless imagination. Go to Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 07/24/2020
3/5
Even if this film might feel like an epic misfire at times, Anurag Basu's deliciously zany, ambitious adventure drama, when it is on song, has an oddly bewitching quality. Go to Full Review

Jagga Jasoos brings together a range of quality ingredients, but something has gone wrong in the cooking of it. It is highly engaging up to a point, but needed tighter writing and direction to stay on course. Go to Full Review
Rahul Desai Film Companion 03/01/2019
3/5
Basu and Kapoor might have made the mistake of dreaming with their eyes open this time. But it isn't a fatal one. It's a passionate one. It's spectacularly committed and, most of all, hopes for another day. Go to Full Review

Parts of Jagga Jasoos are greater than their sum. But there's no reason you shouldn't head to a theatre and investigate for yourself. Go to Full Review

Gonzalo C Apr 8 Great cinematography and music structure definitely worths it but too many plot twists and it feels too long sadly See more Dale R 07/07/2024 A Hindi-language movie about a teenage boy detective in search of his adoptive father. The movie is a musical which works well with the story since the lead sings to avoid stuttering. This movie does have a lot going for it. I found the story interesting and the characters likable. The music was not my brand, but I could see how someone would enjoy it. This film does have a tone problem, while there were gags that seemed targeted toward children, the themes seemed aimed more toward adults. There was also a lack of focus, like the writers were trying to tell too many stories. This is also a three hour movie, which is about an hour and a half too long. There is a lot of potential here for a franchise that wasn’t properly set up. Check it out if you’re curious. See more R C @originalsalt 10/21/2023 Bollywood musicals are epic journeys and Jagga Jasoos is no exception. Beautifully done. Just watch it and you’ll hopefully get it! See more Pratyush P 08/11/2023 Besides the somewhat rushed ending and bad VFX - this movie is a must-watch. Anurag Basu has delved where no Indian directors think of going. It is a musical and the music/songs are used to narrate the story and move the story ahead. Ranbir, Katrina, Saswata Chatterjee, and even Katrina along with Saurabh Shukla have nailed their roles. The movie is filmed like a comic book and the cinematography and color tones are simply superb. The songs of the movie are what differentiates a good musical. And Pritam absolutely nails it. My favorites were 'Musafir' and 'Khana Khake'. Do not miss it. It's totally worth a movie night! See more Rosana B 09/19/2022 Uma alegoria maravilhosa, graficamente colorido, tanto na fotografia como nos figurinos, de uma delicadeza apaixonante, uma história triste, roterizada de forma divertida e singela, com uma dose de suspense policial e mistério... Ficcional, mas o queda das armas do avião em Begali foi baseada no Purulia Arms Drop, que ocorreu em 1995... O filme é todo lindo e musical, já que o protagonista além de desastrado e azarado também é gago... Fofo...
