Manoj Bajpai justifies his subdued character with perfection.....However, Jail is worth watch for those who crave a realistic tone.....Jail, too is embroidered with perfect performances from young actors Arya Babbar and Rahul Singh.....has only three songs but blends beautifully with the storyline..... ...

Manoj Bajpai is fantastic in his scenes with Neil.....To sum up, Jail works mainly due to Bhandarkar's direction and Neil's fabulous performance..... ... Full Review

The only saving grace of the film is Manoj Bajpai, who delivers a fine performance.....What the film lacks is good research and a strong screenplay, which is loose in most places.....Performance wise, Mugdha Godse has very little to do.....Dialogues are weak, and characters appear to be one-sided and spineless..... ...

From "Jail", one expected a gritty, hard-hitting and thought-provoking drama.....It is Parag's tale that succeeds in keeping the audience watching.....Yes, the film shocks but more due to the emotional turmoil....Arya Babbar, who till now was struggling in Bollywood, comes up with his best performance so far..... ...

There are some strong supporting performances particularly Manoj Bajpai and to some extent Aarya Babbar , characters who create an aura of dread and foreboding .....In Madhur 's impressive oeuvre Jail won't rank as high as Page 3 or Fashion..... ... Full Review

Naturally, the young actor has been laying his hands over exceptional flicks from his very beginning of career.....Technically, the film lacks the rich musical fiesta that was very much prevalent in Madhur's 'Fashion'.....Don't ever presume this flick to be a usual prison drama of protagonist thrown behind the bars, fight against the odd things....while Arya Babbar is a best actor to watch out in town.....Maybe, it's an order by producers and perhaps, the song is quite impressive..... ...
