JJ review and BO 2 - DTN pg17 & 35, 36 - Page 29

Jagga Jasoos is looking to fold up at a little under 54 crore nett with its business standing at around 53 crore nett after 18 days. The film is a big flop and the losses are similar to Mohenjo Daro. This was always in the cards when the first theatrical came with the main lead not uttering a word. You may have got away with it Barfi! but that was less than half the cost. That film may have found a decent audience at the theatres but just a look at what happened to that film post release with disaster results on television would have shown limited appreciation and an impossible task to recover well over 100 crore. The business of Jagga Jasoos till date is as follows.

Week One - 43,12,00,000

Second Week - 8,57,00,000

Third Week - 1,20,00,000 (4 days)

TOTAL - 52,89,00,000

The Overseas business will be around $3 million which will mean a final worldwide gross of less than 100 crore at around 90 crore. Mohenjo Daro managed to cross 100 crore worldwide due to better numbers in Overseas markets.
