‘Failure of Alia Bhatt's Jigra did not shock us,' says Karan Johar as recalls being ‘disappointed' by the film's fate at the box office
Despite opening to widely favourable reviews and eventually making it onto several distinguished 'best Indian/Bollywood movies of 2024' lists, director Vasan Bala's action thriller Jigra, featuring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina in the lead roles, ended up being a massive box-office bomb. Mounted on a reported budget of Rs 80 crore, the movie ended up making only Rs 56 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk, delivering a heavy blow to the makers. Although disappointed by the outcome, producer Karan Johar, recently revealed that he does not regret making the movie. He went one step further and maintained that he was, in fact, 'proud of the film'. Describing Vasan's 'syntax' as individualistic and brilliant, Karan stated that he is one of the finest minds working in Bollywood now. 'Jigra had a certain syntax that was not quintessentially mainstream. We had realised that when we watched the movie. But we all believed in it together. None of us were not on the same page. We knew what we were going for. Yes, we were hoping against hope that it would find a wider audience… but we all understand it,' he shared during a chat with Suchin Mehrotra on his YouTube channel. Karan further expressed hope that the filmmaker would continue on the same path, creating films he truly believed in. 'Vasan's meta-referencing, quirks and style of absolutely breaking the grammar of filmmaking, such things may not always land, right? But should he stop making films like this because of that? No! He must always make films that he believes in,' he stated. Mentioning that he would love to collaborate with Vasan Bala again, Karan said he would gladly agree to produce another project helmed by the filmmaker, no questions asked, regardless of Jigra's outcome. He added, 'I really believe in him.' Karan continued, 'Yes, we were disappointed, dejected and sad. But we are all very proud of that film, even today. Even now, we have a group comprising Vasan, me and Alia. Vasan has a brilliant self-deprecating sense of humour. He will make fun of himself in the most unique way possible. We still send messages on that group. I do believe that a decade or two later, we will reference Jigra as something that broke ground, something that Alia, Vasan and the rest of us were so brave to do. 'I'm very proud of Jigra. There are films that I'm not proud of. This film may have failed at the box office, but to me and our studio, it's a success story. Yes, every film is flawed; we can discuss and analyse those flaws. But did it shock us when the film failed? No, we understood it, and we did discuss it. We were pragmatic enough to know that we could be in a hit-miss zone; that we may hit the bullseye or we might miss it. We were self-aware. So, its outcome did not come to us as a devastating shock to any of us,' he added.

War 2 Vs Coolie Box Office Clash To Finally End Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara's Successful Run?
Trade experts claim Saiyaara will face immense competition from Hrithik Roshan's War 2 and Rajinikanth's Coolie. Hrithik Roshan's War 2 and Rajinikanth's Coolie are set for a grand release on August 14. With only one day left for the epic box office showdown, fans are eagerly awaiting this epic box office showdown. However, what does this box office battle mean for newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara? Saiyaara has already crossed the Rs 300 crore mark and has proven to be a hit. But will it stand tall against War 2 and Coolie? In a conversation with NDTV, trade expert Komal Nahta was asked if Saiyaara's box office run will slow down after the release of War 2 and Coolie. He said, 'It's been already. With Coolie and War 2 releasing in theatres, Saiyaara will now be the fourth choice. Don't forget Mahavir Narshimha has been doing well at the box office." Echoing this sentiment, Taran Adarsh told NDTV, 'Mahavir Narshimha has already impacted the Saiyaara box office. I feel, Saiyaara will continue to run in theatres. But Coolie and War 2 will dominate the box office." Saiyaara struck an emotional chord with audiences across the globe. The film's Indian box office collection has crossed Rs 300 crore, while the global total now stands above Rs 500 crore. Alongside Ahaan and Aneet, the ensemble cast includes Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Groverr, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. If Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara's success caught the industry off guard, Mahavatar Narsimha has left it completely stunned. The animated epic stormed into theatres, proving that when given the right content, Indian audiences turn up in overwhelming numbers. Produced by Kleem Productions and Hombale Films, Mahavatar Narsimha crossed the Rs 100 crore mark with ease. However, both films' fates hang in the face of the War 2-Coolie clash. Coolie: Cast, Director, Plot Coolie is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner. Featuring a star-studded cast led by Rajinikanth, the film also stars Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Aamir Khan in prominent roles. The supporting lineup includes Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy, Kaali Venkat, and Charle. Set in a bustling coastal port town, the story follows a mysterious man who rises against a corrupt syndicate that exploits and mistreats the hardworking coolies. War 2: Cast, Director, Franchise Power War 2 is an upcoming Indian Hindi-language action thriller directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. Written by Shridhar Raghavan and Abbas Tyrewala from an original story by Chopra, the film marks the sixth instalment in the YRF Spy Universe and serves as a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War. Headlined by Hrithik Roshan, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., and Kiara Advani, the cast also features Ashutosh Rana in a key role. With massive star power, slick action, and the backing of a major franchise, all eyes are now on audience word-of-mouth. Positive reviews could be the key factor that pushes War 2 towards record-breaking numbers both domestically and internationally.
