Vinnil Markan's 'Jayantabhai Ki Love Story' is A Light-Hearted Rom-Com, that doesn't disappoint. Its never boring nor is it ever remotely legendary, its quite simply, a smooth one-time watch.

'Jayantabhai Ki Love Story' Synopsis: A down-on-her luck girl falls in love with her neighbor, who happens to be a gangster.

Kiran Kotrial's Screenplay is breezy & enjoyable at most parts. The first-hour is good, but the second-hour could've been stronger, especially the final 20-minutes. Vinnil Markan's Direction is impressive. Cinematography is excellent. Editing is okay. Art & Costume Design are fair. Music by Sachin-Jigar is fabulous.

Performance-Wise: Vivek Oberoi excels as the protagonist. The talented actor plays the lovable-gangster with effortless ease. Neha Sharma suits the part perfectly & performs ably. The on-screen chemistry of Vivek-Neha is exciting. Zakhir Hussain is first-rate, as always. Nassar hams.

On the whole, 'Jayantabhai Ki Love Story' is worth a watch.

You need to remember one thing if you're gonna watch this movie, and that is- you can't take it too seriously.

Some weird stuff happens. And the ending is somewhat...nonsensical.

But can you enjoy this movie despite all that? YES.

If you don't care too much about what's happening exactly why and are just looking to have a good time and quite a few laughs, this movie is definitely worth a watch.

As I've already said, story wise it's not much.

But the movie looks good. Colorful, cute.

It's lighthearted and fun most of the time.

Vivek Oberoi is very, very endearing as Jayanta Bhai.He looks good and does excellently. Neha Sharma looks glamorous. Her performance might not be Oscar-worthy, but it's not too bad either.

And their chemistry is really good.

The songs are excellent.

Some dialogues will definitely make you laugh.

To sum up, this movie is nowhere near perfect, but for a one time watch, don't overthink, just go with this.

Score 4/10 Concept of love between an illiterate Bhai( Goon) and an educated girl was interesting but after development it couldn't come in interesting way. Director Mr. Vinnil Markan was confused to handle the concept. Writer Mr. Kiran Kotrial failed to churn out an interesting script from an interesting idea. Story is so so. Scenes are not innovative or new. Only dialogues enhance it sometimes. Dialogues are almost good. Most of scenes would have fallen flat without the dialogues. There is a love making scenes, one kissing scene and some fight scenes, which do not come convincingly. All looks very forced, just to lure a particular section of audience. Neither their presentation are good not their situations are convincing. Characterization is bad. Vivek Obrai as Jayantabhai ,sometimes becomes a serious goon and sometimes a comical Fattu type of common person. No logic for his oscillation. He does not mind doing fight in a corporate house but very scared when he comes in a Police station. Just before climax they show that an interview is very important to the Simaran (Neha Sharma) while it was just like an usual interview not a appointment letter. Then why do the all things happen. Climax is literally boring. Performance wise Vivek Obrai is OK. Neha Sharma is fairly good. Zakir Hussain as Altaf Bhai, Nasser as Alex and Rahul Singh as Dutta are fine. Music by Sachin –Jigar has one good track, "Piya na mane mera jiya.."

This is a scene by scene (even most of the dialogs are mere translation) of the amazingly good Korean film "My Dear Desperado" (2010) and as the creators don't acknowledge the original it is ultimately a product of piracy. While the original movie is delightfully funny and moving, the Indian remake is a watered down, amateurishly stupid version. Vivek Oberoi is miscast and has limited range, Neha Sharma is beautiful but lacks spontaneity. Surprisingly the original Korean film comes closer to Indian ethos than this Mumbai based rip. The director has tried to force certain original settings and sequences in to Indian context and it comes as forced and unreal. The script writer's only original contribution seems to be insertion of some forgettable song and dance sequences in to the story.

Watching the Korean original with English subtitles is highly recommended.

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story is a sweet little movie which one should enjoy with one family. Nothing extraordinary except the prose that might make you laugh.

Vivek & Neha succeed at the beginning to create some chemistry between them,. And the plot starts to develop just like a balloon. Yes, there are hundred of illogical sequences but, it also has some great laughs. Provided you are not too serious about cinema. But, then after the interval, things fall apart and I feel bad about it. I enjoyed the first part more than I did the second part.

Story is straightforward, screenplay is pathetic, direction is cool & performances are great. I think Vivek should stop doing such movies (KLPD) and get into mainstream cinema. Neha Sharma is hot, but lacks charisma. Her expressions are wooden & the supporting people did well, too!

Pretty nice songs & overall, an average flick. For being a critic, I can give it no more than 4 because it lacks substance, strong humor, screenplay, logic or invention.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Language: Mediocre | Sex & Nudity: No | Violence: Strong | Gore: Strong | Smoking & Alcohol: Strong

Jayantabhai ki love story was badly panned by critics..After watching it i failed to understand that why was it critically trashed.

Neha Sharma is at her best.Seriously i have never seen a young actress who has just done a movie or two act like this.She looks gorgeous and does her job with elegance.Her expressions,dialogue delivery will impress anybody who watches this flick.

Vivek oberoi is impressive.He portrays role of a small local gangster with a blend of comic,serious and emotive touch in his character..He too did full justice to it.

Critics i want to ask you what more do you expect from a local gangster who is like any other ordinary simple human being by heart..

Some scenes are really enjoyable.It could have been better if there were more twists and turns in the love story.Everything else is fine.It has everything(comedy,action,emotions,romance and a message)..

So don't think twice.Just go and watch it for Neha and Vivek. I rate it 6 out of 10

After watching Dhoom3 in the morning I came home disappointed. Switch on my TV and found "Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story" running as free movie of day by cable operator. Really disappointed, thinking what worse can happen I planned to watch this movie. This movie was not new that time but I knew reviews are really really bad. As expected this movie is rom-com but was surprised there was no dull moment in this movie. Story show chemistry between lead actor and actors, but it also shows struggle in their respective career. Movie is really sweet with very little action, all the actors did really superb job. I will not regret by saying, In this movie Vivek Oberoi is much better then Amir Khan in Dhoom3.

Believe it or not I watch this movie three times continuously that day, as it was running continuously on cable operator's movie channel, without advertisements and I didn't have anything better to do.

This movie made me realize, now a day media decide which movie we should watch on theater and which not.

Too entertaining movie. Vivek oberoi kill it all scenes ......, must watch movie. Songs are too romantic. Funny romantic action mix masaalaa movie. Atif aslam songs are superb.

This is one of vivek's best movies in the recent years (2010....). He has showed that he is always rocking in his "gunda-attire"... he stole the movie in Company, won everyone's heart with the heartless gangster Maya Dolas and shows his comedy-villain role in JKLS. He's just AJIT KHAN of the new age!!! Love you Vivuuu!

It's perfect for young guys who are Munna Bhai lovers or Vivek Oberoi lovers.

I wish these 2 actors get more work. They are awesome and natural in the movie. Pretty entertaining.
