Pluck Up Your Courage For Vasan Bala’s “Jigra”!

Fear is a Reaction but Courage is a Decision. So pluck up some courage for a newly-released master-blaster Hindi action-thriller, "Jigra"! Produced by Karan Johar, and written and directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra was released in theaters on October 11, 2024. Female-led action-thrillers are rare in Bollywood, and this is one of those. It stars award-winning actress Alia Bhatt opposite Vedang Raina. Jigra (2024) Synopsis: Electrocution, the word may terrify you. It may even petrify some others who may be facing the death penalty and will be executed by this horrifying process. As high-voltage electricity will run down the nerves, horrific death is certain within a few seconds! In a fictional country that resembles Singapore, a young Indian man named Ankur Anand (Vedang Raina) is brutally tortured in a harsh prison cell. The prison is colossal and nightmarish. It’s one of those kinds that is impossible to escape. Jigra: The Unforgettable Tale Of A Sister And Her Brother! https://youtu.be/pLPHQaumq4g?si=cF2-SIA721s4OvCZ Ankur has been imprisoned against false charges of drug trafficking in the country. A crime he never committed. He faces the death penalty where he has three months until his execution by electrocution. On his wrist, there’s a “rakhi”, a sacred thread that a sister ties to her brother’s wrist in India. Hold on to your breaths as his sister Satya (Alia Bhatt) comes wrecking into the country looking for her brother to attempt the unthinkable! Break him free from that murderous prison and bring him back to safety in India. A kind of prison break attempting which one has to fight with death. Will she be successful in her effort? Well, she has a hell lot of bloody fights coming her way! Watch "Jigra" to experience action, horror, and suspense combined as Alia Bhatt transforms from a Barbie doll to Annabelle to save her on-screen brother, Vedang Raina! Introducing Alia Bhatt In Jigra: The Track “Chal Kudiye” Featuring Diljit Dosanjh! https://youtu.be/FewWUHxY79w?si=qmflEZgwPrcKEgOm Jigra (2024) Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/3uE0RuQndZc?si=Wh6mWaIhsf0ZlI3z The Good: People may have varied opinions about Karan Johar but I have to say, the guy creates mass-appealing cinema! With Jigra, he has changed the face of the action hero-centric Hindi cinema. Just look at his masterstroke! He made Jigra within a budget of INR 90 Crores and even before its theatrical opening, the film crossed that benchmark! Such is the hype of this action-thriller. We can now expect women to take over as new action avatars. Ali Bhatt has proved with her vibrant and daredevil role in Jigra that the era of men as action heroes is slowly fading away. Female action-centric mass-appealing cinema is becoming the new trend. We have seen a lot of female action-centric Hollywood movies, but now it’s time to experience some Bollywood ones as well! Alia Bhatt’s character is invincible in this movie. She entirely carries the film on her shoulders. Her action stunts and bloody fights during her quest to save her brother will blow up your mind. Her character portrays everlasting determination. She won’t rest until she rescues him from the dreadful prison. If you have come across one of Jigra’s promotional posters, you will see Alia standing by a massive dragon on her side. That dragon symbolizes “Tiamat” from Mesopotamian mythology, the Goddess who protects the universe. The Track “Tenu Sang Rakhna” From Jigra https://youtu.be/OkpIoEC44kk?si=48k3KumvTAgCe4D_ As the story unfolds, you will get to know about the real villain who is behind trapping Ankur into false charges. There are certain raw action sequences performed by Alia that are unbearably bloody and violent that you will be forced to close your eyes until the scenes end. Havoc and destruction, bloodbath, extreme gun violence, and rumbling bomb blasts; the scenes have it all! Even if the plot seems familiar, a sister on her quest to rescue her brother, the screenplay is so unpredictable and suspenseful that upon watching one instance, you would never in your dreams imagine what’s going to happen in the next. In short, Alia Bhatt has done everything possible a star actress can with her stellar performance. She has made us cry with sisterly emotions, horrified us with her madness and determination, and suffered severe trauma herself in the violent stunt and action sequences. She has created a revolution in Indian cinema by conveying that it’s not always the macho hero who saves the day, but a heroine can also bar all obstacles to save a poor lad in distress! As for Vedang Raina, this young Archies-fame actor is creating waves in Bollywood nowadays. Even if his songs in Jigra are not up to the mark, still, with his acting, he is sure to gain some spotlight. I wonder what’s coming up next for him. Jigra is exceptionally emotional as well. You will connect to the backstory which shows a sister’s concern, care, and love for her brother. When you happen to watch a 2-hour and 35-minute action movie without blinking an eyelid, that’s when you will agree that besides the movie’s plot, the screenplay and editing are superb. Also, the camerawork, sound effects, background music, and special effects are brilliant. They will make you feel the vibe and energy of Hollywood action movies. The Title Track of Jigra Sung By Vedang Raina https://youtu.be/jErAEfA0xXw?si=S45Ug_iJ3aFI7yWj The Bad: You will be disappointed to learn that even if Alia has portrayed her violent side in this mass-appealing action-thriller, her character fails to build up. If you have watched the mega action-thriller “KGF”, in the end, the protagonist Rocky enters the Parliament and shoots a politician in broad daylight. We can expect this from the character Rocky (played by Yash) because the filmmakers of KGF had taken their time to build the daring trait of that character in both KGF: Part 1 and its sequel. Even if writer and director Vasan Bala has made a great attempt to create a terrifying and suspenseful storyline, his approach toward building up Alia’s character in the movie seems weak. You will witness a petite girl coming out of nowhere and causing a mass massacre. This looks unreal. He should have considered introducing some scenes in between that would have built up that character’s image, so that her character would have made the audience believe, “Yes, she can do it. Just like Rocky!” For example, scenes of her failed jailbreak attempts could have been introduced, following that, her success scene. That would have appeared more realistic. Even if female-centric cinema is trending nowadays, lead actresses have a lot to work on their dialogue deliveries to match up to the style, aura, and personalities of our action heroes in Hindi cinema. That’s what distinguishes a female-led action film from a male-led one. In Jigra, the action might be impressive, but the dialogues don’t seem to create an impact. At times, I felt as if Alia in her character was mewing with her shrunken voice. The Nostalgic Track “Phoolon Ka Taron Ka” Remastered By Vedang Raina https://youtu.be/YXJOEpzB-r4?si=u5fvoWlbYztJ7ef1 The Verdict: Nowadays, Bollywood is resorting to making prison-break movies. If you had watched the recently released suspense-thriller “Savi”, you would witness another awesome and cleverly-planned prison break. But Jigra bars it all! This is raw, bloodthirsty, and gruesome; a true no-holds-barred! This petrifying action-thriller tells us that family comes first. You need to care for your loved ones. If they are in trouble, taking drastic steps is justified. The astonishing fact is that Ranbir Kapoor did the toxic action-thriller “Animal”. Now, it’s his wife’s turn to follow his legacy by coming out with her own version of Animal in the form of Jigra. Even if non-toxic, unlike Animal, Jigra still is blood-curdling! What’s more, Alia happens to be one of the producers of this movie along with Karan Johar. Even with its thrilling story, suspenseful and action-laden screenplay, and tremendous mass appeal, Jigra falls short of a masterpiece. The character portrayal appears unreal which makes its second half direly fictional. But still, if you want to witness the innocent Brahmastra girl transitioning into her raw action avatar, then visit your nearest theaters to experience the violence!

