The highly anticipated trailers of two very different films, Jigra and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, are already making waves ahead of their release on October 11, 2024. However, in just 12 hours, the trailer for the comedy-drama ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ has earned more likes than the action-thriller Jigra, despite the latter being out for five days. The Rajkummar Rao starrer has captured the attention of the audience with 3.37+ lakh, surpassing Jigra, which has garnered 2.18+ lakh likes on YouTube so far.
Jigra, starring Alia Bhatt and Vedang Raina, is an emotional action-thriller focusing on the deep bond between a brother and sister. Directed by Vasan Bala, the film explores a journey filled with pain, determination and courage as the sister fights for her brother’s freedom. Known for playing challenging roles, Alia Bhatt’s portrayal is expected to touch hearts. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Alia Bhatt, Shaheen Bhatt and Soumen Mishra under Dharma Productions and Eternal Sunshine Productions. It is also an adaptation of Dharma’s 1993 film Gumrah, adding to the film’s legacy.
On the other hand, ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ offers a lighthearted escape with its quirky plot set in the 90s. The story revolves around the chaos that ensues in a small town when a VHS tape containing an intimate video of Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Tripti Dimri) circulates. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film promises to be a hilarious ride and Rajkummar Rao’s winning streak in 2024 with films like Srikanth, Mr. & Mrs. Mahi and Stree 2 has fans eagerly awaiting his next comic caper.
Social media reactions have been pouring in for both trailers. While some Reddit users expressed their excitement for ‘VVKWWV’, calling it entertaining, others are excited to see the clash between Tripti Dimri and Alia Bhatt. One user commented, “VV will probably be a much bigger hit, Jigra looks a little too dark for the current climate.” Another added, “Tbh I’m more excited for VV rather than Jigra. It’s so entertaining.”
Although both films are set for a box-office clash, the two vastly different genres are likely to attract distinct audiences. While Jigra explores the emotional intensity of sibling relationships through action-packed sequences, ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ looks to provide a refreshing comedic break with its unique storyline. Both films promise something new and exciting, making October 11 a day to look forward to for film enthusiasts.
With Jigra’s gripping narrative and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’s humorous twist, the clash between these films has already generated significant buzz among audiences from their trailer releases. It will be interesting to see which film captures the audience’s hearts on release day.
