Priyanka
Chopra
starrer
Jai
Gangaajal
which
was
directed
by
Prakash
Jha
did
not
perform
well
on
the
opening
day
at
the
Indian
Box
Office.
The
film
obtained
mixed
reactions
from
people
and
critics
just
declared
is
an
average
film
with
an
outstanding
performance
by
Priyanka
Chopra.
The
lead
actresses
apparently
poured
her
blood
and
sweat
into
this
role
and
it
showed
but
unfortunately
the
direction
and
screenplay
did
not
support
her.
The
fact
that
director
Prakash
Jha
hogged
the
limelight
in
the
film
futher
disappointed
the
viewers.
Such
reviews
resulted
in
low
occupancy!
The
film's
occupancy
was
just
around
10-15%
during
the
morning
shows
in
multiplexes.
Since
the
film
is
based
in
Bihar,
the
northern
belt
did
better,
meaning
Uttar
Pradesh
and
the
Central
India
circuits
had
better
occupancy.
The
film
was
made
on
a
meagre
budget
of
Rs
10
crores
and
released
in
over
2600
screens.
Jai
Gangaajal
now
wholely
depends
on
good
word
of
mouth
publicity.
The
fact
that
Priyanka
Chopra
was
busy
with
her
Hollywood
ventures
and
could
not
dedicated
time
to
promote
the
film
has
affected
it
badly.
Hopefully
her
fans
rush
to
theaters
over
the
weekend
and
the
word
of
mouth
publicity
kicks
in,
resulting
in
better
Box
Office
collection
over
the
weekend.
As
of
now,
the
film
is
expected
to
collect
just
Rs
2-3
crores
on
the
opening
day.
The
fact
that
the
budget
is
low
is
saving
grace
for
the
makers
because
worst
case
scenario
they
will
at
least
recover
the
making
cost
even
if
they
can't
hit
the
big
numbers.
Meanwhile
her
popularity
is
only
increasing
with
the
actress
crossing
13
million
mark
on
Twitter.
The
33-year-old
actress
thanked
all
her
fans
and
hoped
that
her
"crazy
ride" continues.
"13
million
and
counting...
Blessed!
Here's
to
continuing
our
mad,
crazy
ride,"
Priyanka
posted.
Hopefully
these
fans
turn
up
at
the
theater
and
help
her
film
become
a
big
hit!