[bloom2003]

April 4th week.

Hey, everyone. I am back with my 4th-week blog for media studies. I learned really good and interesting topics. So, let us start with our 1st topic this week.

The first thing we did was storytelling. Where we were told to draft a story, where ma'am gave us a table for the genre, settings, characters, objects.

Where purvi my friend gave me the combination of the genre action, setting as forest, character as a businessman, and object a piano. I have to draft a story based on these 4. My story was: there was a businessman who had a big multi-million company. He uses to earn a lot... But he was tired of working and didn’t have peace in his life. So, he handles all his work to his manager and leaves for a nice holiday. He decides to go to a forest for tracking and peace. now, in the middle of the forest, he found an abundant village where people use to live once, but now there was no sign of life left everything was either burnet or been broken intently. He saw a weird looking piano kept between the village. He goes near the piano and imagines the who may have used the piano, someone must have played it for his love, kids must have learned it, must anything before that crises. He felt bad for the villagers who died. He moves away from that piano and changes his way towards the city, but suddenly he hears some footsteps behind him. As he looks behind there were two men following him. he stops and calls them and ask why are u stalking me? They said if u don’t let us pay $20,000, we will kill you. He began arguing with them the entered into a fight. Where one of the men punches him on the head. He faints and when he opened his eyes after a few hours he was found naked outside of his own house.

