Each one of them had a role that was performed par excellence. #VidyaBalan & #ShefaliShah didn't over shadow each other. #vidhartibandi definitely the one to watch out for." while another wrote, "The writing of #Jalsa - the setting of sparse wide spaces (intelligent filming during 2ndwave), the shining filmmaking, layers of emotions which affect a seemingly perfect life. Guilt at the root of it all. The more I’m away from the film the more I know of it.@Abundantia_Ent".

Add on to this, a good music & BGM#JalsaOnPrime #VidyaBalan #ShefaliShah #JalsaReview pic.twitter.com/FZc7UNLcmU
#Jalsa easily one of the best ethical dramas I have seen to come out of Hindi cinema. The value system of Maya is so starkly different from @vidya_balan, it sure must have been a task to commit to the character. @ShefaliShah as always is great. Hard hitting. Must watch.

Chiller Thriller! #Jalsa is POWERFUL in every dept, every scene & emotion counts. The bestest version of @Vidya_Balan (every nerve of her body is Maya Menon💯) @ShefaliShah_ as always, surpasses her last work (Ruksana was scary throughout) BGM & Climax are the stars. Watch it🔥👍 pic.twitter.com/sLVlSskHCr
