New Delhi: After a year, Alia Bhatt has returned to the big screen with her new film Jigra. This time she was seen doing action instead of romance or crime drama. There was a discussion about the film for a long time. Finally, the movie hit the theatres on 11 October.

Alia Bhatt starrer Jigra was announced in September last year and the movie was scheduled to release on 27 September this year but at the last moment the release date of the movie was changed to Junior NTR's movie Devra Part 1. The movie which released in theatres on 11 October has earned better on the second day than the first day.

box office collection of Jigra

Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, opened with just Rs 4.55 crore on the first day. There was a strong expectation that the film's collection would increase on the second day, because October 12 is a weekend as well as Dussehra. Finally, the film has got the full benefit of Dussehra holiday. The movie has done better business on the second day than the first day.

According to the early trade of Saccanilk, Alia Bhatt starrer action thriller Jigra has earned Rs 6.19 crore (till the time of writing the news) at the domestic box office on the second day. However, the exact figures may be more or less than this. According to the rough data so far, the movie has earned around 11 crores in two days.

This movie spoiled the game

National Award winner Alia Bhatt's film Jigra could have earned 10 crores on the first day, if it had not clashed with Rajkumar Rao and Tripti Dimri's comedy drama Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. This film also earned around 5.25 crores on the first day.
