Jigra box office update

According to the report, Jigra is yet to cross ₹20 crore at the box office after three days of release. On its opening day, Jigra collected ₹4.55 crore. The film showed some growth on its second day of release, owing to a public holiday for Dusshera, registering ₹6.55 crore. With the third day collections, Jigra has earned ₹16.75 crore so far.

How Jigra fared in comparison to Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video

Jigra is facing stiff competition at the box office from Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. The film beat Jigra in its opening day collections with a collection of ₹5.5 crore. So far, the film has collected ₹17.84 crore, as per Sacnilk.com, which reflects that it is the frontrunner at the box office.

Alia has lead several female-centric films to box office successes, including Gangubai Kathiawadi, Raazi and Udta Punjab. This is the reason why the lukewarm box office opening for the film comes as a concern. Her last release was Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, which had an impressive box office opening weekend run, registering at ₹19 crore.

After Jigra released, actor Divya Khossla Kumar claimed that Alia misrepresented the success of the film. While Alia did not respond, Karan Johar posted a note on his Instagram stories that read, “Silence is the best speech you will ever give to fools.”
