Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani-starrer crossed the Rs 50 crore threshold in its first week itself. On July 7, it faced stiff competition from Thor, after which it faced a steep drop. According to Box Office India, “Jugjugg Jeeyo held well in its second week as it collected around 19 crore nett to take its business to 69.25 crore nett in two weeks. The drop in the second week is 62% which is a good trend for the film. The film got hit on Thursday as Thor – Love And Thunder released and the film lost screens which was always going to happen.”

“The lifetime of the film will determined by the third Friday and as the drop has come on Thursday it may not drop on Friday which would keep it on course for an 80 crore nett finish. The film will see huge growth on Saturday as that NCR audience comes out again in numbers. Also if Friday does not drop it will mean a run for another two weeks as there is no Thor next week and the releases look weak,” the report stated.
