Alia Bhatt’s action-packed thriller Jigra is set to make its digital debut on Netflix, following an underwhelming performance at the box office. The film, which had its theatrical release on October 11, 2024, will begin streaming on the platform on December 6, 2024
Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra tells the gripping story of Satya Anand (Alia Bhatt), a determined sister who embarks on a dangerous mission to free her brother from a foreign prison. The emotional journey and high-stakes action are at the heart of this narrative, blending themes of family and sacrifice. The film also features Vedang Raina as her brother Ankur, alongside a strong supporting cast including Manoj Pahwa and Vivek Gomber
Despite the strong premise and a dedicated fanbase, Jigra struggled at the box office, particularly during its release window, where it faced competition from other films such as Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. This marked one of Bhatt’s lowest openers, though the film received positive critical feedback for its performances and storytelling
Produced by Dharma Productions and presented by Viacom18 Studios, the film also draws attention with the inclusion of a modern reimagining of the iconic song “Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka,” with a new twist featuring Vedang Raina’s vocal performance. As the film transitions to streaming, Jigra promises to reach a wider audience, offering a suspense-filled narrative that will likely attract viewers on Netflix.
