Alia Bhatt's Film 'Jigra' Fails to Impress Audiences

Mumbai: Bollywood's lively actress Alia Bhatt has made her much-anticipated return to the big screen after becoming a mother. Fans were eagerly waiting for her new film, and finally, their wait is over. Alia's latest film, Jigra, has just been released, offering a unique and emotional story. The film centers around a sister's fight to save her brother. However, if you're planning to watch the movie to find out how it fares and Alia's performance in it, this review might help you decide.

Jigra revolves around the deep bond between a brother and sister, with Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in the lead roles. Alia plays the character of Satya, the elder sister, while Vedang portrays her younger brother, Ankush. The film's plot takes a dark turn when Ankush is falsely accused of a crime and is pressured by the police to confess to something he didn’t do. He's subjected to brutal treatment in jail, but he endures it, knowing that his sister Satya will do everything in her power to save him.

Determined to free her brother, Satya is willing to face any challenge that comes her way. She’s set on proving his innocence and getting him out of prison. The film follows her journey and the lengths she goes to protect Ankush. To see how she battles the odds and whether she succeeds, you'll need to watch the film.

Despite Jigra being a highly anticipated film, it hasn't garnered much attention or buzz. Unfortunately, Alia and Vedang’s performances have failed to captivate audiences this time around. It seems that Alia’s choice of this film may not have been the best. *Jigra* falters in several areas and could potentially be one of the weakest films in Alia’s career. Prior to this, she has delivered blockbuster performances, but her magic seems to have faded in this one.

The storyline of Jigra is lackluster, and the film drags in several places. Alia’s acting appears overdone, which further hampers the film’s appeal. Styled in the manner of Hollywood films where plotlines take a backseat, Jigra fails to entertain the broader audience and seems to cater to a niche group. The film has been released in multiple languages, including Hindi and various South Indian languages, but its impact remains underwhelming across the board.
