Movie Overview

Jigra is a drama and action film directed by Vasan Bala, starring Alia Bhatt as Naina, a young woman who must navigate a world of societal restrictions and family expectations to stand up for herself and her loved ones.

Plot Summary

In a quiet Indian town, Naina (played by Alia Bhatt) is a vivacious young woman with a dream to live independently and freely. Raised in a conservative family, she has always been taught to stay within societal boundaries, led by her father, Raghuveer Singh (played by Sanjay Kapoor), a former army officer whose stringent values shape the family's reputation.

When Naina's childhood friend, Aman (Vijay Varma), returns to town, they rekindle their friendship. Aman, however, has connections to a notorious local criminal gang. While his intentions are pure, his return brings unexpected trouble into Naina's life. The gang demands Aman’s loyalty and starts exerting pressure, which inadvertently threatens Naina's family.

As threats escalate, Naina finds herself torn between protecting her family and standing up to the gang. Raghuveer, bound by his principles, insists on involving the police, but Naina understands the gang’s reach and fears this may only make matters worse. With her family at risk, Naina takes the brave decision to face the gang on her terms, challenging societal expectations and stepping into a role that no one imagined for her.

In a series of intense confrontations, Naina discovers her own inner strength, or "jigra," facing physical and emotional battles to protect those she loves. Her journey from a sheltered young woman to a fearless protector becomes the heart of the film, depicting themes of resilience, courage, and the power of self-belief.
