October 13, 2024: Alia Bhatt’s action thriller Jigra is showing steady improvement at the Indian box office, witnessing a notable rise in collections on its second day. Released on October 11, 2024, Jigra had a decent start at the ticket counters with an opening day collection above ₹4 crore. Despite competing with Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Tamil blockbuster Vettaiyan starring Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan, Alia’s star power continues to draw crowds.
After earning ₹4.55 crores on Friday, Jigra saw a healthy growth of 38-49% on Saturday, bringing in around ₹6.30-6.80 crores. This increase can be attributed to the Dussehra holiday and strong weekend footfall, resulting in a cumulative box office collection of ₹10.85-11.35 crores by the end of day two.
While the early trends are promising, the real challenge for Jigra will begin after the weekend, with Monday’s performance likely to dictate its long-term box office success.
