Ranbir Kapoor’s musical comedy, ‘Jagga Jassos’ received an average collection at the Box Office on its first day. The film collected Rs 8.25 crore on Friday. Over the weekend, ‘Jagga Jasoos’ witnessed a meagre growth in collections at the Box Office, with making Rs 11 crore on Saturday and Rs 12.50 crore on Sunday. Having released on 1,800 plus screens in India, ‘Jagga Jasoos’ managed a collection of Rs 31.75 crore by the end of three days after its release. The film has been in the making since the past three years and marks Ranbir Kapoor’s debut as a producer. ‘Jagga Jasoos’ was made on a massive budget of approximately Rs 110 crore. Buzz is that the filmmakers may find it difficult to recover the hefty budget, going by the current Box Office response. It remains to be seen if the star power of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif can pull off this staggering budget.
While it could be a bit too early to term ‘Jagga Jasoos’ a hit or a flop, the Bollywood film went through a lot of ups and downs during its making. Though several portions were re-shot, Govinda’s part was chopped off from the film, and the schedules too were changed many times following Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s bitter break-up. All these factors added to ‘Jagga Jasoos’ finances, and the film stretched for three long years.
