Sangeeta Sinh: Kathiwada :
The Sunday Observer
Bombay, August 1992
"His style is not restricted is not governed by any school of thought. There is grace and fluidity in the pictures of these women."
 

Devina Dutt:
Sunday
Bombay, August 1992
"in which he contrasts fluidity and movement with emptiness and stillness, and the liberal use of space".
 

Fredie D'souza:
Femina
Bombay, August 1992
"the treatment is suggestive and ethereal. The figures blend into the woodwork as it were. Every frame is powerful and sometimes borders on the surreal, and the colours border on the dark side".
 

Dyaneshwar Nadkarni:
Sunday Midday
Bombay, August 1992
"In Jani, the spectral element is supreme. What makes Jani's paintings interesting is the fact that they are not as abstract as most paintings are these days"
 

Sumitra Kumar Srinivasan:
The Hindu
Bombay, Sept., 1992
"His figuration has a curious lightness, an element of existing in a quasi real world where the demarcations between fantasy and reality blur".
 

Niyatee Shinde:
Indian Express
Bombay, August 1992
"Rather I believe, for him his art lies in concealing art. A shrewd play, this".
 

Abhay Sardesai:
Free Press Journal
Bombay, August 1992
"The dialectic achieved through the agency of the illusion helps create an aesthetic tension, on which hinges the appreciation of the work of Art. In Jehangir Jani's works, the results of such attempts at a surreal subversion of conventional reality are mixed, his series of paintings seek to capture the twilight quality of the adbhut".