                      Technological and Convergence.

The term convergence means combining different forms of media in order to make a single form of media. Example: the mobile phone.

There are two types of convergence:

1. media convergence.

2. technological convergence.

The phrase technological stands for, a single device doing the job of several devices.

Technological convergence is the tendency that as technology changes, the different technological system evolved towards performing a similar task.

                                      INDIAN CINEMA HISTORY.

Q. How did cinema start in India?

Ans. Beginning of the Talkies. The first ever talkie 'Alam Ara' by Ardeshir Irani was screened in Bombay in 1931. It was the first sound film in India. The release of Alam Ara started a new era in the history of Indian cinema.

Next in the row is GENRE AND SUB GENRE’S.

A film genre is identifiable types, categories, classification or groups of film that have similar techniques or convention such as contents, structure, theme, mood, plot, setting, props, styles, situation, period, narrative events and motives. 

                                                Sub - Genere

Sub-genres are identifiable subclasses within the larger film genre, with there own distinctive subject matter, style, formula, icon graphics, etc.         

                                                Primary film genre

Romance, horror, comedy, drama, action, mystery, sci-fi, epic, crime, war, musical.

POSTER ANALYSIS.

We analyzed Annabelle’s poster. Where we have to interpret on the color, font, and character present on the poster.

Now we were taught about four stages of production.

The three main stages of production are:

Pre-production: Planning, scripting & storyboarding, etc. 

Production: The actual shooting/recording. 

Post-production: Everything between production and creating the final master copy.

                                                     story arc.

A story arc is an extended or continuing storyline in episodic storytelling media such as television, comic books, comic strips, board games, video games, and films with each episode following a dramatic arc. On a television program, for example, the story would unfold over many episodes.

Transformation: completely changed.

Growth: character overcome something mentally (positive).

Fall: character turns from good to bad.

                                                  8 characters.

HERO- PROTAGONIST.

HELPER- WHO ADIS PROTAGONIST.

DISPATCHER- SENDS TO REPAIR.

DONOR- PROVIDE SOMETHING.

PRINCESS/ HEROINE- NEED RESCUE.

VILLAN- CAUSE DISRUPTION.

FALES HERO- APPEAR TO BE GOOD.

PRINCESS FATHER- REWARD’S HERO.

                              TODOROV NARRATOLOGY.

Here I am done with this week's blog. There is much more to come in next week.

Netflix horror series creator can’t speak his show’s language

“GHOUL” is India’s second series to premiere on Netflix. It’s set in a dystopian future by which the nation is dominated by an authoritarian authorities — with officers in a secret army detention heart interrogating a terrorist who won’t be fully human. The series — starring Radhika Apte, who starred in India’s first Netflix series, “Sacred Video games” — was created by Patrick Graham and produced by horrormeister Jason Blum (“Get Out,” “The Purge”). We requested Graham about making the scary three-part Hindu series and dealing with a language barrier. The place did the thought for “Ghoul” come from? It sounds silly to say it, nevertheless it’s true: I used to be doing analysis about torture in trendy warfare and through that point had a nightmare about being in a detention heart the place a terrifying prisoner was introduced in who freaked out the guards in addition to the opposite prisoners. I awakened and wrote down the thought as a result of it appeared like a cool story —although on the time I didn’t know precisely what was so scary in regards to the prisoner. I believed it could be enjoyable to analysis an Arabic, folkloric monster, which is the place I come across the parable of the “Ghul,” which had so many cool traits about it that I immediately realized it could be an amazing match for the essential define of the story. You’re the solely Western author/ director within the Hindi movie business. Does that offer you a singular storytelling perspective? I got here right here in 2010 to work with a pal from London Movie College and scope out what alternatives the Hindi movie business needed to provide. After a few years of writing on spec and making an attempt to flog scripts, I ultimately started working freelance on TV commercials earlier than managing to pitch “Ghoul” to Phantom Movies. I feel that any foreigner in a special tradition may have their very own distinctive takes on the place to have moved to and this would possibly enable for some novel approaches to storytelling. Having grown up on Western cinema, inherently I most likely have a barely totally different cinematic language, which I hope audiences right here discover authentic and fascinating. Nevertheless it must be stated that as a result of I’ve grown professionally throughout the Hindi movie and tv business I do think about myself to be an Indian filmmaker — and I’m pleased with that truth. What was the largest problem of creating “Ghoul”? Sadly I nonetheless don’t speak Hindi so I had to verify I had individuals round me on set who might monitor the supply of the strains from the actors and provides me suggestions about intonation and supply, and many others. We ready for the language barrier and I feel we comprehensively overcame it. We had been taking pictures in a darkish underground basement for 30 days, so the environment might get just a little oppressive at occasions — and, as a result of uncooked sewage was flowing beneath us, just a little smelly. Are you hoping “Ghoul” will attraction extra to an American viewers or an Indian viewers? I’d hope it should attraction equally to each however for various causes. There’s a hole out there for the Indian audiences in the case of horror. Indian audiences flock to see “Annabelle Creation,” “It” and the “Conjuring” movies — however aside from a couple of notable exceptions, there isn’t that a lot homegrown horror or style tales to get their tooth into. Alternatively, after all I’m a Westerner, so I do need my story to be common sufficient that it may be a worthy addition to the horror style within the West.

