“Jigra” had a decent start at the box office, but it did not outperform some of the other big releases of the year. The film’s performance was particularly affected by the release of “Vettaiyan,” which features a star-studded cast including Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan. Additionally, “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” also posed stiff competition.
Despite these challenges, “Jigra” managed to draw a significant number of viewers, especially in the evening and night shows. The film’s performance is expected to improve over the weekend as more people find time to visit theaters.
The future performance of “Jigra” will largely depend on word of mouth. Early reviews have been mixed, with some praising the performances and action sequences, while others have pointed out flaws in the storyline. If the film manages to garner positive word of mouth, it could see a significant boost in its box office collections over the weekend.
Conclusion
“Jigra” had a decent opening day at the box office with a worldwide collection of ₹4.25 crore. The film’s occupancy rates varied throughout the day, with the highest numbers seen in the evening and night shows. While it faced tough competition from other releases, there is still hope for the film to perform better over the weekend. Fans of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina are eagerly waiting to see how the film fares in the coming days.
