Movie Reviews

Average - could have been better

The movie started off strong with an exciting and fast-paced first half that kept me thoroughly engaged. The action sequences and plot development were well-executed, setting high expectations for the rest of the film. However, the second half felt unnecessarily stretched, introducing random subplots that didn't add much value to the overall story. Some of the scenes and character actions lacked coherence, making it hard to stay invested. Overall, while the movie had a promising start, it struggled to maintain its momentum and fell short in delivering a satisfying conclusion. That said, the acting was solid throughout, and the cast did a commendable job with the material they were given.

AVG FIlm

Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra centers around the powerful bond between a sister and her brother, with the sister, played by Alia Bhatt, willing to go to any lengths to protect him. While this emotional core keeps the film anchored, it struggles with ambiguity in the storyline and an unsatisfactory stretched climax. The mismatch between content and execution in the second half weakens the overall impact of the film.One of the film's strongest aspects is its cinematography. The screenplay is engaging for the most part, especially in the first half. Vasan Bala's direction keeps you invested as the film consistently maintains its tone. However, there are several loose ends and narrative gaps that undermine the storytelling. The linear nature of the plot also restricts the film from exploring its full potential, making it feel one-dimensional despite its emotional depth.Alia Bhatt once again delivers a standout performance, fully embodying the role of a protective sister. Her portrayal is intense, emotional, and nuanced, making it easy for the audience to connect with her character's struggles. She particularly shines in the emotional scenes, demonstrating once again why she is considered one of the best actresses of her generation. Vedang Raina is standing out with a performance that complements Alia's. He shines throughout the film, proving himself to be a talent to watch in the future. Manoj Pahwa, as expected, is dependable and adds gravitas to his supporting role. Vivek Gomber is terrific as villain. Others are fine in their respective roles.Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 2.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 2.5/5.

Expected more

I got hooked with the trailer. Mindblowing.Then I felt bombed by the film. Underperforming to put it in one word.Alia delivers, all other actors seem to have skipped acting school. Maybe it's also the dialogues which are just week.The main problem is that the entire story is event driven. One event and song chases the next one.What about a character driven story once in a while? Character development not stupid stereotypes with punchy lines just to get to the next scene.Who is writing those dialogues?I watched 20 minutes and then skipped through the rest.Sorry, but it did not catch me.
