Jalebi is remake of a Bengali movie Praktan. It is a love story of a joyful guide Dev Mathur and a bubbly girl Aisha Pradhan who is a writer. This story is about the two of them falling in love with each other, getting married and parting ways.

The story revolves around Aisha(Rhea Chakraborty) who is divorced and finding the meaning of life after being left by her ex husband(Varun Mitra) and is still melancholic of the fact that Dev, her ex-husband (Varun Mitra)never truly loved her. And one day she comes across Dev’s new wife Anu, and their 7 year old daughter. She becomes depressed and miserable as she comes to know about it. It’s a must watch for everyone who have loved and lost. I guess everyone who faced despair in love can relate to it.

One dialogue from the movie became really famous and heart touching, that was- “Unse mohabbat kamaal ki hoti hai, jinka milna muqaddar mein nahi hota“.

The acting done by both the actors was impeccable. The chemistry between them was truly appreciable. The songs were soothing and relatable. All the songs had wonderful lyrics and music. The supporting actors also did a wonderful job. The screenplay of the movie will keep you hooked on to it till the end. The critics didn’t like the movie too much, but I loved it!! I must say Magnificent actors, magnificent movie, magnificent songs and everything wonderfully amazing. A 5/5 movie for me.
