Alia Bhatt starrer 'Jigra' has been having an unfortunate fate at the box office. One had expected that despite its niche reach and appeal, it may end up bringing in those numbers at the box office, just like in case of '12th Fail' or 'Laapataa Ladies'. Though, the budget of 'Jigra' looks certainly higher than these two movies and it may have required more to be a theatrical hit.
Jigra Movie Review On its Day 18, the movie has managed to make only Rs 25 lakh according to Sacnilk. This comes as a dip from Sunday number which was around Rs 65 lakh. The total collection of 'Jigra' now is Rs 31.25 crore. At this pace, even a lifetime total of Rs 35 crore seems difficult for 'Jigra'. The film only has two more days before the big Diwali releases dominate at the box office.
'Singham Again' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' both are set to release on November 1 and the clash between both these biggies will further make 'Jigra' and Rajkummar Rao starrer 'Vicky Vidya...' fizzle out at the box office.
While the theatrical business of 'Jigra' hasn't met expectations, the film will not be in loss as it has recovered money from its digital and satellite rights. Meanwhile, the film has performed much better abroad than in India and that's where Alia's stardom does seem to have worked. The overseas collection so far, is $3 million which is around Rs 25 crore, according to box office India.
