Average Reviews
2.5 "The first half appears to go nowhere and when the cards are opened just post interval, you know the predictable route the film is going to take"
- Indya.com
2.5 "is like one big song and dance of a movie where the story, a daft one at that, is purely incidental"
- Rediff 2

- Mumbai Mirror
2.0 "When a film flies too high on fantasy, it has to fall. And Jhoom… fell flat"
- Express India
2.0 "There simply is no spin in the tale. End result? The bechara viewer keeps waiting — and waiting — to jhoom. To no avail"
- Times Of India
2.0 "The point is to attempt an unrestrained, multi-colour, multi-song, multi-dream-sequence, willfully brain-dead "blockbuster". That's what this is"
- NDTV
2.0 "only mildy amusing"
- BBC Films
2.0 "Director Shaad Ali disappoints, the writer botches up the plot and the cast doesn’t do much to rise above the glitzy morass they are caught up in"
- Screen India
2.0 "a huge disappointment"
- Hindustan Times
2.0 "There is style. And then there is caricature. And when the latter overtakes the former all the cleverness of the characters and the situations they find themselves in, fall flat"
- DNA India
2.0 "a roller coaster ride, which is nonsensical yet entertaining at times"

- IBN Live
2.0 "For technical brilliance, this movie is a hit. But that extra something, which makes the movie extra special, is missing"

- IndiaFM
1.5 "has nothing to offer but eye-candy"
- Rediff
1.5 "What you get is huge disappointment in the end"
- Smash Hits
1.5 "Nothing barabar about this Jhoom . It is spin that can take its toll on your head"
