The story unfolds, showing Hari Lal's commitment as he faces different obstacles to fulfill his promise of giving Jaggu the life he deserves.

Reception
A reviewer from Filminformation mentioned that Vipin Kapoor's direction is weak, mirroring the shortcomings of the script. Manish Sahriya's music and background score serve their purpose but don't stand out. The lyrics by Mayank Gera are unremarkable. Sooraj Katoch's choreography is uninspiring, and Jan Kashyap's camerawork doesn't significantly enhance the drama. Puneet Kapoor's production design is unimpressive, and Vikas Phougat's editing is loose.

In a review by Abhishek Srivastava of the Times of India, who gave only 2.5 stars out of 5, it was noted that the comedy in 'Jaggu ki Lalten' is unintentional, but it manages to bring a smile to your face. The sequences featuring Raghuvir Yadav are particularly engaging. This drama is not a bad film overall; it has a good storyline, but the majority of the cast's performances and the direction are below par, which hinders its potential.

Gagan Gurjar of Asianet News described 'Jaggu Ki Lantern' as a wholesome family film with a story and content that deeply touches the heart.
