Director Raj Mehta’s professionally packaged comedy hits all the bright, wacky notes, just don’t expect anything more than sheer daftness
After the monumental success of Pathaan, something a little more low-rise. Director Raj Mehta has emerged as Bollywood’s best-placed continuity candidate, landing one of the industry’s last pre-pandemic hits with 2019’s babymaking romp Good Newwz, before resuming with post-lockdown marital farce Jug Jugg Jeeyo. His latest expands upon the 2019 Malayalam hit Driving Licence, with its copper-bottomed premise: a movie star is driven nuts by the superfan schooling him in three-point turns. Another broad, sitcom-bright crowdpleaser, prone to abusing the wacky sound effect button, this latest Mehta comedy has nevertheless been packaged with a professionalism that’s hard to deny.
Crucially, Mehta gets his script right. Regular scribe Rishhabh Sharrma ensures this feud, between unsmiling action hero Vijay Kumar (Akshay Kumar) and moustachioed jobsworth Om Prakash Agarwal...

Jugjugg Jeeyo
Starring AnilKapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani.Prajakta Kohli, Maniesh Kohli
Directed by Raj Mehta
Wed and wild. It’s the Saini side up. The Saini family’s daughter Ginny(Prajakta Kohli) is getting married. But her father and brother are busy trying to sort out their own bedroom tragedies.Papa Bheem Saini (Anil Kapoor)and beta Kukoo(Varun Dhawan) want to divorce their respective wives.
Which seems a pity considering how sorted and lovely the wives, played by Neetu Kapoor and Kiara Advani seem to be. But this is not their story. This is story of a father, the son and their unholy dost, played by scenestealer Manish Paul. Every time Paul is on the prowl he takes over the screen.
There is an instantly amusing slightly risque sequence where Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani are about to make love after months of silent warring. Manish...
