The felon is Niyaaz Shaikh ( Chandan Roy Sanyal) who is convicted for the rape and murder of a young woman named Sia ( Priya Banerjee), and the case against him is set for judgement in four days. Anuradha lies to family and friends, saying that Sanaya is safe at her grandmother's house, so that the law is not involved. The kidnapper contacts Anuradha and tells her that she has to defend a convicted felon in order to get her daughter back. On the day of a parent-child race organized in her daughter Sanaya's ( Sara Arjun) school, Sanaya is kidnapped. Less is more and that is an art the director should happily embrace.Anuradha Verma ( Aishwarya Rai) is a prominent criminal lawyer and a single mother who has never lost a case. The flawed moments in Jazbaa are those where Gupta asks his actors to do more, whether it is to scream louder, fight harder, or say the lines with more drama. It ruins the subtleness we come to appreciate early on. The now made famous slow motion scene where Aishwarya runs and screams her daughter's name before interval is too over the top and theatrical. A badly written character that stands out like a sore thumb in an otherwise stellar star cast. You neither loathe him, nor feel sorry for him. Also Chandan Roy Sanyal's bad guy act is too amateurish. The dialogues sometimes sound cheesy and too convoluted. Also Siddhant Kapoor and Jackie's father-son track isn't as solid as expected. The flashback moments early on somewhat hamper us from connecting with what's happening before us.

Cinematography is stylish capturing and showcasing Mumbai like never before. Also Irrfan and Aishwarya have an impeccable timing, seem totally at ease with each other, never trying to eat into the others scene. The casting is superb and therein lies the victory of the film. Atul Kulkarni, Shabana Azmi, Jackie Shroff, Irrfan Khan fill up the frame with their strong performances. Even the songs come only as momentary fillers, never dampening the effect of the taut storyline. Also the pace doesn't slacken, knowing what the genre promises, Gupta keeps his script tight. If you expect a performance driven film, then Jazbaa doesn't disappoint. Gupta gives her a canvas where she shows a range that perhaps no other director has been able to capture. We relate to her pain not only because she's lost her daughter, but her constant struggle to suspend the very values and beliefs she upholds is what makes Anuradha endearing. Even though there are moments when she has to amp up the drama quotient, screech, scream, show her theatrics, there is a sense of confidence with which she builds up her character. She manages to make Anuradha believable from the very first frame.

Fast paced with enough suspense to keep you engaged, Jazbaa is tight, gripping and shot in Gupta's signature style. He not only plays a her sidekick but also manages to give the story a different texture. Irrfan Khan plays Inspector Yohan, whose wisecracks and one liners are opposite to Anuradha's calm demeanour. The script isn't linear, instead it has a multidimensional facet where Anuradha is suddenly caught in the middle of a dodgy nexus that involves a powerful politician (Jackie Shroff), his son (Siddhant Kapoor) and also a mother (Shabana Azmi) who is fighting to get her justice for her daughter's murder. Caught in a dilemma, she has to now surrender her values and turn a blind eye to what is right to get her daughter back. Her adversary asks her to defend the case of a criminal who is accused of rape and murder. Aishwarya plays AnuradhaVerma a lawyer who is caught in a cat and mouse game of tracking her daughter's kidnapper. Despite the umpteen twists and turns, plot changes, characters and their contribution to the storyline, Jazbaa at its core is a story of a mother and daughter.
