At almost 170 minutes, the film is long, and the fact that the director can have our full attention for every second of it says a lot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Director Atlee and superstar Khan team up to deliver a high stakes, fast-paced action film that packs a punch. Already well established in the Tamil film industry, Jawan marks the director's first foray into mainstream Bollywood, and he nails it.

“Jawan” is such a wild ride, playfully blending genres while also making serious statements on government corruption, greed, class discrimination, and healthcare scandals among other things. It has a little bit of something for everyone.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 20, 2024

At times this sandy earth subsumes the peculiar nature of edgy stories, at other times its languid, unornamented baseline allows characters to hold onto something raw.

Shah Rukh Khan is the whole show in Jawan, his second blockbuster adventure in less than a year.

It is time for Vijay Sethupathi to really deliberate on his choices.

Shah Rukh Khan roars like never before in Jawan, the blockbuster movie event of the year, and reminds the world that the King Khan is still #1!

| Original Score: 10/10 | Oct 27, 2023

After floundering in the dark for years, the superstar seems to have come into his own.

| Oct 16, 2023

Jawan uses a lot of familiar plot devices in these types of lengthy action films about revenge, corruption, and people with secrets. Some of the story's twists could have been handled better, but the performances remain engaging.

| Oct 10, 2023

I love the energy and sincere desire to entertain in every frame and that's the case with Jawan. It's a blast.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 22, 2023

Jawan is a competently crafted, enjoyable movie that showcases Shah Rukh Khan in a crowd-pleasing persona. Although it may lean on some familiar conventions, it remains an imperfect yet commendable choice for fans of mainstream cinema.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2023

Almost three hours long, Jawan never gives rise to boredom, always offering dynamic action or drama. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 15, 2023

Shah Rukh Khan marries personal with political seamlessly in most films, but Jawan isn't one of them.

| Sep 14, 2023

Atlee captures Khan as he ought to be, elevating him to a godlike figure in human form, turning each aspect of his performance right up to its limit, as far as visual language will allow without breaking the entire film.

| Sep 14, 2023

Shah Rukh Khan’s return to Masala filmmaking perfectly showcases his acting talents for the uninitiated.

| Sep 13, 2023

Jawan is the sort of chaotic and earnest …action/thriller/romance/musical that adds just enough purpose and rides high enough on star power to make for a satisfying theatrical experience.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 13, 2023

While fear may have governed Jawan’s handling of political issues, there is not even that excuse for the gender prejudice in its scripting and casting.

| Sep 13, 2023

Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee's messy homage to comic book movies combines the politics of A Wednesday with the theatricality of V for Vendetta.

| Sep 13, 2023

Jawan sees Khan teaming up with Tamil writer and director Atlee in a gloriously convoluted story of family, activism, and revenge. It’s violent, it’s insane, and it’s an absolute rollercoaster.

| Sep 11, 2023

Get yourself into the theaters, exercise those subtitle muscles, and be entertained by the intense and wild ride that is Jawan.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Sep 11, 2023
