JugJugg Jeeyo box office: Anil Kapoor film earns over ₹36 crore in first weekend

JugJugg Jeeyo, the family drama starring Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Kiara Advani and Varun Dhawan, had a good weekend with its total box office collection coming to more than ₹36 crore. 

The film released in theatres on Friday and received positive reviews from critics. It also stars Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Koli. 

The Raj Mehta directorial had a decent opening on Friday, but registered an impressive growth during the weekend. 

After showing an improvement of around 34 percent on Saturday, it further grew to register Sunday collections of around ₹14.50 crore.

A Boxofficeindia.com report states: "JugJugg Jeeyo did pretty well on Sunday as it collected around ₹14.50 crore nett as the mass markets show very good growth on Sunday and it has reasonably growth of 20 percent overall."

Ahead of the film's release, director Raj Mehta, who earlier delivered a hit in Good Newwz, said that he was nervous as many big films haven't worked at the box office lately.
