Hailed as one of the most talked about films this year and receiving heavy promotion nationwide, Ranveer Singh’s latest film Jayeshbhai Jordaar did not deliver when it was released last Friday. Despite drawing in only Rs. 3.25 cr on its opening day, the movie failed to draw crowds over Saturday and Sunday even though it had enough room for improvement since competition from other films has been minimal until now and reviews have been favorable for the actor who stars in it throughout his career thus far.
This article compares the opening weekend earnings for Jayeshbhai Jordaar with other recent releases from 2022. On an opening weekend, it has grossed Rs. 12 cr and ranks as one of the top ten earners for the year so far. It’s also worth noting that its total earnings are not much higher than other films released earlier this year such as KGF- Chapter 2 which earned Rs. 193 cr, RRR-7557cr, Gangubai Kathiawadi-3912cr, Bachchan Pandey-3617cr and The Kashmir Files that earned 2715cr during its opening week. Looking ahead to future projections, Jayeshbhai Jordaar may struggle at the box office because of poor reviews on social media – especially given predictions from industry experts who anticipate a decline in interest among moviegoers going forward based off what they’ve seen so far.
