Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave it 3 (out of 5) stars: "I'm going with three out of five for the late Yash Chopra's "Jab Tak Hai Jaan". Despite its many script problems, it's a consistently watchable film that oozes with feeling and real emotion. A fitting swan song." "OPEN" magazine gave the film 3 (out of 5) stars, praising Yash Chopra's direction. Ajit Duara called it "a deeply-felt cinematic perspective from 80 years of living." Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave it 3 (out of 5) stars, saying: "As a swan-song for the master director, "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" might only be a middling effort. But then, sometimes, all we need is a Khan-song." Shabana Ansari of "Daily News and Analysis" gave the film 3 (out of 5) stars: "If you must, watch "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" for Shah Rukh, who can still convey love and passion in a fleeting look or a dimpled smile; and for Yash Chopra who gave us some of the most enduring romances of all times." Shubhra Gupta of "The Indian Express" gave the film 2.5 (out of 5) stars, saying "watch this one for Shah Rukh, who can still do the dimpled boy wonder and the older, mature lover with a wry smile and wounded wink and sexy nudge." Sukanya Verma (also from Rediff.com) described it as an "elegant, harmless entertainer for [the] most part", praising the visuals, acting and music. She criticised the screenplay, contending that the film could have been "snappier", and gave it 2.5 (out of 5) stars. Piyasree Dasgupta of "First Post" wrote: "You have seen everything "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" has many times before, just in other films. And probably with far better music than A.R. Rahman threw into this one." "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" received positive reviews from critics overseas. Priya Joshi of the website Digital Spy gave it 3 (out of 5) stars: "The film is invested with a healthy dose of Shah Rukh, the very heart and "saans" of Yash Chopra and the message which he lived and breathed through his films: that love is eternal."
