Jhamkudi Week 1 Box Office: Gujarati horror-com breaks records with 5.50 crores earnings, becomes a super-hit
Gujarati film Jhamkudi, directed by Umang Vyas and starring Manasi Parekh and Viraj Ghelani among many others had a spectacular week 1 at the box office as it netted around Rs 5.50 crores. More than the collections that Jhamkudi has put up, it is the trend that it has observed that is extremely impressive. It is unthinkable but the movie netted higher on its first Wednesday and first Thursday than its opening day.
Jhamkudi Netts Rs 5.50 Crores In Its First Week; Emerges A Super-Hit
With no new significant releases to hinder its run, Jhamkudi looks to either match or surpass its first weekend nett in its second weekend. If that happens, the movie won’t just nett over Rs 10 crores but also fancy a lifetime total of around Rs 15 crores nett, something that has not been seen for a Gujarati movie since 3 Ekka that released back in August, 2023.
Jhamkudi Is Operating At A Record 100 Shows In Mumbai
The horror-comedy genre is generally very lucrative and when saleable stars like Manasi Parekh and Viraj Ghelani are a part of a horror-comedy, the numbers pretty much explode. The movie is operating at a record 100 shows in Mumbai and that’s very encouraging as it shows the potential that Gujarati movies have in a high contributing city like Mumbai.
