Despite a grand promotional event for the Telugu dub featuring Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Rana Daggubati, the initial box office figures may disappoint the makers. However, there is hope that positive word of mouth and the Dussehra festival will boost ticket sales. Audience reactions have been largely positive, with particular acclaim for Alia Bhatt's performance.
Jigra Budget
The film has an overall budget of ₹90 crores, which includes ₹80 crores for production and ₹10 crores for prints and advertising. The film is set to release on approximately 2,000 screens across India. To be considered a hit, Jigra reportedly needs to earn ₹100 crores, while ₹90 crores would classify it as an average performer.
