Get ready for an exciting Dussehra season as two highly anticipated movies are set to hit the silver screens on 11th October 2024. “Jigra,” directed by the talented Vasan Bala and featuring the powerhouse duo of Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, will be competing with “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video,” helmed by the visionary Raaj Shaandilya and starring the dynamic duo of Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, among other talented actors.
As the clock ticks closer to the release date, the buzz surrounding these movies is palpable. The advance bookings for both films have yet to kick off, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Trade experts at Pinkvilla have shared their insights on what to expect on the opening day of these cinematic offerings.
Renowned trade analyst, Himesh Mankad, with over a decade of experience in dissecting the box office numbers of Indian films, predicts that both “Jigra” and “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” will open in the range of Rs 5-6 crore on their debut day. When pressed to pick a frontrunner, Mankad diplomatically states that the film with stronger word-of-mouth buzz on release day will likely emerge as the victor.
On the other hand, trade analyst Jatinder Singh, a seasoned observer of global box office trends, places his bets on “Jigra.” Singh foresees the Alia Bhatt-led film raking in a substantial Rs 7 crore on its opening day, overshadowing the comedy flick starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, which he predicts will collect Rs 4 crore.
While the Hindi offerings are generating excitement, the spotlight also shines on Rajinikanth’s “Vettaiyan,” poised to be the standout performer this Dussehra. However, the film’s limited release in certain cinema chains due to the makers’ decision to adhere to a strict theatrical-to-digital release gap might impact its overall box office performance in Hindi markets.
So, as you gear up for the festive season, which movie has caught your eye? Will you be rooting for the action-packed “Jigra” or the quirky “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video”? Share your thoughts and let the countdown to Dussehra movie magic begin!
