Jigra Tanks at the Box Office! What Happened?! ššØ
Bollywood's sweetheart Alia BhattĀ is known for delivering hits š¬, but her latest film, āJigra,āĀ shocked the industry by pulling in some of the worst numbersĀ of her career š. Trade analysts are calling it her lowest opening in 10 years, and fans are left wondering how such a star-studded movie could flop so hard š².
After a weak opening dayĀ of just Rs. 4.55 crores, āJigraā barely picked up during the Dasara festival, grossing Rs. 6.55 croresĀ on day two and Rs. 5.7 croresĀ on the third day š¬. Unfortunately, even with promotions by AliaĀ herself and Trivikram, the film lost steam quickly šØ. The Tollywood audience didn't connect with it either, and to make things worse, it faced stiff competition from Telugu releasesĀ like Vettayan.
Why Did "Jigra" Fail? Theories Flying Around! š¤š½ļø
So, what went wrong? The movie had everything ā Alia BhattĀ headlining the cast, big-budget promotions, and a promising storyline. But despite these, "Jigra"Ā couldn't attract enough viewers š„. Analysts believe a few key reasons are to blame:
Tough Competition: Releasing during the Dasara festival meant going up against strong Telugu films like VettayanĀ š¬.
Weak Word of Mouth: The film failed to generate a buzz with audiences, and reviews werenāt strongĀ enough to pull people to theatres šļø.
Dwindling Star Power? Some speculate that Alia's box-office pull might not be as strong as it used to be, especially in regions where TollywoodĀ dominates š§.
Other Movies Doing Better at the Box Office! šš¬
To add salt to the wound, Rajkummar RaoĀ and Tripti DimriāsĀ film, āVicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala,āĀ has been performing significantly better š. This movie opened with a stronger Rs. 5.5 croresĀ and continued to rise with Rs. 6.9 croresĀ and Rs. 6.4 croresĀ over the next two days! Clearly, audiences preferred something else this festive season š.
Will Alia Bounce Back? ššŖ
Despite this flop, Alia BhattĀ is no stranger to the ups and downs of Bollywood š. While "Jigra"Ā might be her worst opening in a decade, she still has an impressive career behind her š«. Fans are hoping sheāll bounce back soon with a better project that does justice to her acting skillsĀ and star power āØ.
