New Delhi. The film 'Jigra' has finally been released in theatres. Ever since the trailer of this film came out, there has been a lot of discussion about this film. I have been waiting for this film ever since I saw the way Alia Bhatt was presented in the trailer and finally today I saw this film. After watching the entire film, I would definitely like to say that it is not easy to recognize Alia's talent and I understood this only after watching her film 'Raazi'. She dares to make the film a hit on her own.

Story
The story of the film 'Jigra' is based on an orphan brother and sister. After the death of their parents, Satya (Alia Bhatt) takes care of her younger brother Ankur (Vedang Raina). Satya has been very possessive about her younger brother Ankur since childhood. She also takes very good care of him. Satya helps her elder father (Akash Deep - a distant relative) in his business and both of them live in his house. One day Alia's elder father sends Ankur abroad with his son Kabir for business, where Kabir gets caught in a drug case, but the police also take Ankur into custody along with him. Alia's elder father saves his son Kabir, but blames Ankur for everything and leaves him there, where Ankur is sentenced to death. Alia understands everything and sets out to save her brother. Will Satya be able to save her brother? To know this, you will have to watch the entire film.

What is interesting?
The pairing of Alia and Vedang in the film will win your heart. The brother-sister relationship has been shown in a new way, where it is shown that it is not always the brother who can protect his sister, if needed, the sister can also protect her brother. The film is completely a family film, which you can go and watch with your entire family. Alia is not shown as a superwoman in the film, rather she is presented as an ordinary girl. In the film, Satya has learned karate, so she can fight a little, but not much action is shown either. Therefore, Alia's character does not seem too artificial.

Shortcomings
The first half of the film goes well, but in the second half, you may feel a little bored, because the pace of the film slows down a bit. The film slows down a bit as soon as Alia reaches abroad. It seems as if the film is being dragged forcefully. If the duration of the film had been reduced a little, it would have been perfect. However, by the time it reaches the climax, the film picks up its pace. The film remains in serious mode from the beginning to the end, where a little break should have been taken. These shortcomings affect the rating of the film.

Direction and Music
Vasan Bala has worked his magic in the film 'Jigra'. He has tried to make the film better from every angle. The way he has captured the relationship between Alia and Vedang with his camera is quite amazing. The only thing that is bothering the film is that it keeps running in the same mode. The film has been quite serious from the beginning till the end. If it had been lightened a bit in the middle, it would have been better. The music of Achint Thakkar and Manpreet Singh has also done wonders. They have presented the song 'Phoolon Ka Taaron Ka...' in a very wonderful way.

Should I watch it or not?
I have given you my review. The film can be watched once, but it is up to you to decide what kind of films you like. You will neither find comedy nor action in this film. If you like films based on relationships, then this can be a good choice for you.

My rating
for this Alia Bhatt movie is 3 stars.
