Released just one week ago, the Raj Mehta directorial Jugjugg Jeeyo starring Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Singh hit the big screen across 3375+ screens in India, produced by Dharma Productions and Vaicom 18. The film had an auspicious opening, followed by more positive reviews and feedback from the critics. With this, it saw an increment in collections on its first Saturday and Sunday, garnering the attention of viewers.
In this report, we analyze the first-week collections of Jugjugg Jeeyo and compare them with other releases of 2022. By amassing a total of Rs. 53.66 cr, the film has attained the distinction of becoming the seventh highest-grossing release in its opening week. Additionally, it has been able to surpass the earnings of previous titles such as Bachchhan Paandey ( Rs. 47.98 cr ), Heropanti 2 ( Rs. 23.60 cr ), and Runway 34 ( Rs. 22.25 cr ). However, in terms of commercial success, Jugjugg Jeeyo fails to measure up to certain other titles released this year, such as KGF – Chapter 2 ( Rs. 268.63 cr ), RRR ( Rs. 132.59 cr ), The Kashmir Files ( Rs. 101.49 cr ), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 ( Rs. 92.05 cr ), Gangubai Kathiawadi ( Rs. 68.93 cr ), and Samrat Prithviraj ( Rs. 55.05 cr ). Conversely, in comparison to non-dubbed Hindi-language Bollywood releases, Jugjugg Jeeyo ranks fifth in terms of opening week collections.
Despite the two new releases, Rocketry: The Nambi Effect and Rashtra Kavach Om, hitting theatres today, the trade industry is still expecting Jugjugg Jeeyo’s business to suffer a setback. Predictions nonetheless reveal that this movie, which has already crossed the Rs. 50 cr mark, will remain the audience’s favorite option.
