Shahid Kapoor’s Jersey released on the 20th o April, a week after the much anticipated Yash starrer KGF: Chapter 2 hit the screens. The craze for the latter was evident with the way it was breaking records. Caught in the storm starred up by the dubbed version of the Kannada film, the Gowtam Tinnanuri helmed film seems to have suffered the consequences. At least that is what Jersey’s first weekend collection points at.
According to a report in Box Office India, Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur starrer Jersey managed to mint just Rs. 5.20 crores on Sunday, taking the total of the film to be around Rs. 14 crores. The film had a low opening as well, earning just Rs. 3.20 crores. The report further stated, “The film just could not collect in mass pockets be it Maharashtra, Gujarat or MP. The best collections came in NCR and bigger cities of Punjab. KGF 2 was there for the mass states but that is not the reason why collections were low in these pockets. Its more to with the zone the film is in and these types which are relying on the second and third day audience to propel them are finding it tough going post the pandemic.”
It is to be noted that in the same weekend, KGF: Chapter 2’s Hindi dubbed version managed to collect a whopping Rs. 51 crores at the box office. The film has crossed the 300 crore mark, and it steadily moving forward to break more records.
It is also to be noted that Shahid Kapoor himself has been able to create box office magic. In fact, his last film, Kabir Singh, was the second highest grosser of the year 2019, and managed to draw the audiences for weeks after its release.
Jersey is the remake of a Telugu film of the same name. Starring Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapur, the film is about a retired cricketer returning back to the field in a bid to gain respect from his son.
