Bobby Jasoos
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The director creates a charming world that you are reluctant to get out of, even when the film is over. Now that is an achievement.
-
...a rare clean, fun, mainstream entertainer that an entire family could watch together.
-
It's a delightful caper with a lot of heart, and you root for both the film and it's protagonist all the way till the end.
-
It’s a delectable biryani masterfully prepared, and full of subtle flavours and heart.
-
...a clever and joyful film.
-
If you can keep the disappointment of a half-baked climax aside, Bobby Jasoos is a cute family film with a compelling story, superb performances and a lot of heart.
-
Watch if for the firecracker that is Vidya Balan. Now only if she had solved the case of the missing plot!
-
End of the day, Bobby Jasoos is fun-filled entertainment. It suffers a bit with shoddy execution and writing. But it’s nothing an expert like Vidya can’t handle.
-
Bad songs, bad subplots, shabby direction make Bobby Jasoos a very, very confused film that is slightly better than a bearable watch only because of the strong heroine and the talented cast.
-
...harnesses the classic tropes of melodrama—coincidences, conflicts, the perfect resolution—to deliver a feel-good fairy tale of a remarkably mobile heroine who gets up and leaves whenever she feels like.
-
...may not be evenly engaging, but it stays uncompromisingly true to its essence.
-
...I wish this amiable, light-hearted yarn had more ‘zaika’ and ‘tadka’.
-
A case of too many sub-stories spoil the movie.
-
It needed more humor and more meat, but Vidya Balan comes out tops again.
-
A feel good entertainer that chips a few clichés off the Bollywood rock.
-
...a low-key charmer...
-
The Charminar, Ramzan, Iftaari, Id, food...all help in building up an atmosphere that’s more delicious than the suspense itself. In fact, there’s hardly any mystery at the heart of Bobby Jasoos and the tepid climax proves to be very disappointing.
-
For all the fun that Vidya is, Bobby Jasoos ends up a bit too abrupt -- in the end, we don't know if Bobby eventually became a jasoos. We also don't know what happened to the Ali-Vidya love story.
-
...has an interesting premise, but the writing plays the spoilsport.
-
The idea of Bobby Jasoos is good but the execution is not! The script is full of loopholes and is very predictable.
-
What works for Bobby Jasoos is the casting, what pulls it down is its writing.
-
After a promising start, the story unnecessarily meanders into a family drama towards the end and you are left wondering where is the detective. But she is busy wiping off her tears with her dupatta.
-
The film boasts of an interesting premise and an in-form Vidya Balan, but a weak third act plays spoilsport.
-
Despite nailing its sociocultural context, this mildly entertaining film is uneventful.
