The weekend box office numbers for Jigra, starring the talented Alia Bhatt, have been a mixed bag with collections totaling around Rs 16.50 crore. The film kicked off on Friday with a modest Rs 4.50 crore, saw a significant jump to Rs 6.50 crore on Saturday, and wrapped up the weekend with approximately Rs 5.50 crore on Sunday. The festive occasion of Dussehra on Saturday definitely gave the film a boost, but a slight dip on Sunday was expected due to the holiday vibe.
Now, all eyes are on how Jigra will fare on Monday, as it needs to sustain its momentum and show some promising trends at the box office. This collaboration between Alia Bhatt and Vasan Bala, an action-packed thriller targeting the urban audience, has been primarily embraced by the top cinema chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, contributing a significant 67% to the total box office revenue. The movie has been a hit in multiplexes but has struggled to make a mark outside the major cities, largely due to its genre-specific appeal.
Despite the lukewarm response, Alia Bhatt’s star power has undoubtedly played a crucial role in boosting the film’s weekend collections. However, it’s not enough to change the overall fate of the movie. The upcoming Monday will be a crucial test to see if Jigra can maintain its hold, but let’s not set our hopes too high as the current trend doesn’t look too promising.
On the brighter side, Jigra is financially secure even with its lackluster performance at the box office, thanks to favorable deals with digital and satellite platforms. This ensures that no one involved will suffer any monetary losses.
For a detailed breakdown of the box office figures, here’s a day-wise collection summary for Jigra:
– Day 1: Rs 4.50 crore
– Day 2: Rs 6.50 crore
– Day 3: Rs 5.50 crore
– Total: Rs 16.50 crore net in 3 days in India
