Synopsis

Inspired by true events, Jigariyaa tells the story of Shyamlal "Shaamu" Gupta and Radhika "Radha" Sharma. Shaamu, the only son of Halwaai Ramlal Gupta, is a happy-go-lucky boy who lives in Agra. He spends his days writing poetry, admired by his motley group of good-for-nothing friends. Radhika, the only daughter of Pandit Shankar Dayal Sharma, is a well-educated and caring girl who helps her father in his endeavours as a social do-gooder and a man of high reputation in Mathura. Shaamu falls in love with Raadha at first sight, who is visiting her maternal grandmother’s house in Agra, thus beginning his quest to find this elusive girl in the streets of Agra. As they grow fond of each other, destiny takes another turn and the two lovers break apart.[2]
