Vicky Vidya vs Jigra Box Office collection: Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, was released alongside Alia Bhatt's movie Jigra on October 11.
Although the two movies belong to different genres, there has been ongoing box office competition between them.
Jigra, before its release, gained a lot of attention from viewers, however, the film has not been well-received by the audience. The film has been surrounded by a lot of controversy, right from the Bhatts being accused of rigging collections to actor Divya Khosla Kumar raising concerns about plagiarism of the script.
Helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video claims to offer a “perfect blend of laughter and drama, immersing viewers in the charm and energy of the swinging 90s.”
Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina and Manoj Pahwa, follows the journey of Satya, a young woman who goes to great lengths to free her brother Ankur, who is imprisoned in a foreign jail. Produced under the banner of Dharma Productions and presented by Viacom18 Studios and Eternal Sunshine Productions, Jigra is co-written by Debashish Irengbam and Vasan Bala.
