Both ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ and ‘Jigra’ had an average opening weekend at the Box office despite high expectations. With no major releases until Diwali, they have room for potential recovery.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video: Moderate Opening Weekend
Rajkumar Rao and Tripti Dimri’s much-anticipated Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video opened to an ordinary response, collecting ₹19.17 crore over its first weekend. Despite the positive buzz generated by the trailer, the film missed a significant opportunity to leverage the Dussehra holiday boost on Saturday. While Saturday showed a slight increase at ₹7.06 crore, Sunday saw a dip with ₹6.40 crore, marking a setback in momentum.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video may yet recover if it can maintain steady weekday collections. The absence of any major releases until Diwali could offer it an open run, potentially allowing it to capitalize on positive word of mouth.
- Friday: ₹5.71 crore
- Saturday: ₹7.06 crore
- Sunday: ₹6.40 crore
- Total: ₹19.17 crore (India biz, Nett)
Jigra: Underwhelming Start
Starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, Jigra struggled with an opening weekend collection of ₹16.64 crore. Although Alia Bhatt’s past films like Raazi and Gangubai Kathiawadi had strong openings, Jigra underperformed, especially in mass circuits, where its urban appeal limited its reach. The film failed to draw audiences to smaller centres, which contributed to its subdued performance.
The film’s uninterrupted run until Diwali provides a window for it to stabilize. Consistent weekday collections are essential to achieve a respectable total by the end of Week 1.
- Friday: ₹4.55 crore
- Saturday: ₹6.58 crore
- Sunday: ₹5.51 crore
- Total: ₹16.64 crore (India biz, Nett)
Both films have some room to recover in the coming weeks, given the lack of significant releases.
