In comparison, "Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video," featuring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, outperformed "Jigra" slightly with an opening day earning of Rs 5 crore net in India. Rajkummar Rao's recent success with "Stree 2" has likely contributed to the positive reception of his new film.

Critics have praised "Jigra," with News18 giving it an impressive rating of 4.6 stars. A review highlighted that despite its 2 hours and 35 minutes runtime, the film remains engaging from start to finish. The final jailbreak sequence promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, making them root for the lead character, Satya. The background score, composed by Achint Thakkar, enhances the emotional impact of the film, particularly with a new-age rendition of "Phoolon Ka Taron Ka" that resonates with audiences.

Overall, "Jigra" has made a solid start at the box office, setting the stage for its future performance.
