Now streaming on Sun NXT, Jigris quietly slips into the Telugu OTT space without much noise—but once you hit play, it makes sure you’re paying attention. This isn’t a glossy, overcooked commercial entertainer. Instead, Jigris leans into a raw, grounded tone and sticks to it with surprising confidence.
The film thrives on mood more than spectacle. From the opening stretch itself, the narrative pulls you into a world that feels lived-in and slightly uncomfortable—in a good way. The storytelling is deliberate, sometimes slow, but never careless. The director allows scenes to breathe, trusting the audience to read between the lines rather than spoon-feeding emotions. That restraint becomes one of the film’s biggest strengths.
Performances carry Jigris forward. The lead actor delivers a controlled, natural performance, avoiding loud dramatics and opting for subtle expression instead. Supporting characters are well-cast and feel authentic, especially in emotionally tense moments where silence speaks louder than dialogue. The background score complements the film’s gritty texture without overpowering it, and the cinematography keeps things moody, earthy, and real.
That said, Jigris isn’t for everyone. Viewers looking for fast-paced twists or mass moments might find the film a bit understated. But if you enjoy realistic dramas that focus on character, atmosphere, and inner conflict, this one lands well. It may not scream for attention—but it stays with you longer than you expect.
Verdict:
Jigris is a solid, no-frills Telugu film that values storytelling over noise. Streaming now on Sun NXT, it’s worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something grounded and intense rather than flashy.
