The family comic drama starring Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor has performed much better than most Hindi films with popular stars released this year, but it hasn't made enough to be called a hit. As per trade sources, the film was made on a budget of around Rs90 to Rs95 crore.

There isn’t much expected from this week’s new release, Rashtra Kavach OM, which stars Aditya Roy Kapur. This might help Jugjugg Jeeyo but not to a large extent.
