Jigra first review out

The Alia Bhatt starrer will hit the big screens in India on October 11. However, an X user Umair Sandhu, who claims to be a member of the Overseas Censor Board, watched the film and has shared the first review of it. The user seems to be unimpressed with the drama and called the movie ‘dull and boring'.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter), the user wrote, “First Review #Jigra from Overseas Censor Board! It doesn't work. It is #AliaBhatt’s weakest & Boring film to date! He did too much overacting in movie. Weird & Dull Hollywood kind of thriller with Nonsense plot ! ZERO ENTERTAINMENT for Masses. Only for Class audience.”
 

However, Alia Bhatt 's mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor, who attended the Jigra screening on October 9, had a different view. She shared a photo of Alia on her Instagram stories and wrote, “Alia you nailed it” adding five stars.
