The highly anticipated Diwali clash between ‘Jigarthanda DoubleX’ and ‘Japan’ took center stage, captivating audiences and dominating screens during the initial weekend. As both films kick off their second week today, we bring you the latest box office updates.
‘Jigarthanda DoubleX,’ a period drama, has witnessed a steady rise since its debut, earning acclaim from both audiences and celebrities alike. The positive reception has translated into solid occupancy numbers throughout the first week. The film, starring Ragahava Lawrence and SJ Suryah, has amassed an impressive worldwide box office collection of approximately Rs 43 crore by the end of the first week. Buoyed by this success, ‘Jigarthanda DoubleX’ has secured additional screens for the second week, with expectations to surpass the Rs 50 crore mark by the end of the weekend.
On the flip side, Karthi’s ‘Japan’ experienced a decline in performance as the days unfolded, resulting in a loss of screens across various centers. Despite receiving below-average reviews from audiences, the film managed to gross over Rs 25 crore by the close of the first week. Notably, ‘Japan’ contributed around Rs 15 crore to its total collection from Tamil Nadu. Directed by Raju Murugan, the heist thriller failed to leave a lasting impression, and the second-week collection is anticipated to be challenging.
In summary, ‘Jigarthanda DoubleX’ emerges as the front-runner in this Diwali clash, maintaining a stronghold at the box office, while ‘Japan’ faces an uphill battle in its second week. Stay tuned for further updates on these cinematic showdowns.
