Alia Bhatt-Diljit Dosanjh’s 'Chal Kudiye' Out, Netizens React
Earlier, the makers released a special song, Chal Kudiye sung by Diljit Dosanjh. Released on September 17, the track serves as a tribute to women's strength and courage. The song, written by Harmanjeet Singh with music composed by Manpreet Singh, showcases their vocals and a powerful message. Here's the song and how netizens reacted to it.
didn't dislike chal kudiye song but it feels decent at best. honestly I feel like they autotuned Alia's voice way too much, her natural voice is better

btw Alia's look in the song is FIRE
Ikk kudi > chal kudiye

If Alia’s part in "Chal Kudiye" had been sung by Diljit or another female singer, the song would have been a perfect 10/10.

Watch Alia Bhatt's Jigra Trailer
In the teaser released on September 8, Alia's character is seen in a vulnerable, messy ponytail look, sharing her painful past with Manoj Pahwa's character. She reveals how her father took his own life after her mother's death, leaving her and her brother as orphans. Satya, now the only one left to protect him, becomes fiercely devoted to her brother's safety.
Things take a dark turn when Vedang's character gets imprisoned and tortured. Alia’s character is shown going to extreme lengths, even resorting to violence, to protect her brother. The teaser, set to a cover of Phoolon Ka Taaro Ka, is reprised by Achint and sung by Vedang, with new lyrics by Varun Grover, adding a haunting backdrop to the story.
Here's What Netizens Are Buzzing About It
Fans have flooded social media with their excitement and praise for the intense sibling drama. Many also noted that Alia Bhatt's emotional portrayal as Satya reminded them of Gangubai Kathiawadi, "raw and powerful."
#JigraTeaserTrailer #AliaBhatt is unarguably the best actor of the current generation in the Indian Cinema across languages. I don't remember any other actor who accomplished so much in such a short career.

#JigraTeaserTrailer dialogue reminded me of #GangubaiKathiawadi where #AliaBhatt recreated the Bachchan style from Deewar.
