JUGJUGG JEEYO scored a reasonable opening day in the range of 8.50-8.75 crore nett as it scored good collections in Delhi city, Gurgaon and Noida. These places saw collections close to BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 and better than the other original content released this year be it GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI, SAMRAT PRITHVIRAJ and BACHCHHAN PAANDEY. But the circuit of Delhi/UP was held back by collections in the state of UP. 

JUGJUGG JEEYO managed to score over GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI in Delhi/UP but not SAMRAT PRITHVIRAJ. The collections in other areas were metro based and so pockets of South was next best followed by Mumbai city. Here, this circuit was let down by Maharashtra and Gujarat. East Punjab could have done better but outside Gurgaon, the collections were very average. 

There should be some good growth on Saturday but the growth on Saturday is not like before the pandemic when 50 or 60% can come. So it really becomes about where do you land on Monday. It will all depend on the merits and how the bigger cities like the film as these will drive it in the long run.

Irrespective of the merits of the film and where it eventually goes, the opening is a plus for Varun Dhawan compared to the numbers some of his contemporaries have fetched like Shahid Kapoor (JERSEY), Tiger Shroff (HEROPANTI 2) and Ranveer Singh (JAYESHBHAI JORDAAR). Here HEROPANTI 2 had a larger reach while other two had a similar target audience to JUGJUGG JEEYO. The film to open better with a younger hero was BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 but that had a market in mass which makes a huge difference especially when Hindi circuits take to it.
