Box office – Jugjugg Jeeyo holds on, Thor: Love And Thunder drops on Day 2

Meanwhile, Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 opened poorly with a collection of just Rs1.25 crore nett.

The Dharma Productions mutli-starrer Jugjugg Jeeyo (2022) held on for a decent second Friday with a collection of about Rs90 lakh nett, taking its overall collection to Rs70 crore, according to the trade website BoxOfficeIndia.com.

The family drama, directed by Raj Mehta, faced competition from the Hollywood franchise film Thor: Love And Thunder (2022) this week, but the Hindi film’s collection is slated to improve on the weekend when its core audience is expected to return to the multiplexes. The film could reach the Rs80 crore mark over the next week or so.

The fourth Marvel film on the Norse god Thor earned Rs18.5 crore nett on Thursday but faced a slight drop on Friday with Rs11.5 crore nett, taking its overall collection to Rs30 crore, according to BoxOfficeIndia.com. More fans of the franchise are expected to turn up over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2 (2022), starring Vidyut Jammwal, opened poorly with collections of Rs1.25 crore nett, according to BoxOfficeIndia.com. Like last week’s action film Rashtra Kavach Om (2022), it hasn’t really pulled audiences into theatres. The first film, Khuda Haafiz (2020), with the same leads and director, had been premiered on Disney+ Hotstar.
