Jigra Movie Review

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (7.0/10)   

Verdict: Hit

Plot Overview

“Jigra follows Satya, played by the ever-so-fantastic Alia Bhatt, as she dives head-to-toe into a fierce mission to prove her brother Ankur’s (Vedang Raina) innocence when he is wrongly accused of drug trafficking. All of this takes place on – you guessed it – a deserted Southeast Asian island. The film gives us heart-warming flashbacks of the siblings’ unbreakable bond,

but just when you’re getting comfortable with the story, the film takes a 180-degree turn and turns into a gritty, no-holds-barred revenge drama. Sounds like a rollercoaster, right? Well, it is… until the script loses its momentum midway through, making the emotional stakes sound like background noise. It’s like ordering spicy food and realizing halfway through that the spiciness is gone – still delicious, but missing the kick you were craving in the first place.”
