Alia Bhatt's film 'Jigra' box office collection for the second day earns over Rs 11 crore despite negative reviews. The Jigra box office collection is the lowest box-office opener in a decade for Alia Bhatt. The first-day break drama collects Rs 6.50 crore. It seems that Jigra collection is slowly picking up pace at the box office. Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina's film made quite a noise with its trailer. The fans were very excited to see Alia in an action-packed avatar in this jailbreak drama, and Vedang too looked promising in the initial glimpses. However, on release, the film failed to impress critics and the audience as well to the extent it was thought as per several reviews. The story and performances are not as was expected. Even though with all these negative points, the film has had a decent start. As per industry trackers, early estimates for Jigra suggest that the film will manage to get into the double-digit zone on its second day. The Hindi occupancy for Jigra has been 30.10 per cent, with more than 2,800 shows across the country. With 28 shows, Chennai has the highest occupancy of 79.50 per cent, Bengaluru has 196 shows for Jigra and has an occupancy of 60.25 per cent. Hyderabad follows with 44 per cent occupancy, followed by Pune with an occupant of 43.75 per cent. Despite having the maximum number of shows,780, the occupancy in Delhi NCR is 24.75 per cent only, while in Mumbai Jigra has 512 shows with an occupancy of 38 per cent. The lowest occupancy for Jigra has been seen in Surat, which is 10.50 per cent.While Jigra is slowly picking up at the box office, it has also been in the eye of controversy, On Saturday, actress Divya Khossla called out Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar for inflating the box office collections for Jigra. She accused the team of getting paid reviews done, and also buying tickets just to tamper with box office numbers. The film has been directed by Vasan Bala, and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Alia Bhatt's Eternal Sunshine Productions.
