Jugjugg Jeeyo Box Office: Film has decent collections on Monday; collects Rs. 4.82 cr

Image
With Rs. 4.82 crores coming in on Monday, JugJugg Jeeyo collections now stand at Rs. 41.93 crores. The film has managed to keep a hold on its first weekday, though given the merits of the film, one would have expected at least an additional crore to be collected on Monday. After all, the growth on Saturday was quite good and then Sunday had seen a push as well. However, it is now apparent that the box office is going through a transition phase and barring a couple of films or so which have seen a far better hold on Mondays, the majority have in fact totally crashed in the range of 70%-80%. This has been the case of most of the films which anyway opened in a very low range (Rs. 2-3 crores) or those select few which did have a double digit opening but didn’t have any takers on Monday. In comparison, this Karan Johar production at least had momentum on its side over the weekend and though Monday is not the way accepted films like these behaved during pre-pandemic, it is still far better

Karan is getting to spend a lot of time with Alia. He is making sure she is being well looked after. He is constantly calling to inquire about her food, sleeping hours, etc. The best part of mothering Alia in the absence of her real mom Soni Razdan in London is that Karan gets to prepare for grand-fatherhood so quickly after fatherhood. “To me, Alia is equal to my twins Roohi and Yash. The twins know Alia as their elder sister. Now they know that there is going to be an addition in the family,” says Karan.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Box office: Film emerges as Kartik Aaryan's biggest HIT in the overseas markets till date

Image
The Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 released five weeks ago and since then, there has been no stopping the film at the box office. After opening on a good note, the Anees Bazmee directorial fast went past the Rs. 100 crore and Rs. 150 crore mark.

Image
On its release, JugJugg Jeeyo managed to find fifth spot in the list of Top-5 biggest Bollywood openers so far in 2022. Now as it is progressing ahead over the weekend, it could well be challenging a couple of higher spots as well. While Bachchhan Paandey [Rs. 36.17 crores] should be crossed by the film by close of Sunday, it would be interesting to see whether Gangubai Kathiawadi [Rs. 39.12 crores] and Samrat Prithviraj [Rs. 39.40 crores], which are quite close to each other, would be surpassed as well. All these comparisons are coming in because the Anil Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani and Neetu Kapoor starrer has managed to make a case for itself on Sunday. The film soared well as collections went up from Rs. 9.28 crores to Rs. 12.55 crores, which was healthy. Of course from absolute numbers perspective, had these been the numbers that would have come on Friday itself then everyone associated with it would have cheered aloud. Still, the good news is that there is an upwards
