Alia Bhatt's 'Jigra' Sees Box Office Surge Amid Controversy

The film, despite mixed reviews and allegations of rigged numbers, shows significant growth in its second day of release.

Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt, opened to a lukewarm ₹4.25 crore but saw a 42% increase on its second day, earning ₹6.50 crore.
The film has faced allegations from actor Divya Khossla Kumar, who accused Bhatt of inflating box office numbers by purchasing tickets herself.
Set in a fictional East Asian country, Jigra follows a sister's quest to rescue her brother from a death sentence, drawing mixed reviews for its pacing and storytelling.
Despite criticism, the film has been praised for Bhatt's performance, with many fans lauding her portrayal of a determined sister.
The Telugu-dubbed version of Jigra has struggled, with extremely low audience turnout leading to show cancellations in some areas.
