Direction

Vasan Bala is one of the very few filmmakers, who have always stayed several paces ahead of the storyline. It is natural that Bala’s directorial vision evokes the romance of action films.

His past works have been a mix of such unorthodox plots with informative and spectacular visuals that take the viewers through the stories in an alternate way.

With Jigra, Vasan Bala seems ready to outdo himself as a director. He has an outstanding sense of timing and rhythm, insights on cuts and the well-known ability to draw out the best from his actors, and he delivers on this one.

Bala is known for combining the virulent chase of action sequences with deep pathos, which makes him the most appropriate director of Jigra, a film that is presumed to be more than just bloody battle maps.

In the contemporary Bollywood industry, female-oriented action movies are still a rarity, making the news of Bhatt’s participation in Jigra more thrilling.

To do this film, Bhatt probably has to put away her coy image as she presents a character that breaks gender norms and is tough, strong, and smart.

Plot

Bollywood action films have always led by the cliches who have male focused character, but rather recently have been trying to create and make space for female action drama leads.

Jigra is the reflection of this change as it walks the path of light headed women in action at the center of the narrative device. It is stated that if you are brave at heart and bold you have in plenty of jigra within you and your personal life will be filled with wisdom as well as accomplishment.

The title implies that it would encompass the focus needed to do brave acts and the aspects of the mind needed in meeting such inner and outer challenges.

Review

As per the snippets given in the promotional material, Jigra is sure to offer some roller coaster action sequences that will leave every viewer glued to their seats. At the same time, is also expected that the film will tackle family values, honor and inner struggle and self-acceptance that is rather more than just an action film.

And this is precisely what differentiates Jigra from other action films in the market – the presence of accelerating moments in combination with the intricacy of feelings.

The character played by gorgeous Alia Bhatt in Jigra is said to be more inspiring especially to young girls because it is about a woman who’s physically strong but also smart and emotionally tough.

Films that promote determination and inner courage should be received well by the audiences who enjoy tales about overcoming struggles and the transformation of characters.
