Jigarthanda DoubleX: Cast, plot, box office collection, and other details
Jigarthanda DoubleX, also known as Jigarthanda 2, is a Western action comedy film and the sequel to the 2014 film Jigarthanda. The storyline centers around a collaboration between a gangster and a filmmaker to create a Western film.
The film boasts a talented cast, including Raghava Lawrence, Shine Tom Chacko, Bava Chelldurai, Naveen Chandra, S.J. Suryah, Nimisha Sajayan, and Ilavarasu. Jigarthanda Double X is produced by Stone Bench Films in collaboration with Five Star Creations and Ivenio Origins.
Discussing its box office collection, the movie received a positive reaction from the audience. It accumulated USD 0.5 million gross. This includes a collection of USD 0.46 million in all of India, coupled with an overseas collection of USD 0.26 million gross.
However, despite receiving positive reviews from the audience, the movie experienced a significant decline in its box office collection.
With a total budget of around USD 11 million, the movie only managed to collect approximately USD 7.9 million after its three-week exclusive theatrical run, which was less than ideal. This collection figure was achieved even in the absence of any significant competition in theaters at that time.
It will be intriguing to see how the movie performs on the online platform as it approaches its OTT release, including the upcoming English dub version.
