Jawan has been equally adept at impressing the critics as well. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film a 3.5 star rating in his review for NDTV and he wrote, "SRK carries off the onerous task with such phenomenal panache that one barely notices when one entity gives way to the other. The narrative is never in danger of losing its balance even as the performer and the character shorten the distance between them."
