All the best guys, JugJugg Jeeyo. (Today’s Friday, which means it’s time to visit theaters. A wonderful film, JugJugg Jeeyo has released. It has great actors—Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Karan Johar and it’s produced by Apoorva Mehta.)

Talking about JugJugg Jeeyo, Varun, Kiara, Anil and Neetu have been praised by the film critics as well. The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “JugJugg Jeeyo is an absolute family entertainer that talks about choosing relationships over selfishness and while doing so, there’s nothing preachy about it. There’s aren’t any vulgar jokes or slapstick humour to infuse laughter and that makes JugJugg Jeeyo a clean comedy drama. Watch it on the big screen for it’s one of those typical commercial potboilers that you call paisa vasool.”
