Jigra directed by Vasan Bala and starring Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina, Manoj Pahwa and others, dropped by 60 percent from the opening day on its first Monday, as it could only manage Rs 1.80 crore. Coupled with the Rs 16.50 crore opening weekend, the four day total of Jigra stands at Rs 18.30 crore. The weekend trend somewhat suggested that the movie would not hold up and that's exactly what has happened.

Jigra Drops By 60 Percent On First Monday; The Drop Seals The Film A Sorry Fate

Jigra will have to hold at low levels for a couple of weeks to just end up with respectable final numbers considering the genre and the appeal. Even a steady hold at low levels from here won't absolve it from an unfavourable theatrical verdict. The social media negativity for the Alia Bhatt starrer has certainly affected the way prospective viewers saw this film. Most people these days, deduce how a film is, based on its collections. Here, along with the low collections, there was a section of the people even questioning its authenticity. When this happens, literally nothing can be done to control the narrative.

Why Has Box Office Become So Important For A Film's Social Media Image

In today's time and age, there are just two ways that a movie is seen. Either it is a blockbuster or it is a flop. Films that open low or have limited interest, will always find it difficult to prove their success. Jigra, despite not just being a safe film monetarily, but also being a profitable one for its producers, will have to pay the price of low theatrical collections. The prominence of box office numbers has increased so much that it can't be ignored even if one wishes to. It gets shoved into everyone's faces through different mediums on different platforms. When will a film be seen for what it is and not by what it collects is the burning question.
