The story in Jigra centers on a sister-brother bond, where the brother is wrongfully convicted in a foreign country in a narcotics case and faces death sentence The sister takes it upon herself to break him out of jail, with the clock ticking toward his death sentence.
Bollywood in the past has generally potrayed brothers as the knight in shining armor going all out for his sister. In Jigra its just the opposite and is definitely a welcome change. Vasan Bala has always chartered new territories and this is no exception. Plot has thrills, emotions, and drama in equal proportions.  The jail portrayal is quite  interesting though it's a tad bit slow.  
Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt, and Soumen Mishra, it stars Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina as the sister brother duo.
The prison break segment of the film is well executed.  The action sequence blends seamlessly into the narrative, driven by the desperation and love the sister has for her brother 
The film was technically well made with amazing cinematography and background score. One of the standout elements of Jigra is its background music . The rendition of "Phoolon ka Taroo ka" is very pleasing to hear as well.However its chaotic narrative and focus on style over substance at times hinder its overall impact.

Alia Bhatt shines as Satya, fighting tirelessly against injustice delivers  a performance filled with raw emotion and grit..Vedang Raina  brings a certain warmth and charm to the screen. His poignant portrayal of the vulnerable sibling, will definitely touch your heart. The supporting cast is quite well pitched with Manoj Pahwa leading it.
Overall Jigra is a good watch. We give it three out of five stars
