Jigra Movie Review
India TV's Sakshi Verma in her review for the film rated the film 3 out of five stars and wrote, ''Vasan's directorial is a heartfelt story of bravery, loyalty between siblings, and the sacrifices that love sometimes demands. Alia Bhatt's sisterly love for Vedang Raina in the film can make you fall for the sibling love. The film has so much to offer than just thrilling action and family emotions. It will provoke conversations and thoughts. Vasan Bala makes you feel for the characters so much so that you would want to cry when they lose and clap when they win.'' Read the full review here.
VVKWWV Movie Review
