It also stars Anil Kapoor, Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Koli among others. The film revolves around a couple seeking divorce unless they discover that their father wants to divorce their mother too.
News18 Showsha’s review of the movie reads, “The film does have problems. Some jokes seem like old WhatsApp forwards, even though they would induce laughter. But one would want to overlook it as Jugjugg Jeeyo provides wholesome entertainment. Jugjugg Jeeyo will make you laugh, cry and join the characters on the emotional roller coaster. The film is thoroughly entertaining, and paisa wasool, and you should definitely give it a watch.”
