Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif‘s Jagga Jasoos was one of the most exciting films of the year, however, it failed to make an impact at the domestic box office. In fact, after a decent weekend, the movie saw a sharp dip on Monday. And over the first week, the downward spiral has continued. Jagga Jasoos is even struggling to touch the Rs 50 crore mark. In such a situation, we are wondering as to how much will Ranbir and Katrina’s film earn in its lifetime run? We called trade expert, Akshaye Rathi (exhibitor and distributor) to know more about this and here’s what he had to say…
Talking about the film’s lifetime collection and how it will fare in the second weekend, Akshaye revealed to us exclusively, “Jagga Jasoos released in 1800 screens, so in the second weekend, I guess it should hold about 900 screens. It will largely be present in the multiplexes and will be out from most of the single screens. So obviously, we will see a drop in collections. It should conveniently end up with a lifetime run of Rs 55-60 crore.” Considering that Jagga Jasoos was made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, the makers might face huge losses.

In fact, with three interesting films like Tiger Shroff‘s Munna Michael, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Konkona Sen Sharma’s Lipstick Under My Burkha releasing this Friday (July 21), Jagga Jasoos will surely see a further dip in collections. Sadly, even though Ranbir Kapoor has delivered one of his best performances yet, the audience has not connected or enjoyed the movie as much as we expected it to. The critics haven’t also raved about the movie. Our critic, Tushar P Joshi, also mentioned in his review, “Jagga Jasoos is only worth a watch for Ranbir Kapoor’s class act. As a musical, the film falters on several notes.” (ALSO READ – Is Ranbir Kapoor blaming Anurag Basu for Jagga Jasoos’ delay and eventual failure?)
