Jigra positive reviews

“Alia Bhatt: Now i got to know why her fans called her LADY SUPER STAR.”

Engaging screenplay.. Alia impressive lag rahi hai aur bgm is like faad (Alia is looking impressive and the background score is awesome).”

“Nobody can come close to Alia Bhatt when it comes to showing emotional range. effortlessly real! cried my heart out the climax & I was not ready for that! so so soooo heartwarming. please go give this film a watch it deserves the world”

“Alia Bhatt's portrayal of SATYA is one of the most Badass depictions of women I've seen in recent years”

“Style, class and substance—Jigra got all three. If you are looking for a quality cinema falling into the art and science of cinema and away from commerce, then Jigra seems to be the BEST THING YOU'LL SEE IN 2024. Alia Bhatt is playing a SANKI ANGRY YOUNG WOMAN. Vasan Bala's direction and editing (obviously he sits with him) skills are amazing.”

Jigra negative reviews

Jigra is TIRESOME. Alia Bhatt performs well but that's not enough. Film is dragged and the entire film revolves around jailbreaking and not the main conflict. The basic issue is that the film isn't entertaining. Another victim of poor writing.”

“Just saw this movie,and it was one of the worst movie ever. Give my 500rs back Jigra movie team.”

Meanwhile, Jigra is trending high on Google:
