Jigra seems to have generated a fair amount of buzz with Alia Bhatt’s return to action thrillers! The competition from Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Vettaiyan adds an interesting dynamic, especially with the Dussehra holiday potentially boosting overall occupancy.
With pre-sales of 1.70 crores gross, the opening day figures indicate a decent start, though it sounds like expectations were higher given the pre-release hype. The mixed reviews could definitely play a significant role in shaping its box office performance. If audiences find the emotional aspects resonant, that might help bolster its numbers, but a weak plot could deter some viewers.
The predicted opening range of 3.50-4.50 crores suggests it may not break into Alia’s top openers, which is surprising considering her popularity. The real test will be how it holds up over the weekend, particularly on Saturday.
It’ll be interesting to see which film ultimately draws in more audiences. Are you leaning towards watching Jigra, or do you have your eye on one of the other releases?
