Jigra, the latest film starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, has continued to experience a decline in its box office performance as it reaches Day 5 since its release. Directed by Vasan Bala and produced under the banners of Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions, the film has struggled to maintain momentum against competing releases.
Day 5 Box Office Collection
On October 15, 2024, Jigra collected ₹1.60 crore at the domestic box office. This brings the total collection for the film to ₹19.85 crore after five days of release. The film’s occupancy rate on its first Tuesday was reported at approximately 10.68%, indicating a lack of audience interest as it moves further into the week.
Performance Overview
The film had a rocky start, with an opening day collection of ₹4.55 crore, which was already lower than expected for an Alia Bhatt-led project. The subsequent days saw fluctuations in earnings:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹4.55 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹6.55 crore (an increase of 43.96%)
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹5.5 crore (a decrease of 16.03%)
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.65 crore (a sharp decline of 70%)
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹1.60 crore
This downward trend highlights the challenges Jigra has faced in captivating audiences, especially with competition from other films like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.
Audience Reception and Criticism
Despite being backed by prominent figures in Bollywood, including Karan Johar, Jigra has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some praise Alia Bhatt’s performance and the film’s technical aspects, others have criticized its storyline and pacing. The film’s narrative focuses on a young woman, Satya Anand, who embarks on a mission to rescue her brother from a foreign prison after he is wrongfully sentenced to death.
Conclusion: Future Prospects
As Jigra continues its theatrical run, it remains to be seen whether it can recover from this early slump or if it will struggle to reach the ₹20 crore mark in total collections. With mixed reviews and declining box office numbers, industry analysts are keeping a close eye on its performance in the coming days.Disclaimer: This article is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or predictions regarding box office performance.
