After a string of successful collaborations on beloved films like Student of The Year, 2 States, Dear Zindagi, Kapoor and Sons, and more, the talented Alia Bhatt is teaming up once again with the visionary Karan Johar for the eagerly anticipated action thriller, Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala. This time, the story revolves around the powerful bond of sisterhood, with Vedang Raina portraying Alia Bhatt’s protective brother.
Excitement is brewing as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has given Jigra a U/A certification, signaling an intense and gripping cinematic experience with a runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes. The film, set to hit screens nationwide courtesy of Viacom 18, is poised to grace approximately 2000 theaters across India, promising a captivating and thrilling ride for moviegoers.
As anticipation mounts, early ticket sales for Jigra have begun, with around 18,000 tickets already snapped up in leading cinema chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis by Thursday evening. The buzz surrounding the film suggests a promising start, with projections hinting at an opening day box office collection ranging from Rs 4.50 to 5.50 crore.
With a national holiday on the horizon, followed by the weekend, Jigra is primed to charm urban audiences in metropolitan cities, banking on Alia Bhatt’s star power to draw in crowds. Director Vasan Bala’s unique storytelling and the film’s intriguing premise hold the key to its success, with hopes pinned on positive reviews and word of mouth to propel its journey at the box office.
Looking ahead, Jigra faces stiff competition from upcoming blockbusters like Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on Diwali, but the film’s potential for a sustained run rests on audience feedback and overall reception.
