The film explores Satya’s quest to free her brother, wrongly implicated in a drug scam, from a remote Southeast Asian prison. Alia Bhatt, stepping away from her more glamorous roles, has been praised for her intense and gritty portrayal of a determined sister, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
However, despite Alia Bhatt’s standout performance, the film has been met with mixed reviews. While some appreciated the fresh approach to the prison-break genre and the emotional depth Alia brought to her character, many felt that the film’s overall execution fell short.
Critics have noted that the storyline becomes predictable and fails to build the necessary tension required in a revenge drama. According to reviews, the narrative starts promisingly but soon loses steam, with the emotional core — the sibling bond — feeling underdeveloped and unable to carry the film through its climax.
The supporting cast, including Manoj Pahwa, is praised for solid performances, but Vedang Raina’s role as Ankur is described as underwritten, leaving viewers less invested in his plight. The film’s climax, which stretches out over the final act, has been criticized for being tedious and lacking the dramatic punch expected in such a storyline.

Despite its flaws, Jigra offers Alia Bhatt a platform to shine, and her portrayal of Satya is widely seen as a high point in the film. However, for many, the film as a whole doesn’t deliver the emotional or narrative depth required to make it a memorable entry in the action-thriller genre.
