Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma's 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', directed by Imtiaz Ali, has received negative reviews from critics and audience alike.
The Bollywood romcom has drawn flak from reviewers who have called the film mushy and churned out from the same oven having typical 'SRK romance' and bereft of any storyline.
The two-hour-twentyfour-minute film revolves around the two characters and how Sejal (Anushka Sharma) bumps into tour-guide Harry (Shah Rukh Khan) and together they set off visiting the exact same spots that she and her family visited -- in the hope of finding her lost engagement ring.
Some Twitter users wished Harry hadn't met Sejal at all!
Here are some reactions of people who aren't pleased with the film:
People are saying that first half is good but second half is very bad, can't say if Jab Harry met Sejal or SRK's career.

I want to file case against director of this movie. Unbearable , torture
Shame on u @iamsrk buddhe
Its interval while watching #jhms #JabHarryMetSejal and it is boring. Movie is going nowhere. If tamasha was bad, this is worse .

Disappointed with the screenplay so far. Srk's presence is not used that well. #JabHarryMetSejal

#JabHarrymetSejal. I am a diehard SRKian but have to admit SRK need to be selective in Scripts. Disappointing stuff. 1.5*/5. Imtiaz sucks

#JabHarryMetSejal horribly gone wrong.Poor music,Poor direction and screenplay glitch.Anushka over d top performance makes it Unwatchable!
