Alia's Durga puja visit came hours after her film Jigra hit the theatres. Directed by Vasan Bala, the movie also stars Vedang Raina. The movie has received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.
Alia Bhatt is the real 'jigra' of Vasan Bala's film
Coupling a sibling story with a prison break format, what Jigra gets right is the emotional quotient of the film. But it's the other part that doesn't quite work. Prison escape movies aren't new to cinema and same for its tropes, which is why it's important for the ride to the climax be worthwhile. While the film puts on an earnest attempt, it does lose momentum and pace in a few scenes in the second half. It's established early on that the film is a rather filmy story - almost an ode to Bollywood action thrillers of the 90s - and it makes you wish for the punches to land. But at over 153 minutes, Jigra feels slightly stretched, predictable and monotonous.Read the full review here.
