 The film starts out light and breezy. The first half coasts along on the strength of the actors’ charm and their chemistry, even the verbal sparring between them delivers many laughs. But post-intermission it slips into a quagmire of pointlessness and repetition before it becomes a complete slog. There is just not enough meat on the bones to keep you invested in the protagonists’ journey, or in their relationship, which feels clumsy and muddled but not in an interesting, honest way.

 OneWordReview... #JabHarryMetSejal: Unimpressive. Good performances... Stunning locales... Bland and boring screenplay... Too many songs. With SRK-Anushka, Imtiaz Ali could've hit the ball out of the park with a solid script. Sadly, he loses this golden opportunity.

 The first half coasts along on charm, small moments and laughter but the film derails in the second. Imtiaz and Shah Rukh coming together should have created a romantic classic. Instead Imtiaz has made his weakest film to date. Jab Harry Met Sejal doesn’t touch your insides. It’s not truthful enough to move you.Which just broke my heart. Because I really wanted to love this film.

 On the whole, Jab Harry Met Sejal has a lovely first half but a very disappointing second half and will, therefore, not be able to appeal to all sections of the audience. While the classes in the cities will find it fairly engaging, the rest of the audience will not be able to connect with the drama and will give the film the thumbs down. In commercial terms, the film will entail losses to the distributors and will go down in box-office history as a losing fare.

 What you need in such films with their flimsy one-line plots, is the magic and mystery of love between two people. And full-blown wonder. All in short supply in Jab Harry Met Sejal, which comes off as a mix of Ali’s older films, in its flashes of Jab We Met, Tamasha and Love Aaj Kal.

 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' has a few genuinely 'cool' encounters between the lovers. But these are too spaced out and too far in-between to engage us in the couple's destined marriage. What clutters the corridors of this posh-looking touristic 'vilaayat-darshan' are the winking flirty exchanges which lead nowhere.A big disappointment for both the fans of Shah Rukh Khan and Imtiaz Ali.They both need to think about what to do next. In separate rooms, please.

 Jab Harry Met Sejal is a film where I wanted to give out few spoilers so you should read and go watch the film. But, I can’t. Take this as a sign and don’t miss this beautiful journey of life with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma.Watch or Not?: Absolutely! Overall this film is something shouldn’t be missed especially by people who digest romantic dramas well.

 The script is wafer-thin and it’s been done to death by none other than Imtiaz Ali in each of his earlier films—be it Jab We Met, Cocktail or the recent Tamasha. It’s the routine girl is engaged elsewhere story but she discovers half-way through the film that she is actually attracted to someone else. In this case, Sejal is engaged to Rupen but actually ends up falling for Harry. What makes this film watchable though is the presence of Shah Rukh and Anushka both of who are in top-form in their Punjabi and Gujarati avatars. In fact, SRK is like old wine, the more he matures, the better he loves. But the chemistry between Anushka and him is not crackling for sure.

 First half: breezy but unabashedly banal. Second half: riddled with toe-curling romantic mush. Sum total: a journey without maps that weaves concentric circles around sweet nothings and empty prittle-prattle. That, in a nutshell, is Imtiaz Ali's perambulatory rom com Jab Harry Met Sejal. It leaves you wishing they hadn't met.Jab Harry Met Sejal is cinema's equivalent of a shiny bauble that glitters wholly in vain. Watch it only if you fancy a vicarious romp through Europe with an off-colour megastar trying hard to get going.

 Jab Harry Met Sejal is a film you want to like but when you see the ‘Babe becoming Babita’ formula repeated yet again, you wonder why a filmmaker, known for his progressive, unusual films succumbs to clichés like this one.I go back to the sublime Rockstar that ended with a Sufi quote - 'Beyond good and bad, there is a field, I will meet you there'. This film espouses the beautiful thought of 'Home is a Person' . Wish the script went beyond these one-liners and took us on a unique journey with a Geet or a Jordan instead of this been-there-done-that European tour.

 If there is anything we know about Imtiaz Ali's love stories, it is that they are not for everyone.'Jab Harry Met Sejal' is shot in the beautiful locations of Prague, Berlin, Holland, Amsterdam. So, while you are lost wondering where the movie is heading, the scenic beauty keeps you hooked. The movie goes through its ebb and flow, and all you can do is enjoy the good bits, till they last.So, if you are a fan of the leading actors or have a Sufi heart, go watch this movie.

 It breaks my heart to write this, but Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, the rakish matinee idol who could romance a stone with an inherent sexiness and suaveness, has become rusty. As far as stories go, there’s not much for the actors to hold on to, but the pair manages to keep us hooked in the first half.But the second half spirals into this cloyingly intense and melodramatic territory.
