Jigra Negative Reviews
While most of the people are appreciating the film, there are some people who feel that the film could have been made better. They believe that the film has focused on elevating Alia without paying much attention to the story. “Jigra focuses more on Alia Bhatt, than the actual story. In trying to show how great an actor she is, they failed to make the movie entertaining or even bring anything new to the table. #JIGRA. Also, the emotions don’t come naturally to you from the screenplay, so they keep playing the bgm of phoolon ka taaron ka, but nothing works.”
Another thought the film was overall good despite the shortcomings, writing, “The 2nd half of JIGRA won my heart, and the climax was impressive too. While the first half may have had some shortcomings, it all pays off in the end. Director #VasanBala deserves immense appreciation for the terrific climax.”
