Jigra Movie Review
OTT release details
For fans eager to catch ‘Jigra’ from the comfort of their homes, according to Economic Times,
Netflix
has acquired the digital rights to the film. Although the streaming platform has not yet announced an official release date for ‘Jigra’, it is expected to be available for streaming in late November or early December. This timeline aligns with the typical seven to eight-week theatrical window before films transition to OTT platforms.
In an interview with Tried & Refused Productions, Alia expressed that her choice to explore action films is rooted in a desire to challenge conventional gender roles in cinema. She stated, “It’s cool ya to see a woman fight and really fight, and you do not really have to think that this is a woman fighting. It’s just a human being fighting for whatever x, y, z reason.” This perspective underscores her commitment to portraying strong female characters who resonate with audiences beyond their gender.
As ‘Jigra’ continues its theatrical run amidst mixed reviews and box office challenges, fans can look forward to its upcoming OTT release on Netflix. With its blend of action and emotional depth, the film promises to resonate with audiences once it becomes available for streaming.