You will connect to the backstory which shows a sister’s concern, care, and love for her brother. When you happen to watch a 2-hour and 35-minute action movie without blinking an eyelid, that’s when you will agree that besides the movie’s plot, the screenplay and editing are superb. Also, the camerawork, sound effects, background music, and special effects are brilliant. They will make you feel the vibe and energy of Hollywood action movies. The Title Track of Jigra Sung By Vedang Raina https://youtu.be/jErAEfA0xXw?si=S45Ug_iJ3aFI7yWj The Bad: You will be disappointed to learn that even if Alia has portrayed her violent side in this mass-appealing action-thriller, her character fails to build up. If you have watched the mega action-thriller “KGF”, in the end, the protagonist Rocky enters the Parliament and shoots a politician in broad daylight. We can expect this from the character Rocky (played by Yash) because the filmmakers of KGF had taken their time to build the daring trait of that character in both KGF: Part 1 and its sequel. Even if writer and director Vasan Bala has made a great attempt to create a terrifying and suspenseful storyline, his approach toward building up Alia’s character in the movie seems weak. You will witness a petite girl coming out of nowhere and causing a mass massacre. This looks unreal. He should have considered introducing some scenes in between that would have built up that character’s image, so that her character would have made the audience believe, “Yes, she can do it. Just like Rocky!” For example, scenes of her failed jailbreak attempts could have been introduced, following that, her success scene. That would have appeared more realistic. Even if female-centric cinema is trending nowadays, lead actresses have a lot to work on their dialogue deliveries to match up to the style, aura, and personalities of our action heroes in Hindi cinema. That’s what distinguishes a female-led action film from a male-led one. In Jigra, the action might be impressive, but the dialogues don’t seem to create an impact. At times, I felt as if Alia in her character was mewing with her shrunken voice. The Nostalgic Track “Phoolon Ka Taron Ka” Remastered By Vedang Raina https://youtu.be/YXJOEpzB-r4?si=u5fvoWlbYztJ7ef1 The Verdict: Nowadays, Bollywood is resorting to making prison-break movies. If you had watched the recently released suspense-thriller “Savi”, you would witness another awesome and cleverly-planned prison break. But Jigra bars it all! This is raw, bloodthirsty, and gruesome; a true no-holds-barred! This petrifying action-thriller tells us that family comes first. You need to care for your loved ones. If they are in trouble, taking drastic steps is justified. The astonishing fact is that Ranbir Kapoor did the toxic action-thriller “Animal”. Now, it’s his wife’s turn to follow his legacy by coming out with her own version of Animal in the form of Jigra. Even if non-toxic, unlike Animal, Jigra still is blood-curdling! What’s more, Alia happens to be one of the producers of this movie along with Karan Johar. Even with its thrilling story, suspenseful and action-laden screenplay, and tremendous mass appeal, Jigra falls short of a masterpiece. The character portrayal appears unreal which makes its second half direly fictional. But still, if you want to witness the innocent Brahmastra girl transitioning into her raw action avatar, then visit your nearest theaters to experience the violence!
