Alia Bhatt’s rescue-thriller Jigra has managed to get Rs 4.55 crore on Day 1 at the box-office, according to Sacnilk.com. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film also stars Vedang Raina, Manoj Pahwa, Rahul Ravindran, Vivek Gomber.

The film had an overall Hindi occupancy of 20.13 percent on Friday. Its worldwide collection stands at Rs 7.45 crore. The film clashed at the theatres with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri starrer Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.

It is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Alia’s Eternal Sunshine Productions.

CE’s review of the film read, “Once the genre conventions kick in, Jigra starts taking longer and longer leaps of faith. Everything that is deemed to be “complex” gets done laughably easily. The escape mechanisms are a mishmash of every prison-break thriller. We have a written message being transported in the jail’s food supply, an underground tunnel and ultimately a fire and a riot. All of this is piled up like an uneven Jenga set, which can’t help but topple.”
