THE WEEK's review of Jawan said that “the film takes up real issues that are timely and relevant and sends across a strong political message that makes it a film rooted to the times.”
“Three and a half hours of Jawan offers full entertainment and more. There are takeaway lessons, advice, emotions, humour, dance and loads of drama. Beyond that, there's loads and loads of Shah Rukh Khan, two of them actually; yet, not an overdose. Jawan is the kind of film you watch and forget about where you are and what time it is. This is the kind of movie that offers escapism at its best,” added the review. Read the full review HERE.
