Jayeshbhai Jordaar Day 1 (Friday) Box Office Collection

Jayeshbhai Jordaar has taken a horrific start at the box office on Friday (First Day). The film reported single-digit occupancy almost all through the day. This is even shocking considering the film starred Ranveer Singh who has a decent fan following at least in metros and big cities.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar collected 3.25 crore nett approx on day 1. Disappointing! Yes, a Salman or Shah Rukh or Aamir or Hrithik starrer film is missing post-pandemic times. But even excluding them a 3-4 crore nett opening for a Bollywood movie is simply shocking. We are short of words. This same Ranveer Singh delivered blockbuster hits in Simmba, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat in pre-pandemic times.

The worst part of Jayeshbhai Jordaar's first day collection is that the first-day occupancy is around 8-10%. The film reached double digit occupancy only because the film showed some kind of growth in evening and night shows. Otherwise, whole day occupancy would have remained at the 6-8% level.

The problem is even if Jayeshbhai Jordaar shows miraculous growth from here on, where it will go? A 3 crore nett business is not at all bad if the film shows miraculous trending (like, say a Pushpa) for at least 5-6 weeks. Is that possible with two more significant film releasing next week?

Let's don't be so pessimist and hope that Jayeshbhai shows a jump of 60-70% if not more on Saturday and stays strong for at least 2-3 weeks to salvage some pride.
