“I wanted to be Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan but I had to be Ranbir Kapoor”

According to trade experts, Jug Jug Jio’s lifetime collection could reach up to Rs 75 crores. Directed by Raj Mehta, this family entertainer is receiving positive response from all sections of the audience. Especially the couple of Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor impressed everyone a lot.

Let me tell you that it was included in the top 5 highest grossing movies of this year. This year Kashmir Files (Rs 252.50 crores), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 185 crores), Gangubai Kathiawadi (Rs 128 crores) and Samrat Prithviraj (Rs 66 crores) are leading in terms of earnings. They are followed by Jug Jug Jio.

Tellingly, 2022 was quite cold at the box office in terms of Bollywood movies. So far this year, 17 Hindi films have been released. Of which only two were superhits. While Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi is above average. All other films flopped at the box office.
