Alia Bhatt and Divya Khosla.
Alia Bhatt’s film ‘Jigra’ hit the theaters last Friday. The film caused controversy after its premiere. Producer and actress Divya Khosla Kumar of ‘Savi’ took ‘Jigra’ to court and leveled many allegations against makers Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt. While Alia remained silent on these allegations, Karan Johar also responded in a strange way. Divya didn’t really like these replies and meanwhile a war started on social media. From Instagram to Twitter, their fans clashed with each other and everyone asked the same question: “Is Jigra a copy of Savi?” “Are there similarities between Jigra and Savi?” However, the makers of both films have not clarified these claims or answered these questions. That’s why we have brought the correct and accurate answer for you so that you know how much truth there is in whose claims.
Similarities Between “Savi” and “Jigra”
Yes, there are some similarities between both the films ‘Saavi’ and ‘Jigra’ but they are quite minor. There is a woman at the center of both films. The themes of both women’s films are quite similar, and the main characters of both films are busy saving their loved ones. In both films, a woman frees her close friend from prison. In “Savi”, a housewife tries to free her husband from a maximum security prison and somehow succeeds, while in “Jigra”, Alia Bhatt’s character tries to save her brother. The heroine Alia’s brother is in prison and a special plan is being prepared to get him out of there. While Divya Khosla Kumar gets the support of Anil Kapoor in ‘Savi’, Alia Bhatt gets the support of Manoj Pava.
What is the difference between them?
Apart from that, there is not a single scene in the movie that is the same. Both Alia and Divya Khosla are seen in one scene with messy hair and pointing a gun, but Alia is very confident in every action scene. While Divya Khosla Kumar is scared and helpless. Both of them’s courage was born out of compulsion, of course, but their self-confidence is different. Both heroines are makeup-free, but while Divya’s dressing style is entirely European, Alia’s is Korean-inspired. The stories of both films are emotional, but weak in many respects.
Is “Savi” the first film of its kind?
Recently, Divya Khosla mentioned the comparison between ‘Savi’ and ‘Jigra’ and said that the story of her film was inspired by the mythological story of Savitri and Satyavan. Compared to ‘Jigra’, he said, “Every film has its own journey.” Savi’s director and lead actress Divya Khosla admitted that both the films have their separate journeys. It also claimed to be the first film of its genre, but is its claim true? There are already many such women-centric films in India where the main character saved her loved one, and if Divya Khosla is talking about the first film with a woman in the lead role after being released from prison, then perhaps it would be Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol Forgetting the movie ‘Gupta’. In this video, Manisha Koiraya escapes from Bobby Deol’s prison.
Secret.
How did the dispute start?
The controversy between both films began when viewers noticed similarities between them. Divya accused Alia Bhatt of copying ‘Savi’. Jigra’s co-producer Karan Johar also responded to her words in a cryptic post and wrote, “The best response is silence.” After this incident, Divya Khosla also did not remain silent and made many other allegations. He said that Alia buys the movie tickets herself.
Misled.
How original is the plot of both?
However, it is worth noting that neither the plot of Alia’s “Jigra” nor Divya Khosla Kumar’s “Savi” is fully original. First, let’s talk about ‘Jigra’ which is more influenced by Sridevi and Sanday Dutt’s ‘Gumrah’ than ‘Savi’. Despite millions of claims, the plot of both films seemed similar to viewers. While in ‘Jigra’ Alia gets her brother out of jail, in ‘Gumrah’ Sanjay Dutt gets his sister out of jail. Both stories contain action and prison escape scenes. The only difference is that ‘Gumrah’ is of Indian origin while ‘Jigra’ is of Korean origin. This film, which will now be released in “Savi”, is also a remake of a Hollywood and French film. In 2008, the French film “Pour Allie” appeared on cinema screens. In 2010, there was an American remake titled “The Next Three Days”. Now, Divya’s ‘Savi’, which is its remake, is ready.
