Watch the Jigra Teaser Trailer Below
The teaser for Jigra opens with a sombre Alia Bhatt, who appears in a dishevelled ponytail, speaking to Manoj Pahwa’s character. Her character’s introspection sets a poignant tone as she recounts the tragic events that have shaped her life. The story unfolds with the revelation that her father died by suicide following her mother’s death, leaving Alia’s character, Satya, and her brother Vedang (played by Vedang Raina) orphaned. This personal loss fuels Satya’s fierce determination to protect her brother, making him the centre of her world.
The teaser shows a gripping narrative where Vedang’s character finds himself imprisoned and subjected to torture. This crucial turn of events escalates Satya’s resolve to safeguard her brother at any cost. The teaser is punctuated with high-octane action sequences, showcasing Satya’s readiness to resort to violence if necessary. The accompanying soundtrack—a modern rendition of “Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka” from the classic 1971 film Hare Rama Hare Krishna—adds a nostalgic touch, enhancing the emotional depth of the teaser. This cover, performed by Vedang and featuring additional lyrics by Varun Grover, perfectly complements the intense visuals.
Jigra embraces Hindi cinema’s rich heritage, which is evident in several aspects of the teaser. Vasan Bala, known for his love of nostalgic references, incorporates a tribute to the iconic Angry Young Man persona popularized by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s. A memorable line in the teaser has Manoj Pahwa’s character advising Alia, “Bach ke niklana hai, Bachchan nahi banna (You’ve to escape unscathed, not become Bachchan).” In response, Alia’s character firmly declares, “Ab toh Bachchan hi banna hai (There’s no option but to become Bachchan now),” as she prepares for action with a weapon in hand.
