Shahid Kapoor’s last film was ‘Kabir Singh’ which despite a lot of controversies was a massive success. 3 years later, Shahid is back with ‘Jersey’, a Hindi adaptation of the Telugu film with the same title directed by Gawtam Tinnanuri. The story revolves around a man who used to be a professional cricketer. After having left cricket for 10 years, he is on a mission to get back into the field for his son.
Alongside Shahid Kapoor (who plays Arjun) are the stunning Mrunal Thakur (who plays Arjun’s wife) and Pankaj Kapur (Arjun’s coach). In case you missed the trailer, have a look at it here:
As ‘Jersey’ has hit theatres today after several delays in the past, reviews by people who have watched the movie have surfaced on Twitter. So, if you’re planning to watch the film, have a look at these tweets first:
#JERSEY is a heart-warming & lovely family entertainer. @shahidkapoor delivers one of his best acts ever. @mrunal0801 is fantastic and looks so lovely. #PankajKapoor saab is excellent. This one deserves your love and appreciation. Liked it a lot. #JerseyReview

South Indian actor @NameisNani played his role in Jersey way better than Shahid Kapoor.
This remake doesn't give a original vibe,if you've already seen it in Telugu.#JerseyReview #JerseyMovie pic.twitter.com/VggEvpgLmT— 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒖𝒔🇵🇸 (@Playbowled) April 21, 2022
#JerseyReview :
Nothing but a simple copy paste. Those who have liked the original will kike this one too, and those who found the orginal faulty, will remain constant. I couldn't connect to Nani's film, so it's obvious. But #ShahidKapoor & #MrunalThakur are FAB.RATING – 5/10*

Jersey is a culmination of many genres clubbed into one, but it doesn't feel overstuffed. It delves into deeper emotions without ever providing its protagonist with a victim card.#JerseyReview #ShahidKapoor #JerseyMovie #MrunalThakur #

.#JerseyReview: More than sports, #Jersey highlights relationships between father-son, husband-wife and player-coach. That lends a beautiful depth to the film. #ShahidKapoor delivers one of his best performances. However, the film's length goes against it.https://t.co/Qk1QoaN6Bg
