Critic Review
Bobby Jasoos (2014) The premise first! Bobby [Vidya Balan] hails from a modest neighbourhood of Hyderabad. Her parents [Rajendra Gupta, Supriya Pathak] are keen she gets married, but Bobby is keen to chase her dreams of becoming a detective. She offers to work for a leading detective agency, but when things don't work out, she starts her own detective agency -- Bobby Jasoos P. Ltd. Slowly but surely, the cases start coming in, but the cases are trivial and don't interest her. The story takes a turn when Anees Khan [Kiran Kumar] offers Bobby to trace some missing people. Glad that she has made a beginning, Bobby grabs the offer instantly, but as she starts the investigations, she realizes something is amiss….

Overall, the soundtrack of Bobby Jasoos is quite decent for a whodunit genre and even though there are just five songs in this soundtrack, Shantanu Moitra proves that quality indeed wins over quantity. And also wins special brownie points just for Tu whic.

Like Vidya's multiple disguises, the film's ability to surprise never flags. If Bobby revels in a sense of adventure then the narration doesn't lag behind. You can find flaws in Bobby Jasoos, but you won't hold them against the film. That's a guarantee.

Overall, ‘Bobby Jasoos’ is a good watch because of its incredible performances by the cast and a catchy story line and engaging screenplay though the climax spoils the fun to some extent. Finally, with so many pluses, one can easily excuse small flaws.

After a promising start, the story unnecessarily meanders into a family drama towards the end and you are left wondering where is the detective. But she is busy wiping off her tears with her dupatta..

Bobby Jasoos could have been a crisp, lucid and marvelous film but the overwrought emotional factor got the better out of the story. Plagued by an underwhelming second hour, sloppy editing and a conveniently done hurried climax, the film counts well only .

The director creates a charming world that you are reluctant to get out of, even when the film is over. Now that is an achievement..

Bobby might prove to be a good jasoos, but Bobby Jasoos has no clue about where it is going..

this amiable, light-hearted yarn had more ‘zaika’ and ‘tadka’. And the songs are strictly unnecessary and uninteresting. Post-interval, the surprises leachout. So does the fun.
