Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Jigra is mixed, with most reviewers acknowledging Alia Bhatt's performance as the film's strongest asset, earning praise for commitment and range. A handful of critics found the action sequences and emotional moments effective, with some calling the film audacious and exhilarating. However, the most common criticism centers on a muddled, chaotic narrative that prioritizes style over substance, leaving several reviewers feeling the film's potential was unrealized. Vedang Raina received isolated praise, while at least one critic found even Bhatt's performance fell short of her usual standard.

“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.”Read full review ↗
