Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra' Debuts on Netflix After Lackluster Box Office Run

The action-thriller film, directed by Vasan Bala, explores themes of family and sacrifice and is now available for streaming globally on Netflix.

Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, premiered on Netflix on December 6, 2024, following its theatrical release on October 11, 2024.
The film tells the story of a devoted sister who embarks on a dangerous mission to save her brother after he is imprisoned abroad and sentenced to death.
Produced by Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra is co-written by Vasan Bala and Debashish Irengbam, with a cast that includes Manoj Pahwa and Vivek Gomber in supporting roles.
The movie faced controversies, including allegations of plagiarism and accusations of manipulated box office numbers, which were denied by the filmmakers.
Jigra struggled at the box office, earning ₹31.98 crore in India and ₹56.93 crore globally, but fans hope its OTT release will attract a wider audience and appreciation.
