Om Raut, Vivek Agnihotri to Jaspal Singh Sandhu: Top 5 Filmmakers Who Are Shattering the Formulaic Filmmaking Method

Gone are the days when Bollywood was churning out predictable rom-coms and action dramas that were larger than life, making them unbelievable. Recently, a fresh wave of filmmakers has brought a new perspective to filmmaking, giving their voice to social conflicts, mythological dramas, domestic stories with a twist of comedy, technology, and playful suspense. Take a look:

Vasan Bala: Psycho, Monica O My Darling, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and the recent release, Jigra, are films that shine light on Vasan Bala’s creative filmmaking, something that makes reality look unbelievable, but not through the director’s lens. Particularly in O My Darling, he fused neo-noir mystery with vintage Bollywood aesthetics. Additionally, he also paid homage to pulp fiction with his quirky characters and playful suspension, and seamlessly shattered the wall of formulaic storytelling.

In this age of larger-than-life ‘mass’ movies, it is surprising that the makers planned a film capitalizing on the stardom of a female star like Alia Bhatt. With this, the makers made a bold move and offered a response to the toxic masculinity, sexism, and misogyny celebrated on screen. However, setting aside the political undertone, ‘Jigra‘ delivers a mediocre experience, failing to engage due to its loose screenplay and the director’s excessive attempts to emulate a Tarantino-esque style.

‘Jigra’ tells the story of Satya and her unconditional love for her brother, Ankur. After their father takes his own life, Satya assumes responsibility for Ankur and vows to protect him at any cost. But suddenly, one fateful event shatters their world as Ankur is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death penalty, leaving Satya to fight to save him.

The Alia Bhatt starrer Jigra is heading for its Ott release soon. The movie was released on October 10, 2024, to the theatres. Even though the film failed to do wonders at the box office, it garnered immense critical acclaim.

Jigra Plot

Jigra revolves around an elder sister’s quest to go to any lengths to protect her younger brother. Alia Bhatt plays Satya, a young woman whose life revolves around her younger brother Ankur (Vedang Raina) after they are orphaned as kids. However, her life turns upside down when her brother is imprisoned in a foreign land under false charges. The situation worsens after it is revealed that he has gotten a death sentence. When all hope seems futile, Satya devises a prison break plan to rescue her brother, which is nothing less than a suicide mission.

Vedang Raina made a brilliant Bollywood entry playing Reggie in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’, followed by his recent big-screen release ‘Jigra’. Within a span of delivering two major projects, Vedang Raina has emerged as the audience’s favorite, and one who has the acting chops.

Not only is he becoming a star on screen, he is expanding into the world of being the face of top-notch brands. His boyish charm and social media presence has quickly added this next level to his career. Take a look!

So far, Vedang Raina has associated himself with some of the trendy brands including ‘Mochi Shoes’, ‘Crocs’, ‘Suzuki Avenis’, ‘Sprite’, ‘Bumble India’, and several others. He has also been a part of campaigns for esteemed brands such as ‘Calvin Klein’ and ‘Magnum’ and others. He also is the first Male Actor to be the Face of ‘Garnier’. Being a pivotal part of such...

In 2022, upon the release of “Gangubai Kathiawadi,” Anurag Kashyap a close friend and collaborator of director Vasan Bala noted that Alia Bhatt is the new Bacchan. Bala, who we all know is fascinated by pop culture and how it shapes the narrative of the present, past, and future of cinema itself, must have taken the comment quite literally. With “Jigra,” his third directorial venture (fourth if you consider the unreleased “Peddlers“) Bala has a bigger budget and even greater star power in his kitty.

The usually dependable Alia Bhatt stars as Satya, an orphan who had made herself into such a rock-solid young woman that her meditative gaze can get any shit done. Early on in her life, she witnessed the tragic suicide of her father when she and her younger sibling Ankur (later played by Vedang Raina) returned from school one day. It’s obvious that ever since that day,...

There were immense expectations from Alia Bhatt led Jigra, but it unfortunately could not live up to the expectations. The action-thriller co-starring Vedang Raina has completed 12 days in theatres. Scroll below to know the total box office collection so far.

It would be safe to say that there was a lot of freshness in Jigra. A tale about siblings, a fresh pairing, a female star leading an action movie; numerous factors could have hit the right note. It made a decent debut at the Indian box office, but the mixed word-of-mouth gradually took over.

One of the major drawbacks of Jigra is its high budget. Director Vasan Bala and his team splurged 90 crores to deliver a roller coaster ride filled with emotional yet thrilling moments with action sequences. Even its Dussehra competitor, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, has been underwhelming,...

Vedang Raina certainly has made his mark on screen, and he is only two films old! The young actor debuted in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, playing one of the main characters in the gang, Reggie. For his second film, Vasan Bala’s intense drama Jigra, Vedang went deep into character to play a very challenging role, garnering rave reviews for his performance.

Featuring Alia Bhatt, Jigra tells the compelling story of an unbreakable bond forged through hardship and unwavering loyalty between a sister and brother. When a series of tragic events threaten her brother’s life, the sister embarks on a perilous journey to save him. You must see the movie to find out what happens, and we highly recommend that you do!

In this short but fascinating interview, Vedang Raina delves into Jigra and the intense experience of making the film. He reveals how lucky he feels to...

It is a well known fact tha behind most Bollywood songs, there is an incredible playback singer creating magic. However, occasionally the song is actually sung by the actor and it is always a treat. For Jigra, the relatively new actor Vedang Raina, not only had to play a very intense role, but he also sang three songs! The first one has been released and it is brilliant.

