Jubilee review: Sidhant Gupta delivers star-making performance
Hindustan TimesOverstretched and extra filmy, there is enough to complain about in Vikramaditya Motwane's Jubilee. There have been long series with longer episodes in the past as well but in Jubilee's case, its slow burn quality doesn't help its case. It meanders far and wide to the pastures of filmmaking in post-Independence India, star-making film studios, a refugee from Pakistan dreaming big, a sex worker finding new opportunities, and somehow, even Russians and Americans warring for clout in India. Jubilee begins with Roy Talkies head honcho Srikant Roy finding the perfect man to launch as their next superstar, Madan Roy. With his sugar-coated voice, stunning looks and charisma that is rarely seen in anyone's first few acting jobs, Sidhant shows great promise.
