Aishwarya's Jazbaa fails to sway box office

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's much-hyped comeback film “Jazbaa” is likely to be announced a damp squib if the opening day figures, Rs 3.75 crores, are anything to go by.

The film's collections are among this year's poorest and lag behind the day one collections of “Katti Batti” and “Hero”. It is also way behind the year's biggest openers, “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” and “Singh Is Bliing”, which crossed Rs 20 crores on their opening day.

Aishwarya's last film, 2010's “Guzaarish”, made almost Rs 4 crores when it opened. Her career best opener is 2006's “Dhoom: 2” which had made Rs 5.85 crores.

Meanwhile, “Talvar”, starring Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma, continues to remain 'rock-steady.'
