Reception
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and stated that "A quick, illicit getaway for the four pals turns into a light-hearted caper which includes a murder, a bunch of kooky cops, and intrigue."[15] Anuj Kumar of The Hindu observed that "Swara Bhasker aces the part of a housewife who has been reduced to a maid by her husband and in-laws, but the well-intentioned film fails to do justice to its strong female cast."[16] Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and said that "The concept of friends travelling together to have some thrill in life is not novel, but given that the film focusses on desi naaris and their pakki dostis, a lot of entertainment was expected, but it falls short in every way."[17]
Anna MM Vetticad of Firstpost commented that "Swara Bhasker, Shikha Talsania, Meher Vij and Pooja Chopra are proven talents who elevate their scenes above the evident failings of this film." [18] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare gave 3 stars out of 6 and said that "Jahaan Chaar Yaar is a film with strong feminist vibes and carries good performances, it does falter on execution, especially in the second half. The film is a mixed bag for sure, and let’s hope its message finds an audience."[19] Sonil Dedhia of News 18 rated it 3/5 stars and said that "If you go in without any expectations, Jahaan Chaar Yaar is a decent attempt and would pass muster."[20]
Sukanya Verma of rediff.com rated it 1.5/5 stars and call it a "A silly flick that wants to say something meaningful in the support of women's empowerment yet can't resist being flippant at every given opportunity." [21] Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph observed that "What the film misses is a mature handling of the issues. Director Kamal Pandey walks on the treaded path, denying us a fresh perspective on problems we are all familiar with." [22] Pallabi Dey of OTT Play rated it 1.5/5 stars and said that "The script of Jahaan Chaar Yaar is—it pains me to say this—utterly horrendous."[23]
