'Jagra' is on the verge of becoming the biggest flop of Alia Bhatt's showbiz career
Mumbai: Alia Bhatt's latest film, 'Jigra,' is on the brink of becoming the biggest box office flop of her career, just one week after its release. Despite high expectations, the film has struggled to attract audiences, raising concerns for both the cast and crew.
Box Office Performance
Released in theaters on October 11, 'Jigra' has grossed a disappointing $2.7 million to date. On its opening day, the film earned only $550,000 and managed to reach $2 million during its first weekend. However, daily earnings have plummeted since, remaining below $240,000, with only $150,000 recorded on its second Friday.
Film Details and Cast
Directed by Vasan Bala, 'Jigra' revolves around the complex relationship between a brother and sister. The film features talented actors such as Vedang Raina, but despite a strong premise, it has failed to resonate with viewers.
Public Reaction and Controversy
Controversy surrounding the film and negative public opinion have significantly impacted its performance at the box office. Even the Dussehra holiday, typically a lucrative time for film releases, failed to boost audience turnout for 'Jigra.'
Expert Predictions
Trade expert Sumit Caudel predicts that 'Jigra' could end its theatrical run with a total gross of around $3.4 million. If this prediction holds true, it would mark Alia Bhatt's lowest-grossing film to date, surpassing her previous record with 'Highway' (2014), which earned $3.7 million.
FAQs
Conclusion
With its current trajectory, 'Jigra' is poised to become a significant disappointment in Alia Bhatt's illustrious career. The combination of controversy, public sentiment, and poor box office performance has left many wondering about the future of the film and its star. As the theatrical run continues, it remains to be seen how the film will ultimately be remembered.
