Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina's jail breaker thriller 'Jigra' was released in theatres on October 11. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film is based on a brother-sister relationship. But despite Alia Bhatt's star power, the film has failed to impress the audience. 'Jigra' has been struggling to make its mark at the box office since day one, and the film's first week collections have been quite disappointing.
Status of earnings of 'Jigra'
Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra' was considered to be the biggest Hindi film released on Dussehra. There were a lot of expectations about the film, but when it was shown in theaters, the audience was not attracted to it. On the first day, the shows were canceled in many places due to lack of audience.
There was a slight improvement in the film's collection on the weekend, but the collection of 'Jigra' kept decreasing continuously during the weekdays. Apart from this, Divya Khosla, wife of T Series owner Bhushan Kumar, accused Alia Bhatt of fake collection regarding the story of the film. Divya said that the story of the film is similar to her film 'Saavi', which had a negative impact on the box office performance of 'Jigra'.
first week collection
If we talk about the film's earnings, 'Jigra' has grossed a total of Rs 22.45 crore in the first week. It collected Rs 22.24 crore in Hindi and only Rs 21 lakh in Telugu. Now, the initial figures of the second Friday, i.e. the 8th day of the film's release, have also come.
8th day collection: According to the report, 'Jigra' has earned Rs 1.15 crore on the 8th day. With this, the total collection of 'Jigra' has now become Rs 23.60 crore.
Alia Bhatt movies comparison
Alia Bhatt has given many hit films in her career, out of which 8 out of 17 films have earned more than Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office. Alia's lowest grossing film was 'Highway' (2014) directed by Imtiaz Ali, which earned Rs 30.61 crore at the box office. However, looking at the current collection and box office prediction of 'Jigra', it is becoming clear that this film can surpass 'Highway' and become Alia Bhatt's lowest grossing film.
Further prospects
Now it will be interesting to see how much 'Jigra' collects in the second weekend. Will this Alia Bhatt film be able to improve its position at the box office? The audience's response and the story of the film will play an important role in this matter.
