Jigra has crossed the ₹15 crore mark at the box office, reaching a total of ₹16.75 crore by the end of its first weekend. Despite some initial momentum, the film experienced a slight dip on its third day, earning ₹5.65 crore on Sunday, as reported by Sacnilk. The movie had a 26.57% overall Hindi occupancy on Sunday, suggesting a strong showing in urban centers but limited appeal in mass markets, according to Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Here is the daywise breakdown for Jigra:
Day 1 (Friday): ₹4.55 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹6.58 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹5.65 crore
Total: ₹16.75 crore
Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra features Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in lead roles, supported by a talented ensemble cast including Manoj Pahwa, Harssh A Singh, and others. The film’s urban-centric appeal has limited its reach in smaller markets, which is why it hasn’t yet seen a significant boost beyond major metropolitan areas. Despite the Dussehra holiday weekend, Taran Adarsh noted that the film’s growth on Saturday was less than expected.
The crime fiction drama tells the story of Satya (Alia Bhatt), who embarks on a mission to rescue her brother, Ankur, from wrongful imprisonment and a death sentence in the fictional nation of Hanshi Dao. With intense stakes and emotional depth, Jigra presents Alia Bhatt in a new action-packed avatar. The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions in collaboration with Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions.
Jigra is currently competing with Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, at the box office, adding to the high-stakes nature of its run in theaters.
#Jigra gains momentum on Saturday, but not enough to place it in a comfortable position… The Saturday boost should’ve been stronger, especially with the #Dussehra holiday… All eyes are on its performance on Sunday.
