Pooja Meri Jaan movie review: what critics say (9)
What critics say Critics are divided: none of the 9 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 2 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the performances, the script and the pacing.
Good intentions do not always a good film make: the promise is belied by the treatment, and the film stays mostly on the surface.
Read the full reviewDespite some choppy plot points, the film always holds attention and is a must-watch, especially in the current social climate.
Read the full reviewThe film lacks the courage to stay in the grey zone for long. Instead, it eventually opts for a convenient resolution, diluting some of the complexity it so carefully built up.
Read the full reviewPooja Meri Jaan is a one-time watch. On paper, it looks good, but the final result does not do justice to the subject and the story.
Read the full reviewPooja Meri Jaan deserves credit for tackling rejection, obsession and social judgment from a less conventional perspective.
Read the full reviewOverall, Pooja Meri Jaan is decent watch that works until it doesn't. The film starts off well and keeps you engaged but eventually leaves you with a bitter-sweet feeling.
Pooja Meri Jaan audience rating and reviews
How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
