Ranveer Singh is back on the big screens with Divyang Thakkar’s directorial social comedy film Jayeshbhai Jordaar. The trailer of the film had been unveiled almost one month ago, and it had gotten a decent response from the viewers.
The advance bookings had indicated that the film seems not to create much anticipation amongst the cinephiles. The film hadn’t any pre-screening but going by trailer, it seems a message-driven film in a comical way and is meant for the multiplex audience.
Screen Counts
As per the media reports, the film is released on 2250 screens domestically and worldwide on 3500 screens. Overseas screen counts are 1250. The film becomes crucial for the industry as it suffered losses from Runway 34, Attack, Jersey, and Heropanti2.
Box Office Collection
Ranveer’s past 7 films saw the double-digit opening but those were big-ticket film and was released in pre-pandemic times barring ’83, earlier we had said that going by the trend Ranveer’s film will open with Rs 4.5 crores nett opening, or Rs 5 crores at most.
Now as per the latest report, his film opened with a disappointing start, it raked in only Rs 3.25 Cr nett much less from the estimation. Jayeshbhai Jordaar becomes Ranveer’s second-lowest opening film of his career.
His career’s second film Lady Vs Ricky Behal had an opening of Rs 4.74 Crs and we are talking about the year 2011, now after over a decade, the actor has seen the lowest figures.
