The Dussehra weekend has kicked off with an exciting box office clash between Alia Bhatt‘s Jigra and Rajkummar Rao’s Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. While both films have garnered significant attention, the initial numbers reveal a clear winner.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Takes the Lead
Rajkummar Rao‘s family comedy-drama has opened with a promising Rs 5 crore nett on its first day, surpassing Alia Bhatt’s Jigra, which collected Rs 4.25 crore nett. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video seems to have struck the right chord with audiences, particularly in the northern market.
Jigra Fails to Impress Despite Alia’s Presence
Despite Alia Bhatt’s towering screen presence, Jigra’s prison-break thriller genre may not be attracting the masses. The film’s mixed reviews may also have contributed to its relatively slower start. Director Vasan Bala’s efforts may still pay off, but the film needs to gain momentum over the weekend.
Dussehra Festivities: A Game-Changer?
With the festive weekend underway, both films are counting on word-of-mouth and social media buzz to boost their collections. Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’s family-friendly genre might give it an edge, while Jigra’s unique storyline could attract more viewers.
Three-Week Window: A Chance to Shine
Before the big Diwali releases – Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 – hit the screens on November 1, both Jigra and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video have a three-week window to perform. Will Alia’s Jigra catch up, or will Rajkummar’s Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video maintain its lead? The next few days will be crucial.
Current Box Office Standings:
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video: Rs 5 crore nett
Jigra: Rs 4.25 crore nett
Vettaiyan: Lagging behind in the northern market
