Jigra attempts to transform Alia Bhatt into a badass action hero, but the result is a convoluted plot filled with laughable moments and a villain who feels more like a campy sidekick. What should be a thrilling prison break turns into a sluggish stroll through absurdity, leaving viewers both amused and bewildered.

 

Oh, Jigra, where do I even start? This film is like a smoothie made of overripe bananas and too much kale—unpleasantly green and hard to swallow. Alia Bhatt plays Satya, a character who wants to be the next Amitabh Bachchan but ends up more like a confused intern at a martial arts dojo.

 

The film opens with a line that’s supposed to be profound, asking if Satya wants to “become a Bachchan.” Spoiler alert: she does, but somehow ends up more like a Bollywood version of a superhero with all the powers of a paper towel. Seriously, her fighting skills are about as believable as a cat taking a bath.

 

In a plot that feels like it was scribbled on a napkin during a lunch break, Satya’s younger brother, Ankur (played by Vedang Raina, who is definitely not the hero we need), gets wrongfully imprisoned for a drug charge that’s as convoluted as a soap opera plot twist. So, of course, it’s up to Satya to rescue him, armed only with her karate skills and a truck that apparently drives itself. Talk about a magic ride!

 

As the film lumbers through its duration, we’re treated to action scenes that feel less like epic battles and more like a toddler throwing a tantrum in a toy store. Alia gives it her all, throwing punches and performing stunts that make you wonder if she has a personal stunt double or just an unusually optimistic gym trainer.

 

The pacing? Oh boy! It’s like they ran out of caffeine halfway through and decided to take a nap. There are scenes where you can almost hear the crickets chirping because the tension is about as palpable as a damp sponge. You expect the urgency of a prison break, but it feels more like a leisurely stroll through a park—complete with awkward small talk and questionable fashion choices.

 

And let’s talk about the villain! Played by Vivek Gomber, who seems to be auditioning for a role in a campy Halloween special, he brings a flair that’s more entertaining than threatening. You can’t help but chuckle every time he appears, wondering if he’s about to burst into song or offer you a snack.

 

By the time the credits roll, you’re left feeling like you’ve just binge-watched a series of poorly made TikTok videos. Jigra tries to be an action-packed thrill ride but ends up as a clumsy comedy that’s both hilarious and painful to watch.

 

So, if you’re in the mood for a film that feels like a mix between a superhero origin story and a cooking show gone wrong, grab your popcorn and dive into Jigra. Just don’t expect to come out unscathed—your brain might just need a vacation afterward!
