Reception

A critic from The Hindu labelled the film as "backward" and criticising the theme of portraying people with dark skin tones as inferior. [6] Likewise, the critic from The Times of India noted the film is "funny for all the wrong reasons". [7] A reviewer from Deccan Chronicle gave a more favourable report, saying "the director has made a good attempt with a novel idea and even sends out a strong message", but "where he errs is in its execution" and adds had "he concentrated on an interesting screenplay with few more meaningful dialogues, the film would have been an engaging fare". [8] Sify wrote, "Over all, Jigina is yet another average venture with usual cliches but still watchable once for the strong message". [9]
