Jab Harry Met Sejal is a romantic comedy film, which is all about love, life, lies, thrill, fantasy and the search for the voice within. Besides direction, Imtiaz Ali has also written the story and screenplay for the movie, which is produced by SRK's wife Gauri Khan under the banner Red Chillies Entertainment. The film has received a U/A certificate from the censor board and has a runtime of 2 hours 30 minutes.

Sejal (Anushka Sharma) is a Gujarati girl, who is engaged and loses her engagement ring during her Europe trip. She seeks help from tourist guide Harry (Shah Rukh Khan). The two become friends and have some fun moments while searching for the ring. The twist in the tale is that Sejal abruptly leaves for her hometown. Harry is in love with her and follows her. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
The audiences say that Jab Harry Met Sejal deals with a simple and routine romance drama. But director Imtiaz Ali has made the film an interesting watch with some twists and turns. Some romance and comedy scenes keep you engaged in the first half of the film. The second half is also entertaining, but it slow and dragging. The last 30 minutes of the film are treat for you.
Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, who are seen together once again after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, have delivered good performances and the chemistry between the two is the highlight. Aru Krishansh Verma, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Evelyn Sharma, Paras Arora and Sayani Gupta have done justice to their roles, say the viewers.
Made on a budget of Rs 62 crore, Jab Harry Met Sejal has rich production values. The beautiful picturisation, songs, background score, punch lines and exotic locales make the film a visual treat, say the film goes.
We bring you some viewers' verdict on the film shared on Twitter. Here are the live update of Jab Harry Met Sejal movie review and rating by the audience.

#OneWordReview... #JabHarryMetSejal: Unimpressive Good performances... Stunning locales... Bland and boring screenplay... Too many songs. #JHMS: With SRK-Anushka, Imtiaz Ali could've hit the ball out of the park with a solid script. Sadly, he loses this golden opportunity.

Its Interval ... and I give 4* to the 1st Half Of of #JHMS Performances Music & BGM Cinematography/Locations Dialogues everything is This is not typical Imtiaz Ali film till now. and that was expected by trailers. Neverthless , Loved the 1st Half. #JHMS ENTERTAINING !!! #JHMS Story is same that we all have been hearing till now. But let me add , Imtiaz's Screenplay succeeds in Entertaining u till 1st half.@iamsrk has never looked So Handsome before while @AnushkaSharma 's cuteness, Madness and innocence win hearts. Imtiaz has gripped it well. Among Public,Some people r Loving #JHMS & Some r not Loving it.It seems 2nd Half didn't work with them. And this WOM will affect Night Shows

#JabHarryMetSejal has incredibly strong dialog & screenplay. It makes a mockery out of standard romances & flips it over its head. You are left w. a fresh & modern perspective of how u view love & relationships. Classic #ImtiazAli. #JabHarryMetSejal is a delicious watch. @AnushkaSharma is astoundingly convincing as the annoying but endearing 'Sejal'. She makes the character palpable, real, bewitching. @iamsrk as Harry isn't the Shah Rukh Khan u know. He is prickly & irritable & complex. He is an anti-hero, performs this role to perfection.

#JabHarryMetSejal INTERVAL And it's just OUTSTANDING till now. I just enjoyed last 70 minutes. @iamsrk is back with bang in his GAME... #JabHarryMetSejal Completed and it's one of the Best Rom-Com in recent years!! @iamsrk is just phenomenal. He will surely touch your heart. MARK MY WORDS... #JabHarryMetSejal will be a SURE SHOT BLOCKBUSTER. @iamsrk delivers his best performance in recent years!! @RedChilliesEnt All in all, #JabHarryMetSejal is a lovely film that will make you laugh, cry and Fall in love!! Outstanding performance By @iamsrk ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #JabHarryMetSejal is a beautiful film with superb performances by @iamsrk & Anushka. Imtiyaz Ali's direction is V. good, his best after #JWM One thing i don't like in #JabHarryMetSejal was its Screenplay... Few songs placed on wrong timings but Movie is just awesome.

Natasha @AbbeyOyeNatasha
@iamsrk's charm & wit; @AnushkaSharma's gujarati & spunk is simply mindblowing. Totally loved the first half of #JabHarryMetSejal Good one.
Nikhil Taneja @tanejamainhoon
First half of #JabHarryMetSejal done. Ticks off every romcom check box super well. Amazing chemistry. @AnushkaSharma is the HIGHLIGHT. Fun! There's not much of a story so far but the chemistry carries the film & the first half goes by like a breeze.Hope plot moves in second half. Second half :(. .@AnushkaSharma is such a delight in screen in every movie I see her in. There's not one false or dishonest note in her acting. LOVE her!
Rohit Jaiswal @rohitjswl01
1st Half of #JabHarryMetSejal is GOOD.. RYT NOW @AnushkaSharma takes over @iamsrk Performance wise.. SHE IS TERRIFIC.... Inspyt top performance by @iamsrk @AnushkaSharma #JabHarryMetSejal future is DARK this Film nly needed ENTERTAINMENT unfortunately it LACKS I understand the feelings nd Sentiment of all @iamsrk Fans...But truth is #JabHarryMetSejal is not a Good film Will not a Successful film.. I give 1* to #JabHarryMetSejal.... I feel bad coz performance by both @iamsrk and @AnushkaSharma is Brilliant... But Direction 3rd CLASS #JabHarryMetSejal TOTALLY DISSAPOINTING 1st Half Good, 2nd Half soo bad that ur bound to leave theatre
Sumit kadel @SumitkadeI
#JabHarryMetSejal First Half-very good.. Funny & Intense .. @iamsrk @AnushkaSharma performance Fantastic.. Till interval 3.5*5 .. Second half very weak till now.. #JabHarrymetSejal #JabHarrymetSejal Imtiaz ali messed up the second half.. absolutely no emotion.. very weak screenplay.. il go with 2* out of 5*.. 2/5 There is no punjab. No background ground story of harry in the film.. very bad story & screenplay ..Srk fans will be disappointed too #JHMS Watch #JabHarrymetSejal for the performance of SRK & Anushka sharma.. Film offers nothing else.. 2*5*. All the best to the team.
Tareque Laskar @tarequelaskar
Halfway into #JabHarryMetSejal and so far so breezy. Anushka's Gujarati accent needs a bit of work though. SRK in his element.
Anurag @Ranbir_Srk
#JHMS is worth watching watch it for brilliance of @AnushkaSharma and the romantic @iamsrk i loved it's second half more #JabHarryMetSejal
