The film Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, has had a challenging run at the box office. As of October 20, 2024, the movie’s performance over its first nine days has raised concerns among fans and industry analysts alike.
Jigra Box Office Collection on Day 9
On its ninth day, Jigra earned approximately ₹1.70 crore in India net collections across all languages. This marks a significant increase from the previous day, where the film collected ₹1.15 crore on Day 8. Despite this uptick, the film’s overall performance remains below expectations.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of Jigra’s box office performance over its first nine days:
- Day 1 (1st Friday): ₹4.55 crore
- Day 2 (1st Saturday): ₹6.55 crore
- Day 3 (1st Sunday): ₹5.50 crore

Total Worldwide Collection
By the end of Day 9, Jigra’s worldwide collection is estimated to be around ₹40.35 crore, with overseas collections contributing approximately ₹10 crore to this total.
Audience Reception and Occupancy Rates
Despite a modest increase on Day 9, Jigra has struggled with overall occupancy rates throughout its run. On October 19, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of just 14.37%. The occupancy breakdown for Day 9 was as follows:
- Morning Shows: 7.22%
- Afternoon Shows: 15.50%
- Evening Shows: 16.60%
- Night Shows: 18.16%
These figures indicate that while there was some interest in the film during peak hours, it has not translated into significant box office success.
About the Movie
Directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra features a talented cast that includes Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina, and Manoj Pahwa in key roles. The film was expected to perform well due to its star power and production backing but has unfortunately not resonated with audiences as anticipated.
Conclusion
As it stands, Jigra’s box office collection is falling short of what was expected for a film of its scale and budget, which is estimated at around ₹90 crores including prints and advertising costs. With a total collection of ₹25.30 crore against this budget, the film is projected to face significant challenges ahead if it cannot recover in the coming days.
