What happens when the King of romance and the director who’s known for romantic movies like “Love Aaj Kal” and “Jab We Met” collaborate?
Shah Rukh Khan and Imtiaz Ali came together for the first time to bring us “Jab Harry Met Sejal” (It was previously called “The Ring” ). The film hit theatres today and is about all the love and romance that springs up between Harry (SRK) and Sejal (Anushka Sharma) as they both travel across Europe in search of Sejal’s engagement ring (Now we know why it was called “The Ring!”)
As always, people on Twitter, whether fans or critics, had a lot to say about the film. Let’s take a look at how Harry and Sejal’s meeting faired with the audience.
Late Thursday night, Shah Rukh Khan tweeted:
Happy viewing to all those who r watching #JHMS in parts of the world. Apna Dil saath leke jaana. My lov to u all. pic.twitter.com/c3lPyeIhWo

Twitter is proof that whether you like it or not, the film is the talk of the town today.
The critics didn’t like it so much
#OneWordReview…#JabHarryMetSejal: Unimpressive
Good performances… Stunning locales… Bland and boring screenplay… Too many songs— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 4, 2017
#JabHarryMetSejal is not for Families. It's boring and not at all entertaining. You can sleep for every 10 mins. NOT AT ALL ENTERTAINING

REVIEW: #JabHarryMetSejal is weak, meandering and by far #ImtiazAli's worst film. Read @ReelReptile's take here: https://t.co/xDHE3UBEZV pic.twitter.com/wPRy0l4k6Z

KRK’s mandatory hate seems constant as well
#JHMS is one of the most Wahiyat film of SRK till date. Dilwale, Raees, Fan are Sholay compare to this crap. So 1* to this waste of time!

Now it's final that #JHMS will be a flop n it's SRK's 6th flop in row during last 4Yrs. So it's end of the road 4him to reach to @aamir_khan

But, the fans don’t care one bit
Ufff! #JabHarrryMetSejal is beautiful ✨ A visually stunning tale that unfolds on the big screen like pure magic. You need to experience it!

#JabHarryMetSejal has incredibly strong dialog & screenplay. It makes a mockery out of standard romances & flips it over its head.
