Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 06/07/2019
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom's lack of a plot is exacerbated by the oh-no-not-that-again feeling. Go to Full Review Anil Sinanan The Times (UK) 10/24/2017
It's bolly-fluff, fitfully funny in places but it is time to deport this NRI escapism back to Bollywood. Go to Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook 05/04/2015
2/4
The best thing about Jhoom is Delhi thespian Piyush Mishra as Abhishek's sidekick. He effortlessly chews up everything and everyone when on screen. If you want to go for Jhoom watch it only for him. Go to Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India 05/04/2015
This one might just end up as the great summer let-down. Go to Full Review Khalid Mohamed Hindustan Times 05/04/2015
2/5
Only about 10 minutes of this 14-reeler add up to entertainment -- and that is the splashy, kitschy title dance number rambunctiously choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 08/19/2007
3/4
The deliriously exhilarating twenty-minute dance climax plays like an open dare to the audience to not jhoom, barabar, jhoom--and only the most severe of grumps won't succumb to the spell of the siren song. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ahmed M 06/06/2016 Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is an interesting and entertaining movie, but could've been written better, and could've made it much better. See more 03/16/2015 I absolutely love this Movie from start to finish. Its one of my 100% fav Movie. See more 01/01/2014 "Sway This Way" is another Hindi romcom. "In spite of the energetic performances, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom's Bollywood take on Brit-Asian culture is only mildy amusing." I stopped watching after the lame dream sequence that involved going to the Taj Mahal every year until they died. Song and dance number about a ticket to Hollywood? See more 06/22/2012 I do not understand so much of this movie, but I like particularly one of his videos. His action begins in a train and has a grade of romance. See more 12/23/2011 I think I enjoyed the film that this could have been rather than the one it ended up being. Lara Dutta is a hoot! See more 07/31/2011 It took me 3 installments to watch this movie, even though the visuals and locations are incredible. Why? because of the predictable and cliched story. The music is great, and I would've liked a more variety of songs, instead of the theme song being played in 4 different versions. The humor is very desi in my humble opinion. Other movies try to cater a little bit more to foreign audiences, while this one is very desi with a majority of white extras, including groups of Western people roaming around Punjab, which I thought was very interesting. Even the limousine driver was white, ha what an irony. It just doesn't get more cheesy than this, including the Bachchan's participation which made it feel like a family video. I also had reservations about the choreography in the dance off, many parts of it seems very square and edgy, or maybe the actors are not such good dancers, I am not sure, but they all four seemed a little stiff. Overall, it is ok, the songs, locations, and pretty cars make it good enough for giving it a chance without such high expectations. See more Read all reviews
