Box Office: 'Jigra' and 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, October 11 - Bollywood star Alia Bhatt returns to the big screen with director Vasan Bala's action thriller Jigra since romantic comedy-drama Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in July 2023.## Jigra generated decent hype after the trailer release, however, this couldn't turn into box office numbers as the opening of the film is below the mark. According to early estimates, the movie scored in the range of 4.25-4.50 crores on its opening day. ## The opening of Jigra is somehow on the projected lines due to the genre but the presence of Alia was anticipated to bring bigger opening day numbers which couldn't happen. The word of mouth for the movie is mixed and it needs to be seen how it fairs over the Dusshera weekend which is crucial. ## While Jigra fumbles to take a respectable start, Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri's romantic comedy Vicky Vidya ka Woh Wala Video surprises with the bigger opening. The genre has more appeal than that of Jigra and this was clearly visible in the opening day footfalls. ## According to the early estimates, VVKVWV scored 5-5.50 crores net collection on its first day which is a decent to good start. The WOM for the movie is mixed to positive and this should lead to a good first weekend collection. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Tumbbad' Re-Release 4 Weeks (28 Days) Collection

Mumbai, October 11 - The folk horror thriller Tumbbad has eased down at the box office after a superb 4-week re-release run which saw it becoming the biggest re-release grosser ever at the Indian box office by a very good margin. ## Directed by Rahi Anil Barve, Tumbbad was re-released on September 13 amid public demand and what followed after that led the trade by surprise. The film almost wiped out its original total collection of approximately 13.50 crores net in the first week only with a superb 13.15 crores net. ## As word of mouth spread, the film maintained a very good hold in the second week with a solid 11.40 crores net, followed by another 4.40 crores net in the third week. In the fourth week, the movie remained over the 1 crore mark and scored approximately 1.65 crore net, for a total re-release collection of approximately 30.50 crores in 4 weeks (28 days). ## This is a very good collection for the genre and a movie which was a flop in its original run back in 2018. Tumbbad has managed to turn the table and also crossed the 50 crores gross mark (52.25 crores) at the worldwide box office, including the 16 crores gross original collection. ## The re-release factor used to work big for the Indian film industry a couple of decades ago and the trend is returning. This year, a few classic Bollywood films got re-released and they turned into a successful venture with Tumbbad scripting history. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Unstoppable 'Stree 2' Eyes Historic Finish

Mumbai, October 7 - Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-fronted horror-comedy Stree 2 is having an unbelievable box office run with an excellent collection. It has been an unstoppable force so far and still has enough gas left to sail through for a few more days. ## In its 8th weekend, the Maddock Films production scored approximately 2.65 crores net which is already the biggest 8th week collection ever in Hindi. The previous biggest 8th-week collection belonged to Shah Rukh Khan-fronted Pathaan which minted approximately 1.70 crores net collection. ## After its 8th weekend (53 days), Stress 2's total collection stands at approximately 594.60 crores net (709.25 crores gross). It is quite remarkable that the movie is still collecting over 1 crore net daily collection despite being in the 8th week. ## In the history of Indian cinema, no other film has earned more than Stree 2 in a single language at the domestic box office and this Amar Kaushik's directorial is now eyeing a rare historic finish by breaching the 600 crores net club. ## The movie still needs a little over 5 crore net collection to enter the next milestone club. Stree 2, unlike its smooth journey so far, will be facing multiple challenges in its bid to breach the milestone. This Friday, it will have a serious competition in the form of Alia Bhatt's Jigra along with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. ## However, Stree 2 is still earning over 1 crore net at the weekends and with the festive season approaching, it is likely to enter the 600 crore club to finish on a high. ## Stay tuned...
