She was very good in this. Anushka gets a lot of dislike on IF (or apathy might be more accurate), but I thought NH10 was her strongest performance ever. Had 2015 not been Deepika's year with Piku and Bajirao Mastani, I think Anushka could have or should have won the Filmfare.
NH10 was a exciting thriller and you can feel the raw emotion even from the posters. Anushka seems half-dead emotionally and physically like she's on the verge of collapse from that last poster.
In contrast, in the Alia posters for Jigra, she seems like she's posing and not actually playing a character. Especially with the airbrushed look that makes her look younger, like she's still a child. I don't believe in this performance except for a little girl playing dress-up. Her physicality does not seem like she can even lift that hammer. The bullet proof vest seems too large for her, like it's overwhelming her, much like her sarees in Rocky aur Rani did.
