The much-awaited teaser trailer for Alia Bhatt’s Jigra flick dropped today, and it makes you feel a wide range of emotions, including love, hate, wrath, and the need to survive. At the start of the trailer, we witness Alia Bhatt meticulously recording every detail of her hazardous condition.
“Ma ko bhagwan le gaye. Papa ne khud ki jaan le li. Dur ki rishtedar ne panah di aur bhari kiraya wasool kiya. Choro na Bhatiya saab. Kahaani bohat lambi hai aur bhai ke paas waqt bohat kam. (God snatched away mother. Father took his own life. Distant relatives gave us shelter and we had to pay a heavy rent for it. Leave it, Bhatiya saab. The story is long and bhai has a little time),” the actress said in the video.
After that, the action-packed, violent scenes take over, and Alia Bhatt makes an appearance with an axe and a sharp object. Vedang Raina, who plays Alia Bhatt’s brother in the movie, shows up handcuffed in the later part. In one scene, Alia hears Manoj Pahwa say, “Bachchan nehi ban na. Bach ke nikal na hai (Don’t need to be a Bachchan. Learn how to escape).” To which RRR the actress replied, “Ab toh Bachchan hi ban na hai (Its the time to a Bachchan now).”
Vedang and Alia’s sibling dance adds life to the bleak and depressing facts of their surroundings. As Vedang prepares to go, Alia gives him a strong embrace in the teaser’s last moments. Another version of the song ‘Phoolon Ka Taron Ka’ from Hare Rama Hare Krishna movie’s plays entire time, in the background. What offence has Vedang engaged in? To what extent will Alia go to free her brother from prison? We will have to wait until October 11 to find out the answers.
Jigra is Alia Bhatt’s second production project following the 2022 thriller-comedy Darlings on Netflix. This project is being co-produced by her and Dharma Productions, led by Karan Johar. Check out the teaser trailer here:
