Jigra

#Jigra is a term for courage or mettle. The heroine, a young woman named Satya, does possess plenty of it. From an early age, following the death of their parents, she takes complete control of her kid brother. She fulfils all his needs and is almost a mother to him. When he travels to a foreign country and gets wrongly implicated in a narcotics case, she goes all out and rescues him. The story did have potential, but the convenient script and some illogical sequences have ruined the film. In addition to Alia Bhatt, Vivek Gomber, Rahul Ravindran and Manoj Pahwa deliver good performances. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. Rating 2/5.

Vasan Bala is huge fan of Bachchan & there are Bachchan ester eggs throughout the movie!!

Alia's character is vaguely based on iconic Bachchan angry young man characters. The movie is strongly uplifted by BGM.(Always a forte for Vasan Bala films). Cinematography is good. The colour frames lit up big screen. First half is good. Builds up Alia's character.2nd half is bit streched but climax lives up to expectations. (Even climax could have been 5-7 minutes shorter.)

Somehow it's missing the thrill of Monica oh my Darling benchmark. It's Prison break+ emotions+ Bachchan movie without Bachchan himself!!

Overall a good movie!

Went in so excited for this movie and i am so disappointed.

Vasan's last 2 movies ie Monica / Mard ko Dard nahi hota were absolutely amazing watches and so wanted to watch this in theatres on first day and man he DISAPPOINTED me .

Such an expected story with very bad screenplay. It only focuses on one part of the story ignoring the rest.

Alia tried hard but she reminded me of Gangubai a lot . I think what worked with Monica's/Mard were not having popular stars. Here, they have one and Vasan seems to have succumbed to the pressure . He focused too much on highlighting Alia as 'Amitabh Bachchan' than he lost the plot. He should have made this with someone else.

Vedang is good though and he has a good future ahead . Deserved more screen time . He sings well too.

Bgm is good , cinematography is great , Music is underwhelming.

Few action scenes are good , majority bland .

3/10 .

Mr Vasan thought of no where that he was playing a video game and realised same kind version he can incorporate into movie.

Story was written like a 12th grade boy who can just imagine how to plot for prison break.

Very very loop holes, dots didn't tried to match at many times.. Half of the way where something thought it can get connected were broken.

USP is Alia and Vedang ( Specially Vedang) who really acted well.. Alia was like her in Raazi action but more of action with pointless scripts, mediacore acting and poor execution.

Just wait to get it realased on Netflix those have subscription else download some free apps to watch it..

Don't spend money to go theatre and waste your time.

The movie started off strong with an exciting and fast-paced first half that kept me thoroughly engaged. The action sequences and plot development were well-executed, setting high expectations for the rest of the film. However, the second half felt unnecessarily stretched, introducing random subplots that didn't add much value to the overall story. Some of the scenes and character actions lacked coherence, making it hard to stay invested. Overall, while the movie had a promising start, it struggled to maintain its momentum and fell short in delivering a satisfying conclusion. That said, the acting was solid throughout, and the cast did a commendable job with the material they were given.
