Liger Hindi box office: Vijay Deverakonda starrer opens on a low note

One of the highly anticipated films, Liger (Hindi) was released on August 25 in the evening. Since the shows were showcased post 8 PM, Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday starrer didn’t mint money as much as expected from the film. Speaking about the Hindi version of Liger, according to Box Office India, the film managed to collect Rs 1.25 crore nett on its opening day which definitely doesn’t look like good numbers.

Interestingly, Liger has performed well in the global markets as it has managed to collect Rs 33.12 crores worldwide box office. Given the hype and the promotions, Liger failed to live up to the expectations. Amidst the negative reviews and low box-office numbers, an old tweet of the Arjun Reddy actor has gone viral where he claimed that the movie will earn more than Rs 200 crore.

In 2021, there were reports that Liger received an offer Rs 200 crore for a direct digital release. Responding to the news, Vijay tweeted, “Too little. I’ll do more in the theaters.”

Moreover, Bollywood Bubble gave 2.5 stars to Liger. A part of the review read, “Vijay Deverakonda looks absolutely dashing with his long locks and chiselled body. He shines in all the fighting scenes as this character was tailor-made for him. Vijay, Ramya Krishnan, Ronit Roy and the ring fights are the only good thing that I enjoyed in the film, rest ne dimaag ki waat laga di. Lazy writing, weak story and poor execution don’t make Liger a delightful watch. The film starts on a high note but the climax falls flat on its face.”

Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday is a pan-India film which is helmed by Puri Jagannadh. The movie is bankrolled by Dharma Productions and is scheduled to release on August 25.
