Janhit Mein Jaari box office Day 1: Nushrratt Bharuccha starrer’s shows cancelled, Rs 2 crore lifetime collection predicted

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the film opened quite poorly across the nation, and just like Akshay Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj the week before, suffered the cancellation of multiple shows due to a poor footfall. Some shows reportedly attracted audiences in the single digits. Nushrratt’s film is also facing stiff competition from Jurassic World Dominion, which seems to be a favourite among moviegoers, and has made Rs 8 crore so far.

Trade experts predict that the opening weekend of Janhit Mein Jaari will be around a crore, with lifetime total under Rs 2 crore.

In her review of the film, Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “What makes this film, at least its first half, such good fun is the writing. It’s light and funny, and the characters do their job well, as we see the Bollywood small town (clearly, Chanderi in MP is the new ‘It’ town) in throes of a ‘sasur-bahu’ saga. Manokamna’s parents’ home is dubbed Condom Niwas, the father-in-law goes blue in the face when he discovers the true nature of his ‘kamaau bahu’s (earning daughter-in-law) job, the husband is more a dutiful son than a supportive husband, and barbs fly thick and fast,” giving the film two and a half star rating.
