Jigra Review: Read the review to see if this film will force you to sit in the theatre or not
Fans were waiting for Alia Bhatt‘s film Jigra for a long time. In this film depicting the relationship between brother and sister, Vedang Raina has played the role of her brother. Alia Bhatt is seen in an action avatar for the first time in this movie directed by Vasan Bala. Read the review to see if this film will force you to sit in the theatre or not.
Director Vasan Bala had claimed in an interview that Karan Johar (film producer) had sent the incomplete script of the film Jigra to Alia Bhatt without his consent. He had said that he was not happy with it. But after watching the film it seems that Vasan did not complete the incomplete script. There is a lot of incompleteness in the characters.
Despite the presence of a seasoned actress like Alia, the beats of Jigra are dull. The only newness in the story of Jigra is that this time the heroine comes to protect one of her helpless, innocent and troubled relatives. Just like the character of Angry Young Man Amitabh Bachchan used to come in the seventh and eighth decade of the last century. He used to burn the enemy’s Lanka single-handedly. This time the circumstances are more or less the same.
What is the story of the film ‘Jigra’?
