Jigra and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video have taken a decent openings with Jigra leading in the metros and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video leading outside. Overall both openings are decent but its more about about the reports as the initials are not high enough for good weekend totals unless both or even one get huge jumps.
Jigra is mainly driven by Alia Bhatt as the film has nothing else much going for it in terms of it taking an opening. The treatment is such that holds very little appeal outside the metros even though a brother sister story can have wider appeal. The film has the leading heroine but there is no music in the film as the zone of the film probably does not allow.
The collections outside metros reflect the limited appeal and it is probably dependent on this metro crowd who will really have to appreciate the film. The advances were decent for the film as its target audience is mainly the national chains so these did pretty well over the two days when advances were open.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has also taken a decent opening as is comfortably ahead of Jigra in the likes of Jaipur, Agra, Indore, Bhopal etc. Actually the opening can be called good for the face value but Stree 2 happened and expectations were going around of a better opening of like 8-9 crore nett opening due to Stree 2 when Stree 2 actually does not change anything.
The film is behind Jigra in the bigger multiplexes but it will get better numbers in the Hindi speaking belts and despite weaker advances it could even edge past Jigra by the end of the day. This is because the wider audience is not going to buy tickets for this film in advance but as the comedy holds some appeal it will get sales on the day be it UP, Rajasthan or MP.
Both the films can target the 6 crore nett number as they should be able to go over 5 crore nett and if you get a 12 crore nett day with these two films then overall its a good result combined as nether film really has urgency for the public to watch initially.
