Kangana Ranaut and Alia Bhatt are among the many talented artists in Indian cinema. While Kangana has been overflooded with 11 underperformers since a decade, Alia has experienced more ups and a few downs in the last 10 years. Let's analyze the box office performances of their last releases, Emergency and Jigra.

Emergency vs Jigra: Box Office Performances Of Both The Movies

Directed by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency failed to create any magic at the box office and finished with a sorry fate. Based on Indian Emergency, the political film collected Rs 16 crore net in India by the end of its theatrical run. As far as worldwide box office is concerned, Kangana-starrer reached its finish line at Rs 22 crore gross.

Meanwhile, Jigra, which hit the screens on October 11, 2024, also couldn't perform well during its release. Headlined by Alia Bhatt, the action thriller earned Rs 31 crore net at the Indian box office. Also featuring Vedang Raina, the 2024 movie helmed by Vasan Bala grossed Rs 62 crore worldwide.
