Jug Jugg Jeeyo: Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor-starrer Jug Jugg Jeeyo has earned a good amount at the box office on the first day of its release. Due to the different themes of the film, its collections on Saturdays and Sundays are all set to increase with family audiences coming to the theatres. The biggest opening film in Varun Dhawan's career so far has been 'Kalank', although the film flopped due to its budget. According to preliminary figures, the film has done a business of around Rs 9.50 crore on its first day.

Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga: Pankaj Tripathi-starrer 'Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga', which was released this Friday, has not been able to attract a lot of audiences, in comparison to Dharma Production’s Jug Jugg Jeeyo. In such a situation, it is difficult to say whether the film will be able to perform well or not. Talking about the earnings of the film on its day, according to the initial figures, this film collected about Rs 1 crore on the first day, while the film was made on a budget of Rs 10 crore.

Will Jug Jugg Jeeyo come close to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2? While Jug Jugg Jeeyo has had a good start at the box office, the film is expected to better at the box office. However, all eyes would be on whether the film can come close to Kartik Aaryan-starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 or not. Kartik’s film, also a family entertainer, just like Jug Jugg Jeeyo, has become the biggest Bollywood blockbuster of the year.
