Jugjugg Jeeyo opened in theatres on Friday. It has been directed by Raj Mehta, and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
The film opened to mixed reviews from film critics. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and he wrote: "Anil Kapoor in the guise of a man who takes too much for granted is able to convey a streak of recklessness and bouts of emotional blackouts with equal felicity. The younger actors around him, as always, are hard-pressed to keep up with him. Full marks to Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani and Prajakta Kohli for trying."
