Directed by Vasan Bala and starring Alia Bhatt, Jigra is an action thriller centered on the bond between a sister and her brother, but it struggles to deliver its emotional and narrative punch. While the premise is intriguing, the execution feels flat. The pacing drags in the first half, and by the time the action kicks in, the momentum is already lost. Alia Bhatt gives a decent performance, but even her efforts can’t overcome the film’s underwhelming script. Supporting characters like Muthu, the ex-cop, and Bhatia, the reformed gangster, have potential but fall into predictable clichés. The emotional beats, which should have carried the film, feel forced, and while the setting and cinematography are visually appealing, the action sequences lack the intensity needed to truly engage. Ultimately, Jigra has moments of promise, but it fails to leave a lasting impression. Its exploration of themes like loyalty and justice barely scratches the surface, leaving viewers with a movie that’s watchable but forgettable. For fans of Alia Bhatt, it might be worth a try, but it doesn’t rise to its potential.
