Produced by [[Karan Johar]], Apoorva Mehta, [[Alia Bhatt]], Shaheen Bhatt and Soumen Mishra under [[Dharma Productions]] and Eternal Sunshine Productions. It stars Alia Bhatt as a troubled young woman who must rescue her brother (played by [[Vedang Raina]]) from prison. [[Principal photography]] took place in [[Mumbai]] and [[Singapore]] from October 2023 to February 2024. ''Jigra'' was theatrically released worldwide on 11 October 2024, coinciding with [[Vijayadashami]], to mixed reviews from critics.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra,' directed by Vasan Bala, gets a new release date |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/alia-bhatts-jigra-directed-by-vasan-bala-gets-a-new-release-date/article68285150.ece |website=The Hindu |language=en-IN |date=13 June 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.news18.com/movies/vasan-bala-says-karan-johar-has-his-back-amid-jigra-controversies-ye-sab-jo-jaawe-no-matter-9087978.html|title=Vasan Bala Says Karan Johar Has His Back Amid Jigra Controversies: 'Ye Sab Jo Jaawe, No Matter.|publisher=News18}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> The film emerged as a [[box-office bomb]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/vasan-bala-says-jigras-box-office-performance-was-his-responsibility-alia-bhatt-trusted-me-with-that-choice-101729482941307.html|title=Vasan Bala says Jigra's box office performance was his responsibility: 'Alia Bhatt trusted me with that choice'|website=[[Hindustan Times]]|access-date=21 October 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/jigra-director-vasan-bala-holds-himself-responsible-for-the-films-failure-at-the-box-office-read-here/articleshow/114419695.cms|title='Jigra' director Vasan Bala holds himself responsible for the film's failure at the box office; Read here|website=[[Times of India]]|access-date=21 October 2024}}</ref> ==Plot== Satya is a young woman who has faced more than her fair share of struggles. Growing up with her brother Ankur after their parents’ tragic deaths, the siblings became inseparable, relying on each other entirely. Their lives are stable but modest under the care of a distant uncle. This quiet life takes a dramatic turn when Ankur, while on a business trip with a reckless cousin, is accused of possessing drugs. In this foreign land with unforgiving drug laws, Ankur’s case swiftly escalates, and he is sentenced to death, devastating Satya. Determined to rescue her brother, Satya refuses to accept the grim fate handed to him. She travels to the country where Ankur is imprisoned, finding herself entangled in a complex legal and social landscape. To navigate this foreign justice system, she enlists the help of two unlikely allies: Bhatia, a former gangster whose son faces a similar predicament, and Muthu, an ex-policeman who deeply regrets his role in a previous wrongful conviction. Together, they form an unusual trio, each motivated by personal loss or guilt, and attempt to rescue Ankur and others unjustly condemned alongside him. The rescue mission is meticulously planned, yet fraught with complications. Satya’s group tries to orchestrate a covert escape by tampering with the prison’s power grid, aiming to disable the security system. But as they launch their plan, they discover that their efforts are only partially effective, forcing Satya to rely on Bhatia’s network of underworld contacts. When subtlety fails, the group turns to a bolder approach, resorting to explosives to create chaos within the prison. The desperate plan culminates in a thrilling escape scene where prisoners flood the corridors amid the power outage. Despite the well-planned operation, Satya and Ankur’s freedom hangs by a thread. They flee by boat, pursued by prison guards led by the menacing warden, who nearly captures them. Just as it seems all is lost, Malaysian authorities intercept, foiling the warden's efforts due to a contact arranged by Muthu earlier. This intervention buys Satya and Ankur the freedom they need, finally allowing them to return to India. Back home, Satya and Ankur revisit the house where they last saw their parents, closing a traumatic chapter. The film ends on a haunting note as Satya, now victorious, confronts her memories and the lengths she was willing to go to protect her brother. == Cast == {{cast listing| * [[Alia Bhatt]] as Satyabhama "Satya" Anand ** Aashna Vaishnav as young Satya * [[Vedang Raina]] as Ankur Anand ** Ayaansh Kireet Solanki as young Ankur * Aditya Nanda as Kabir Mehtani * [[Manoj Pahwa]] as Shekhar Bhatia * [[Harssh A.

Growing up with her brother Ankur after their parents’ tragic deaths, the siblings became inseparable, relying on each other entirely. Their lives are stable but modest under the care of a distant uncle. This quiet life takes a dramatic turn when Ankur, while on a business trip with a reckless cousin, is accused of possessing drugs. In this foreign land with unforgiving drug laws, Ankur’s case swiftly escalates, and he is sentenced to death, devastating Satya. Determined to rescue her brother, Satya refuses to accept the grim fate handed to him. She travels to the country where Ankur is imprisoned, finding herself entangled in a complex legal and social landscape. To navigate this foreign justice system, she enlists the help of two unlikely allies: Bhatia, a former gangster whose son faces a similar predicament, and Muthu, an ex-policeman who deeply regrets his role in a previous wrongful conviction. Together, they form an unusual trio, each motivated by personal loss or guilt, and attempt to rescue Ankur and others unjustly condemned alongside him. The rescue mission is meticulously planned, yet fraught with complications. Satya’s group tries to orchestrate a covert escape by tampering with the prison’s power grid, aiming to disable the security system. But as they launch their plan, they discover that their efforts are only partially effective, forcing Satya to rely on Bhatia’s network of underworld contacts. When subtlety fails, the group turns to a bolder approach, resorting to explosives to create chaos within the prison. The desperate plan culminates in a thrilling escape scene where prisoners flood the corridors amid the power outage. Despite the well-planned operation, Satya and Ankur’s freedom hangs by a thread. They flee by boat, pursued by prison guards led by the menacing warden, who nearly captures them. Just as it seems all is lost, Malaysian authorities intercept, foiling the warden's efforts due to a contact arranged by Muthu earlier. This intervention buys Satya and Ankur the freedom they need, finally allowing them to return to India. Back home, Satya and Ankur revisit the house where they last saw their parents, closing a traumatic chapter. The film ends on a haunting note as Satya, now victorious, confronts her memories and the lengths she was willing to go to protect her brother. == Cast == {{cast listing| * [[Alia Bhatt]] as Satyabhama "Satya" Anand ** Aashna Vaishnav as young Satya * [[Vedang Raina]] as Ankur Anand ** Ayaansh Kireet Solanki as young Ankur * Aditya Nanda as Kabir Mehtani * [[Manoj Pahwa]] as Shekhar Bhatia * [[Harssh A.
