TL;DR: Alia Bhatt’s much-anticipated film "Jigra" hit the box office with a massive thud! 💥 Despite big expectations, it’s officially her worst opening in a decade 😱. Even with festive Dasara releases, the movie’s collections crashed after a slight initial boost 🎬. What went wrong? Find out how this flop compares to other releases and why even Alia's stardom couldn't save the day! 🌟
Jigra Tanks at the Box Office! What Happened?! 📉🚨
Bollywood's sweetheart Alia Bhatt is known for delivering hits 🎬, but her latest film, “Jigra,” shocked the industry by pulling in some of the worst numbers of her career 📊. 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 😲.
After a weak opening day of just Rs. 4.55 crores, “Jigra” barely picked up during the Dasara festival, grossing Rs. 6.55 crores on day two and Rs. 5.7 crores on the third day 😬. Unfortunately, even with promotions by Alia herself and Trivikram, the film lost steam quickly 💨. The Tollywood audience didn't connect with it either, and to make things worse, it faced stiff competition from Telugu releases like Vettayan.
Why Did "Jigra" Fail? Theories Flying Around! 🤔📽️
So, what went wrong? The movie had everything – Alia Bhatt headlining the cast, big-budget promotions, and a promising storyline. But despite these, "Jigra" couldn't attract enough viewers 🎥. Analysts believe a few key reasons are to blame:
Tough Competition: Releasing during the Dasara festival meant going up against strong Telugu films like Vettayan 😬.
Weak Word of Mouth: The film failed to generate a buzz with audiences, and reviews weren’t strong enough to pull people to theatres 🎟️.
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 Tollywood dominates 🧐.
Other Movies Doing Better at the Box Office! 📊🎬
To add salt to the wound, Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri’s film, “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala,” has been performing significantly better 📈. This movie opened with a stronger Rs. 5.5 crores and continued to rise with Rs. 6.9 crores and Rs. 6.4 crores over the next two days! Clearly, audiences preferred something else this festive season 🎉.
Will Alia Bounce Back? 👀💪
Despite this flop, Alia Bhatt is no stranger to the ups and downs of Bollywood 🎭. While "Jigra" might be her worst opening in a decade, she still has an impressive career behind her 💫. Fans are hoping she’ll bounce back soon with a better project that does justice to her acting skills and star power ✨.
