Shahid Kapoor starrer stays flat in first weekend; KGF 2 is not the only reason for lack of growth

Jersey movie has stayed flat in its first weekend at the box office, and no, KGF 2 is not the only reason for the lack of growth of the Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur starrer. Jersey just did not find many takers in Maharashtra, Gujarati, MP, UP and more key markets. It mostly clicked at in NCR and Punjab due to the local Punjabi flavor of the film. To put it simply, beside the KGF Chaoter 2 tsunami, Jersey has more or less not found favor with the audience due to its overt dramatic content, which viewers don’t seem to be in the mood of these days.

Giving Jersey 3.5 out of 5 stars in its review, BollywoodLife wrote: “Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur starrer Jersey is a fairly solid sports film, underdog take, and family drama all rolled into one, without ever being remarkable, which is expected as it was the same with its carbon-copy original. It should serve more rewards though for those who haven’t seen the Telugu movie, starring Nani. It’s rare that an actor outdoes the original performance, especially in a remake that stays so true to the original, which makes both Shahid Kapoor and Pankaj Kapur’s work all the more praiseworthy. Mrunal Thakur and the rest of the cast also do a fine job. ” Also Read – Runway 34 actor Ajay Devgn hails new generation of actors; says, ‘We need to pull up our socks or will become redundant’

A good movie has been affected because the audience’s taste post the COVID-19 pandemic has clearly veered toward full-blown commercial cinema and greater-than-life heroism. Jersey needs to hold at the same level on Monday as its Friday collection, but that seems nigh impossible given its inability to jump on Sunday.
