What happens when you are about to give your family a piece of shocking news, but you get one in return? That is what Jug Jugg Jeeyo is about. It talks about the ups and downs of the relationship between a husband and wife.
Relationships of all sorts are very fragile. One must nurture them with love, care, understanding, and respect. Without any of it, the relationships become a burden, leading to unwanted fights and arguments.
While weddings are celebrated in our country and are an event of immense joy, the discussion about divorce makes a big deal among families. It also leads to the famous thinking of ‘Log Kya Kahenge’ (what will people say).
This multi-starrer comedy-drama film talks about divorce but not in a conventional way. Rather than dealing with it as a taboo, it examines the reasons behind reaching such a point in a relationship. But is it worth watching?
