Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina’s jailbreak-drama ‘Jigra’ collects Rs 1.70 crore on 2nd Saturday, set to finish below Rs 35 crore net at the Indian box office
Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala and starring Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina, Manoj Pahwa, and others, had a low first week of Rs 22 crore at the India box office. It was the second most preferred Hindi movie option for the Dussehra holiday period, behind Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. The movie’s limited appeal, coupled with the mixed word of mouth, affected its box office prospects adversely. Jigra dropped on the second Friday, which was a bad result for a holdover release with no significant competition in its next week. It saw an expected growth of 70 percent on Saturday, as it collected Rs 1.70 crore.
Jigra Collects Rs 1.70 Crore On 2nd Saturday; 9 Day Cume Stands At Slightly Under Rs 25 Crore
The 9-day total of Jigra is slightly under Rs 25 crore and by the end of the second weekend, it will have netted Rs 26.50 crore. The film won’t be adding much after the second weekend. Despite yet another open week after the second to rake in the moolah, the Alia Bhatt movie will end up just doing around Rs 32-33 crore net. For a film starring a big, bankable actor like Alia Bhatt, the collections are catastrophic.
Jigra Will Have Grossed Rs 50 Crore Worldwide By The End Of The 2nd Weekend
The performance of Jigra is somewhat better internationally. It has grossed slightly over USD 2 million (Rs 17 crore) at the time of this article. By the end of its second Sunday (day 10), it will have crossed the Rs 50 crore gross worldwide mark. The movie should have actually been closing in on the Rs 100 crore gross worldwide mark at the end of the second weekend. Alia Bhatt gears up for a major return to the big screens with Alpha and Love And War. There also is a romantic movie script that she has shown keen interest in.
