==Plot==<br />
Harinder "Harry" Singh Nehra ([[Shah Rukh Khan]]) is a tourist guide who works in [[Amsterdam]]. Self-described as a "cheap womaniser", he is lonely yet friendly and helpful, and often flirts with his clients, putting his job at risk.<br />
<br />
After dropping a family at the airport, Harry comes across Sejal Zaveri ([[Anushka Sharma]]), a member of the same family who has lost her engagement ring and wants him to help her. Harry is reluctant, but to avoid a complaint by Sejal that might make him lose his job, he reluctantly agrees to help. In due course of time while searching for the ring, they become friendly and he tells her that he had left his village, [[Nurmahal]] and came to [[Canada]] to become a singer, which did not work out and that is how he slowly became a tour guide.<br />
<br />
Both Harry and Sejal travel to places in [[Europe]] where he had initially taken the family, in search of the ring. During this, Harry ends up falling in love with Sejal, but does not reveal it to her, knowing that she is engaged to Rupen ([[Kavi Shastri]]). They soon learn that a criminal, Ghyassuddin Mohammed Qureshi "Gas" ([[Chandan Roy Sanyal]]), has stolen the ring. They go to Gas to retrieve the ring but Harry gets thrashed by Gas' men. Later, while looking for antiseptics in her bag for Harry, Sejal finds the ring and realises that the ring was in her bag all along. However, she does not tell Harry, as she wants to spend some more time with him and is falling in love with him as well.<br />
<br />
The next day, Harry and Sejal fly to [[Frankfurt]] for the wedding between Harry's friend Mayank ([[Aru Krishansh Verma]]) and Irina ([[Evelyn Sharma]]), where both get questioned by them about their relationship, seeing their evident chemistry. After the wedding, Harry and Sejal get into an argument about it. Harry does not admit his feelings, as he feels he is not good enough for her and she decides to fly back home.<br />
<br />
At the airport, Sejal shows Harry the ring and tells him that she found it few days ago and that it was in her bag all along. He asks her to take care and bids her goodbye.<br />
<br />
She returns to [[India]] and he returns to his work, but begins to miss her and gets sad, not being able to concentrate during work. On Mayank's insistence, Harry flies to [[Mumbai]] to go to her wedding in hope to talk to her about his unrevealed feelings before she marries. On reaching the venue, he learns that Sejal's marriage was called off. He walks out to find her sitting outside. They eventually share their feelings for each other, kiss and go to Harry's village, [[Nurmahal]] in [[Punjab]], where he reunites with his family and marries Sejal.<br />

The film underwent a lot of name changes throughout its production phase from ''The Ring'' to ''Rahnuma'' to ''Raula'' until it was finalised with ''Jab Harry Met Sejal''.<ref>[https://www.mid-day.com/articles/the-ring-rehnuma-raula-title-shah-rukh-khan-anushka-sharma-imtiaz-ali-film-bollywood-news/18127180 'The Ring', 'Rehnuma' or 'Raula': What's the title of Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma's next film?</ref> When the title of the film was finally revealed, it received considerable backlash from people who accused that it must be a copy of the 1989 Hollywood iconic film ''[[When Harry Met Sally...]]'' or that it must have been inspired by it. However, contrary to popular beliefs, the two films have no similarity or connection with one another except both falls under the same genre and the two protagonist start off as strangers. Khan explained, "''When Harry Met Sally...'' is one of the greatest love stories ever made in the history of world cinema. Our film on the other hand, is quite original, a fun space love story by Imtiaz Ali. But it is a takeoff from there as that movie is a classic.

==Release==<br />
The film was initially set for an 11 August 2017 release. However, it was later moved a week earlier to 4 August to avoid the movie ''[[Toilet: Ek Prem Katha]]'' averting a possible box office clash.<ref name="IT"/> Its release date in [[Dubai]] and [[United Arab Emirates]] was pushed from early Thursday morning – which has been the norm for Bollywood films – to Friday evening to prevent pirated versions of the film or its spoilers from getting leaked. However, after a backlash, it was decided to release it on its original release date, 3 August, at 6&nbsp;pm [[Gulf Standard Time|GST]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-the-curious-case-of-jab-harry-met-sejal-s-release-date-2520082/amp |title=The curious case of Jab Harry Met Sejal's release date |website=[[Daily News & Analysis]] |date=2 August 2017 |access-date=2 August 2017}}</ref><br />

''[[The Times of India]]'' gave the movie 3 stars of out 5 and wrote, "Sound advice here would be that you actually buy yourself a tour ticket to Europe and soak in the sights for real. But, if you want to settle for a cheaper option of touring the continent inside a cinema hall, buy yourself a JHMS ticket and get transported to the land of make-believe captured indulgently by cinematographer K U Mohanan, with the added advantage of a Punjabi 'munda' playing your friend, philosopher, lover and guide." ''[[Filmfare]] Magazine'' gave the movie 3 stars out of 5 stating that, "JHMS is a happy romantic comedy that you can sing and dance along with. Pritam's music is a stand out feature.
