The entertainment world is buzzing with excitement as the eagerly awaited trailer for the film ‘Jigra’ made its debut on Thursday. Directed by the acclaimed Vasan Bala, the film stars Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in a story that promises to deliver high-octane action and deep emotional resonance. Slated for release on October 11, 2024, ‘Jigra’ explores the narrative of a brave sister’s determination to rescue her imprisoned brother.
Alia Bhatt, in her role as Satya, portrays a character marked by relentless devotion to her brother, Ankur, played by Vedang Raina. The trailer, now the talk of the town, showcases Bhatt’s character emanating fierce resilience and unwavering strength. One of the most impactful moments from the trailer features Satya passionately declaring, “Maine kabhi nhi kaha, main sahi insaan hu. Main sirf, Ankur ki behen hu.” This powerful line encapsulates the essence of her character – a sister willing to tackle insurmountable odds for her brother’s sake.
Vedang Raina, whose career on screen began with his debut in ‘The Archies’ last year, steps into a more significant role with ‘Jigra’. His presence alongside Alia Bhatt is already generating substantial interest and speculation, positioning him as a rising star in the industry.
The online community has been quick to respond to the trailer, with social media platforms inundated with reactions and reviews. One Twitter user praised the film’s marketing strategy, stating, “This is the kind of effort you need to put in if you’re promoting your film as a female-centric movie and want others to refer to the lead actress as the ‘lady superstar.’ #Jigra.” Another tweet highlighted the film’s soundtrack, saying, “This BGM ohh god insaneee I love when women carry their own films 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Jigra #AliaBhatt.”
Other netizens have also expressed their admiration for Alia Bhatt’s versatility and continuous innovation in her roles. “This girl never fails to try something different and amaze me ✨ #Jigra #AliaBhatt,” shared one enthusiastic fan. Another comment reinforced the captivating mix of elements in the trailer, stating, “#Jigra trailer has it all – action, drama, earnest performances and an amazing BGM to top it all. @Vasan_Bala has done magic and Alia Bhatt is at her very, very best when it comes to emoting and drawing the audience in just with her eyes.

On Reddit, users delved deeper into the trailer’s appeal. One user noted, “For once a trailer which doesn’t show the full concept of the movie 😭🤣 And damn, that 1st shot of VEDANG..
.. He looks like RANVEER. I kinda liked how Alia’s character is not a badass but also brave enough as per the storyline. Excited to watch this in theatre (sic.).” Another user shared their optimistic view, “Am I the only one who actually liked it? This trailer doesn’t seem depressing like the teaser, which is quite a positive sign for me. Also seems like something fresh after a while. Alia’s acting is fine, but Vedang in his few glimpses shows some promise, hope he does well! (sic).”
A different user expressed their excitement for the uniqueness of ‘Jigra,’ saying, “I lovedddd it. It seems really fresh, different, and interesting. Finally something that STANDS OUT. And the aesthetics and the cinematography 🤌🏻. The bond between Alia and Vedang’s characters seems so powerful and intense. I think it’s safe to say it will be a good movie since the cast>>> and the premise>>> everyone’s gonna act to the T. Really looking forward to it!! (sic.).”
Adding to the film’s allure, ‘Jigra’ boasts a compelling soundtrack. The popular track ‘Chal Kudiye’ features a collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh, and the trailer also teases a recreated version of the classic song ‘Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka,’ where Vedang Raina’s vocal talent is showcased.
Produced by Dharma Productions and presented by Viacom18 Studios in association with Eternal Sunshine Productions, ‘Jigra’ benefits from a script co-written by Debashish Irengbam and Vasan Bala. The film’s blend of intense action, emotional depth, and musical brilliance positions it as a must-watch event in theaters this October.
