word
of
mouth,

Earlier,
before
the
film
hit
the
marquee,
director
Raj
Mehta
had
admitted
that
he
is
anxious
about
Jugjugg
Jeeyo's
release
with
the
lackluster
performance
of
Hindi
films
at
the
box
office
in
recent
times.
The
filmmaker
was
quoted
as
saying,
"There
are
new
theories
coming
out
every
week
about
what
kind
of
films
will
work
or
won't.
Some
say
the
trend
is
of
big
films,
some
say
that's
not
the
case
entirely.
There's
a
lot
of
uncertainty,
I
don't
think
anyone
knows
what's
going
to
work.
Does
that
add
to
the
anxiety?
Absolutely.
Because
you
can
never
be
confident
that
you've
made
a
film
that's
going
to
do
well.
This
is
my
second
film,
I'm
following
up
a
successful
debut,
so
there's
that
pressure
as
well.
But
the
times
are
such
that
you
don't
know
what
is
going
to
work."
He
further
added,
"There's
nervousness
but
I'm
also
excited.
What
is
reassuring
me
is
that
the
person
who
I'm
responsible
towards,
the
producer
of
the
film,
has
enjoyed
the
film,
seen
it
and
loved
it."
Jugjugg
Jeeyo
marks
Neetu
Kapoor's
comeback
on
the
celluoid
after
a
long
sabbatical.
