Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt in the lead along with Vedang Raina and Manoj Pahwa, started slowly in advance sales. The Vasan Bala-directed film has sold around 3500 tickets in the top three National Chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis.
Jigra Lacks Initial Rush In Advance Booking, Sells 3500 tickets
Dharma Productions is funding Jigra, Which will be shown on the big screens this weekend. The multiplex chains opened advance booking today around 3 PM, though the movie didn't show any rush at the ticket window.
The Alia Bhatt starrer sold over 3500 tickets in the top national chains one day before release. Out of which, PVR Inox is leading the advances with around 2250 tickets while Cinepolis could manage to sell around 1250 tickets. The movie needs to show a magical jump tomorrow in order to record decent pre-sales.
Jigra Is Targeting An Opening Of Rs 6 Crore
Jigra is slated to release on the occasion of Dussehra. The holiday and festive mood should drive the movie on the opening day. If the walk-ins help, it can get a decent opening. As per estimates, Jigra is likely to open in the range of Rs 5 crore to 6 crore.
The makers managed to generate some curiosity about the movie with its teaser and trailer but failed to expand the marketing further. However, the movie can write a success story if it meets with positive word-of-mouth.
The prison-break action-drama is facing a clash with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's comedy movie Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Rajinikanth-Amitabh Bachchan's movie Vettaiyan- The Hunter. However, no rival release will dent its box office potential, as all three look to underwhelm in terms of opening in the Hindi belts. In short, all the Dussehra releases will heavily depend on word-of-mouth and audience reception.
