Alia Bhatt Shines in Action Thriller Jigra: Netizens Applaud Her Performance

Alia Bhatt's latest film, Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, arrived in theatres today, marking a significant moment in her already illustrious career. The film, an action-packed thriller, tells the story of a sister who embarks on a daring mission to break her younger brother out of a foreign prison. Co-starring Vedang Raina, the film has been pitted against the comedy Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. However, early indications suggest that Bhatt's Jigra has taken the lead in this box office face-off.

Alia Bhatt, who was once labeled a "product of nepotism," has consistently proven her worth with her versatile performances over the years. Jigra is another testament to her ability to push boundaries and explore complex characters. This time, she portrays a character with shades of grey, a departure from her usual roles.

The initial reactions from netizens have been overwhelmingly positive. One Twitter user shared, "#Jigra is a gripping prison escape story that delves into the darker aspects of human nature. I must say that this is a very unusual film, with Alia's character being somewhat grey. Vasan is an exceptional director, and I applaud his vision and concept." Another viewer echoed similar sentiments, writing, "This Woman. I'm not a fanboy of any specific Bollywood actor; having said that, credit is to be given where it's due. #AliaBhatt has outperformed herself in #JIGRA. The range she has when it comes to portraying emotions is truly fascinating and definitely praiseworthy."

The film has been hailed as a "winner" by yet another internet user who noted, "Another gem in #AliaBhatt's career. This girl means business no matter how much you don't like her or say whatever. She has love and emotion for cinema, which lacks in today's generation of actresses. #Jigra is another winner for Alia, the one and only Lady Superstar of Bollywood."

With such early praise, Jigra seems poised to be a standout in Alia Bhatt's career and the 2024 box office.
