Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina’s Jigra had a mellow opening but it seems to be picking up at the Indian box office. The Vasan Bala directorial which was released on October 11, earned Rs 6.5 crore on day 2, which is more than what it earned on day 1. The rise in numbers can be attributed to the Dusshera holidays. It had opened to approximately Rs 4.5 crores. The total box office collection of the film in India stands at Rs 11.1 crore (nett). Worldwide, the film minted Rs 17.2 crore. The numbers are likely to rise owing to the weekends.
The film is seeing growth at the box office despite competition from Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri’s Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and the Tamil film Vettaiyan. Jigra follows the story of a young woman Satya (Alia) and her brother Ankur (Vedang) who is imprisoned. How she rescues her brother from the jail forms the crux of the film.
The film also stars Manoj Pahwa, Harssh A. Singh, Rahul Ravindran and Vivek Gomber among others.
