Jigra

Vedang Raina puts his best foot forward in the guise of the harried and tortured Ankur.

Alia Bhatt's performances usually have at least a couple of distinctive notes. Here, badass replacing vulnerability, those edges are blunted. Jigra becomes a stretch, of both patience and credulity.

Jigra is audacious, trailblazing, sugar, spice, and everything nice and is a must-watch. Don't miss this one. Alia really does deserve the loudest cheers for upping her game, shedding her inhibitions as an actor, shunning the sheen, and proving her mettle once again.

Jigra is an exhilarating action thriller directed by Vasan Bala that expertly blends high-stakes action with emotional depth, showcasing Satya's resilience and cleverness as she hatches a daring plan to infiltrate a prison. The film features strong performances, intricate storytelling, and realistic action scenes that keep audiences on the edge of their seats while delving into the powerful connections between family, justice, and the fight against oppression.

Jigra rests on some emotional moments and Alia Bhatt's performance.

Alia Bhatt-starrer Jigra has promise, and the lead star shines brightest in the Vasan Bala directorial. However, the storyline leaves us wanting.
