Suit Kandel wrote, "GIGANTIC BLOCKBUSTER ..#Jawan delivers ENTERTAINMENT IN WHOLESALE QUANTITY WITH A POWERFUL & PERTINENT MESSAGE. #Atlee has written a terrific MASS APPEALING script which is rooted, emotional & inspiring.. In my opinion its his best Directorial till date that would cater to every segment of the audience. He executed high points of the story with excellence, elevation scenes would meet with ELECTRICFYING Response [ #SRK Entry, metro sequence, Chase sequence, Interval & Climax ] are Major Highlights that evokes GOOSEBUMPS especially the Interval Block which as per me is the GREATEST EVER. #ShahRukhKhan showcases as many as 7 looks in the film and nailed it everytime. He plays a messiah who fights for social justice.. He brings tremendous charm, intensity, madness & heroism in his characters that has so many shades. Undoubtedly Jawan is SRK’s most crowd pleasing work till date. He has emerged a TRUE MASS HERO with this film. [ His Father Avataar is BAD A*S ]"
#JawanReview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟( 4.5 )

Did Shah Rukh Khan take a dig at Sameer Wankhede?
Jawan's Trailer was released and fans were quick to notice a dialogue of Shah Rukh Khan and claimed that it was aimed at none other than NCB's former Mumbai zonal director Sameer Wankhede who arrested his son Aryan Khan on alleged drug charges. In Jawan's trailer, SRK was seen saying, 'Bete ko hanth lagane see pehle baap se toh baat kar leta (you should have talked to the father before touching his son)."
For the unversed, Sameer Wankhede is accused of demanding Rs 25 crore bribe from actor Shah Rukh Khan for not framing his son Aryan Khan following alleged seizure of drugs from a cruise ship in October 2021. A team of CBI is investigating the matter. Sameer Wankhede and others accused in the case have been booked on charges of criminal conspiracy and extortion threats under the Indian Penal Code and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act pertaining to bribery. SRK's elder son Aryan Khan and several others were arrested in October 2021 for alleged possession, consumption and trafficking of drugs. Later, Aryan Khan was granted bail by the high court after spending three weeks in jail.
