JugJugg Jeeyo review: An entertaining, emotional story starring the most beautiful people
Varun Dhawan, Kira Advani, Anil Kapoor, and Neetu Kapoor star in JugJugg Jeeyo, a fun family drama.
Everyone in JugJugg Jeeyo is dressed in designer clothes. Blingy jackets, suits, and lehengas are available. Unapologetic Punjabi humor elicits genuine laughter. Every 10 minutes, there’s a song and dance number for every occasion. And all of this with attractive people in each frame. Raj Mehta, who directed Good Newwz (2019), once again brings a group of Punjabis to the screen, this time from Patiala.
The film begins with a childhood love story in school between Kukoo Saini (Varun Dhawan). And Naina Sharma (Kiara Advani), with Naina’s brother Gurpreet (Maniesh Paul) playing the wingman unknowingly. Kukoo proposes to Naina in one scene with a temporary tattoo on his six-pack abs: Will you marry me – Yes or No? Soon after, we are introduced to Kukoo’s Punjabi family — father Bheem (Anil Kapoor), mother Geeta (Neetu Singh). And sister Ginny — through a lavish wedding and song sequence (Prajakta Koli).
Five years later, we learn that Kukoo and Naina. Who now reside in Toronto, Canada, have fallen out of love and are seeking a divorce.
But, one more time, they agree to pretend to be a happily married couple for Ginny’s wedding back home. While the two are considering divorce. They are in for a bigger surprise when senior family members also want out of their imperfect marriage.
JugJugg Jeeyo, too, talks at length about Shaadi ke baad sab badal jaata hai. Still, the treatment appears to be a bit fresh this time. With an attempt to delve deep into how a marriage of 35 years and a marriage of 5 years stand the same fate.
