Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina-starrer 'Jigra' hit the theatres on October 11. The film directed by Vasan Bala was among the much-awaited films of the year with its promotional material hitting the right notes. However, on release day, the film opened to polarised reviews. While some adored the film and Alia's ferocious act as the protective sister, some found the film underwhelming. Some audience was also bothered by the length of the film which has a runtime of 2 hours 33 minutes. 

The box office performance of Jigra on day 1 has also been underwhelming. The film collected Rs 4.55 cr which makes this Alia's second lowest opening day collection, only above Highway (Rs 3.42cr).
