Critic Reviews

Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
The deliriously exhilarating twenty-minute dance climax plays like an open dare to the audience to not jhoom, barabar, jhoom--and only the most severe of grumps won't succumb to the spell of the siren song.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Now that's entertainment.
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
It would be a spoiler to describe the specific complications those crazy kids get into, but it's a ball.
David Chute, L.A. Weekly
Flirtatious repartee between glamorous stars in travel-poster international locations; a gratifyingly simple plot with puzzles and sleight-of-hand surprises; and, at regular intervals, outbursts of gaudy, energetic dancing infectiously exploding.
Jason Ferguson, Orlando Weekly
Jhoom is an empty, frivolous and thoroughly calculating bit of fluff; it's also ridiculously enjoyable.
Poonam Joshi, BBC
While the humour is at times contrived, the curiosity factor and the slick style keeps you engaged.

Great movie. Amitabh Bachchan and Preity Zinta are great in this movie. Intriguing story plot that centralizes around a fascinating love story theme, a chance meeting like none other, that one would see a very slight resemblance to "Before Sunrise." Chance Encounters.… More
Great movie. Amitabh Bachchan and Preity Zinta are great in this movie. Intriguing story plot that centralizes around a fascinating love story theme, a chance meeting like none other, that one would see a very slight resemblance to "Before Sunrise." Chance Encounters. Abhishek Bachchan guest appears in this comedic/romantic movie. An interesting movie, great music.
