'Jigra' plot and audience reception
Jigra narrates the story of a sister (played by Bhatt) who goes on a mission to save her brother (Raina) from legal trouble abroad. The film has received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike. Director Bala had earlier described Jigra as different from his previous films because of its eccentricity. He said it was "most eccentric because with humor and quirk, you can cover up reality but with emotions, you are exposed."
