Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, opened to a modest box office collection on its first day, earning between ₹4-4.40 crores. The film, directed by Vasan Bala, is an action thriller that revolves around a woman who will go to any lengths to rescue her brother from prison. Despite a decent pre-release buzz and strong music reception, the early reviews have been mixed, with polarizing opinions from critics. However, the Dussehra holiday helped the movie achieve a better-than-expected start.
The competition from Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Vettaiyan, the latter led by stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, may create challenges for Jigra in the coming days. Both Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Jigra have faced mixed reviews, which could impact their ability to maintain a strong presence in theaters, particularly with Vettaiyan expected to attract larger audiences due to its star power.
Jigra Box Office Collection Day 1 Prediction
While Jigra managed to meet early box office expectations, it has missed out on breaking into Alia Bhatt’s top 10 highest-grossing opening day films. Brahmastra remains her biggest opener with ₹37 crores (all languages), followed by Kalank and Gully Boy. Despite Jigra’s strong premise and Alia’s star power, its first-day performance falls short of these massive figures. However, with the weekend ahead, the film may see an uptick, depending on how word-of-mouth and audience feedback develop.
