Dharma Productions is known for their rich family drama and have made many in the past but I have to say Jug Jug Jeeyo is not as good as many film of the same genre from their own production house but is just decent.
This film is about a family with a looming threat of two divorces and what drama follows to get things right is all this film is about.
First of all, I saw many people getting jealous of the glamour in this film. If you are having problems with that, it's simply cuz you are poor . Dharma productions never really shows middle class families and if you are new to watching films, please make a note of it instead of criticising .
Next, talking of the execution. The film definitely shines at places and definitiely falls flat at many places. The humor or comedy parts is where it falls apart. Raj Mehta 's previous venture Good News was far more humorous than this. Some jokes work, many don't. In some serious scenes, i felt Manish Paul interfering often was nagging. The place where this film shines is when there is serious conversations or fights between characters.
Other than that, there a few songs in this film which I felt mostly were good but won't be remembered in a long run unlike Dharma productions 2nd last venture SherShaah.
Performances. Varun Dhawan genuinely shines in serious roles. I think this dude should do less of comedy and more of these serious roles because he can perform well as he has in serious roles in October and Badlapur. Kiara Advani is decent too. The real show stealers are Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. Neetu Kapoor in the temple scene and her scene with Kiara was fantastic while Anil dominates the entire film. Manish Paul is an unnecessary addition while Prajakta has nothing much to do.
Overall, a decent one time watch. Easily this can be watched with your family as there are no vulgar scenes and all.
