"Surprise party sune ho?" If not, well, then you are in for a surprise and no prizes for guessing what that surprise is. As the name suggests, the premise of the story is about eligible bachelors in Bihar who are forcefully married to girls who can't afford to pay dowry. The story builds up with a young Abhay Singh (Sidharth Malhotra) and Babli Yadav's (Parineeti Chopra) love for each other - the innocence and purity portrayed in that love is touching.
Babli is, however, separated from Abhay when her parents shift base to another city. Later, the fearless Babli gains infamy for beating her boyfriend black and blue, which is telecast on a television channel. This, in turn, leads to a situation where nobody wants to marry her. Babli completes her education from the city and returns to Bihar to live with her father Duniyalal, played by the dynamic Sanjay Mishra. His character as Duniyalal won't disappoint you even for a second. The father-daughter duo's bitter-sweet relationship is fun to watch.
Sidharth Malhotra as Abhay does justice with his persona. From his lingo to his dress sense, from his mannerisms to the way he chews betel leaves, he plays a Bihari effortlessly. When it comes to Parineeti Chopra as Babli, she's done a decent job of playing a fierce Bihari girl.
The other actors are the life of this film. Jaaved Jaaferi is the perfect political personality, who drags his son into the wedding mess - the chaos of 'Jabariya Shaadi'. There's another surprise element in the film, actor Sharad Kapoor, who is best remembered for playing Prakash in the film Josh (2000). Aparshakti Khurana (Santosh Pathak) won our heart with his cute act; he plays the perfect friend to Babli and secretly loves her with everything he's got.

When it comes to the soundtrack, the film's Punjabi songs against a Bihari backdrop will leave you confused. Khadke Glassy is a great party number but it looked like a misfit, as did Ki Honda Pyaar. No doubt, the songs are great, but they didn't do much for this film.

The film has its fair share of comedy and also a dash of romance. As a whole, Jabariya Jodi is a feel-good film; a movie you won't mind watching once.
