gave the film 1 star out of 5, writing ″Emraan tries hard to infuse life in JAWANI DIWANI, but in vain. The actor is capable of much more, but even a sincere performance from him cannot uplift things. Celina shows improvement in dramatic sequences, but needs to work on emotional ones. Hrishitaa doesn't get much scope. Mahesh Manjrekar just doesn't work. He hams throughout. Tiku Talsania is loud. Shehzad Khan does a takeoff on Anu Malik well. On the whole, JAWANI DIWANI cuts a sorry picture. At the box-office, a poor show all the way!″ Vipin Vijayan of
