More on Jayeshbhai Jordaar

Jayeshbhai Jordaar stars Ranveer Singh as a man who, unlike his parents, believes in equal rights for men and women. Shalini Pandey plays the role of his wife while Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah play his parents. Many movie-goers praised the film on the first day, yet the numbers were not impressive.

As per Sacnilk.com, the film earned approximately Rs 4 crore on Day 1. Considering the star cast of the film, the numbers are very low. As per a report by Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh, the screen count of Jayeshabhai Jordaar cannot be counted as one of the reasons for the low numbers as the movie is being showcased on 2250 screens in India. The overseas screen count of the film is 1250, making a total of 3500 screens across the world.
