Another netizen wrote, "Am I the only one who actually liked it, this trailer doesn't seem depressing like the teaser which is quite a positive sign for me. Also seems like something fresh after a while. Alia's acting is like fine, but Vedang in his few glimpses shows some promise, hope he does well! (sic.)"

"I lovedddd it. It seems really fresh, different and interesting. Finally something that STANDS OUT. And the aesthetics and the cinematography 🤌🏻. The bond bw alia and vedang's characters seems so powerful and intense. I think it's safe to say it will be a good movie since the cast>>> and the premise>>> everyone's gonna act to the T. Really looking forward to it!! (sic.)" Said another.

'Jigra' also features a captivating soundtrack, including the popular track 'Chal Kudiye,' reuniting Alia Bhatt with Diljit Dosanjh. A recreated version of the classic song 'Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka' is also included in the teaser, showcasing Vedang Raina's vocal talent.
