Jigra Box Office Collection Day 1: Alia Bhatt-Vedang Raina Film Off To A Decent Start, Earns Rs 4 Crore – News18

Jigra Box Office Collection: Alia Bhatt’s Jigra had a decent box office performance on its release day, Friday, October 11. The Bollywood film follows the protagonist’s fight to protect her brother. Directed by Vasan Bala, this major Dussehra release stars Alia Bhatt in the lead role, with Vedang Raina and Manoj Pahwa playing key characters in the action-thriller.

The Alia Bhatt film earned Rs 4.25 crore on its opening day across all languages in India, according to early estimates from Sacnilk. Most of this revenue came from the Hindi version, which made Rs 4.2 crore, while the Telugu version brought in just Rs 5 lakh. The film had an overall Hindi occupancy of 20.13% on Friday. Data from Sacnilk shows that night shows were the most popular, with a 32.19% occupancy. Morning shows had a 10.48% occupancy, afternoon shows reached 19.17%, and evening shows had 18.66%.

On the other hand, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, earned a decent Rs 5 crore net on its opening day in India, higher than Jigra, by a small margin. Interestingly, Rajkummar Rao’s last film was the blockbuster Stree 2, with Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, and others in the lead.

News18 gave the film 4.6 stars. An excerpt from the review read, “Even at 2 hours 35 minutes, Jigra makes for an exhilarating ride. It rarely drops pace and keeps you engaged throughout the narrative. The final jailbreak sequence in the second half will push you toward the edge of your seat and leave you biting your nails. You’ll find yourself wishing and hoping and your heart beating for a bloody and bruised Satya to win against the whole world against all odds. And the background score by Achint Thakkar is like an icing on the cake. The new-age rendition of Phoolon Ka Taron Ka that punctuates the narrative now and then truly tugs at the heartstrings.”
