The most recent film to be released by Alia Bhatt, Jigra, is exhibiting signs of moderate growth at the box office, despite the fact that it is facing intense competition. Despite the fact that it was released on October 11, 2024, well before the Dussehra weekend, the film only made a meagre Rs 4 crore on its first day of release. Jigra had gathered considerable pace by the time it reached its second day, at which point it had earned 6.5 crore, increasing the total collection to 11.05 crore within just two days as a result. This expansion can be linked to the holiday weekend, which has a history of increasing the number of people who visit movie theatres.The entire success of the picture has been slower than anticipated, which is especially surprising when one considers the star power of Alia Bhatting. Jigra, on the other hand, is battling head-on with Rajkummar Rao’s Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, a comedy-drama that has performed marginally better than Jigra, bringing in Rs 5 crore on its first day of release. The genre of Jigra, which is a prison-break thriller, may not appeal to a large audience as much as its competitor does, despite the fact that Jigra has made an effect.As of right now, Jigra has surpassed the 20 crore barrier, but its lifetime box office collection is anticipated to reach approximately 30 crore. This figure is contingent upon how well it does during weekdays and in comparison to other significant films that are scheduled to be released in the near future.This is the Hindustan Times. There is still a window of opportunity for the picture to make up for lost ground before major Diwali films such as Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 enter theatres, despite the fact that it has had a difficult time dominating the genre.
Jigra is Bhatt’s second production following the critically acclaimed Darlings. It was directed by Vasan Bala and Bhatt herself was a co-producer from the beginning. Fans are still showing up to watch the thriller, expecting that it will build momentum over the next few weeks, despite the fact that the film may not have received unanimous acclaim. Bhatt’s performance has been lauded, and fans are still showing up.