Titled ‘Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka’ its soulful melody and the beautifully performed rendition by Vendang is excellent. Representing the deep bond between siblings the song reflects resilience and inner strength, capturing the emotional core of Jigra, while blending poetic lyrics with soulful melodies. It evokes the timeless essence of love and affection.

With lyrics by Varun Grover and soulful composition by Achint, ‘Phoolan Ka Taaro Ka’ is a reimagined version of the of the classic Rd Burman, with lyrics by Anand Bakshi,...

Jigra (which means both heart and courage) is, in equal parts, gutting and emotional but also far-fetched and logic-free. Director and co-writer Vasan Bala creates a jailbreak movie that tries to find the sweet spot between moving sibling drama, thrilling action and breathless suspense, and although he doesn’t hit all the marks, lead actor and co-producer Alia Bhatt reconfirms that she is a formidable talent.

Even when the plot becomes looser and the twists too convenient, Bhatt doesn’t miss a beat. She’s fabulously fierce as protagonist Satya, her eyes maintaining an expression of unblinking determination. She might be small physically, but when she takes down a grown man, we don’t question it because her conviction is so absolute. In one scene, another character admiringly calls her a gundi (gangster). In this environment, it’s a compliment.

Satya is unbreakable because she’s had to grow up too fast.

Vedang Raina may be young and a very newcomer to film but already has made his mark on the screen with his starring role in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies and his most recent release Jigra which also starred Alia Bhatt.

In this interview with Subhash K Jha, Vedang Raina speaks about getting into character for Jigra, the hard scenes he had to shoot and more.

What are your feelings at the moment?

Weirdly this time I’m quite numb compared to Archies. I was definitely more nervous last time. Could either be because I’m a bit more used to or because I just haven’t registered it yet. I’ll give it a few days ha, ha.

Was it smooth-sailing shooting for Jigra?

It was the best experience being on the set of this film. It was definitely not smooth because everyday felt like a challenge. It was emotionally demanding.

Jigra tells the gripping story of Satya and her fight to save her brother Ankur. Directed by Vasan Bala, it stars Alia Bhatt in a standout role as Satya, a woman with bold conviction who will stop at nothing to protect family.

The film belongs to the jailbreak thriller genre. Satya’s brother Ankur finds himself sentenced to death in the fictional country of Hanshi Dao after being framed for drug possession. As an older sister would, Satya vows to rescue Ankur from this foreign prison, wherever it may be.

Alia Bhatt brings Satya to life with layers of emotion beneath a composed surface. You feel her pain from past tragedies and fierce love for her brother. The film starts strong, drawing us into Satya and Ankur’s close bond. But later it loses some focus amid references to other films.

Still, Bhatt anchors the film, keeping us invested in Satya’s mission.

Rani Chatterjee and Satya Anand have little in common.

The leads of Karan Johar’s “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” and Vasan Bala’s “Jigra” are both played by Alia Bhatt, one of the top actors in her class, and the only connective tissue between the saree-clad romantic heroine and the resolute woman out to save her brother is that if you cross them, or someone they love, they would probably kill you. It’s a trait Bhatt wears on her sleeve — think “Gully Boy” and “Gangubai Kathiawadi” — and Bala unleashes the best iteration of that to date.

“Jigra” is the story of siblings Satya (Alia Bhatt) and Ankur (Vedang Raina), orphaned in their childhood and raised in the home of wealthy relatives. When Ankur ends up on death row for drug possession in the fictional country of Hanshi Dao, Satya resolves to get him free at all costs.

Bhatt plays a woman trying to spring her brother from prison in a fictional East Asian state, after he is framed by their rich-kid cousins

Director Vasan Bala has a knack for capturing the way some humans view others as disposable, as lives to spend for power. In Bala’s new Hindi-language production Jigra, a jailbreak film that frequently alludes to earlier, better Bollywood thrillers, Satya (a luminous Alia Bhatt), has learned from the best; after witnessing her father’s suicide she is raised by powerful relatives, and works as a fixer in one of their luxury hotels where she handles any inconveniences, human or otherwise.

Satya’s sole loyalty is to her younger, less savvy brother Ankur (Vedang Raina); whose attempts to raise money for a tech start-up with his reckless, far richer cousin Kabir (Aditya Nanda) go from bacchanalia to drug bust. Kabir and his family summarily frame...

Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra is not just about its story or strong acting performances; it’s much more than that. It’s about Bala’s love for cinema; it’s about the masterful cinematography by Swapnil S. Sonawane and the editing done artfully by Prerna Sehgal. The story might be a bit hit or miss for some, but for me personally, it’s a delight to watch a filmmaker as passionate as Bala get the means and resources to spread his wings. So let’s find out what happened in the film, what sorts of conflicts Alia Bhatt’s character, Satya, had on her way, and if she was successful in her quest.

Spoiler Alert

What happened to Satya’s father?

At the beginning of Jigra, we saw two kids enter their home and see their father jumping off from their balcony. Satya and Ankur were very young when both their parents passed away.

Vasan Bala’s language of seclusion in Jigra is so unique and arresting, it feels like the first time that mainstream Hindi cinema has shown an inclination to grow out of its fixation with fables and comedies on superheroes.

Alia Bhatt wears the cape of superheroism with melancholic resignation. She is the epitome of a cornered hero. When pushed against the wall, she won’t bawl. She will fight with all her might to set the imbalance right.

As Satya, Alia Bhatt is all for a good fight against injustice. But it’s not about reforming society , or even changing mindsets. This time,it’s very personal. She just wants to get her kid-brother back.

Before we go any further, let’s applaud the new star in Tinsel Town. Despite Alia’s author-back star turn, Vedang Raina, as the wronged, vulnerable sibling, gives a moving, star-making performance. Here is a...
