The box office game has always been unpredictable. But post-pandemic, it is delivering many surprises as well as shocks to even the biggest of experts. The Shahid Kapoor-starrer  Jersey  was released on April 22. It seemed like a film that would manage to grow with a word of mouth and then sustain well in cinemas on the weekdays. However, the film had a very poor opening of Rs. 3.75 crore. Though the film grew on Saturday and collected Rs. 5.50 crore, it collected a similar amount on Sunday, though one expected the collection to rise on Day 3. On Monday, as expected, the film crashed and collected around Rs. 1.75 crore.

We asked trade experts what went wrong with Jersey. Trade veteran Taran ...
