A Wednesday’ s box-office success turned Jimmy Sheirgill’s fate
Before September 5, 2008, Jimmy Sheirgill’s last hit at the box office was Lage Raho Munna Bhai, which was not even his well deserved hit!
It was on September 5, 2008, that a film shook the entire nation.
‘A Wednesday, Neeraj Pandey’s directorial was honest, and thought-provoking channeling the rage of a common man. The film featured Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, and Jimmy Sheirgill in the lead roles. Earning 15.46 crore worldwide, the film was a box-office success!
The film was a much-needed recognition for Jimmy who had delivered 10 back-to-back flops before finally delivering a hit at the box office. These 10 box office flops included films like Delhi Heights, Strangers & more.
The actor’s last hit at the box office was Lage Raho Munna Bhai, which heartbreakingly was not even his well deserved hit, since he played a cameo in the film. But considering, his career graph after Haasil in 2003, he did not appear much as the main lead.

The film’s success turned the fate for Jimmy Sheirgill, who was next seen in My Name Is Khan, followed by Tanu Weds Manu & Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster. All the films were successful at the box office.
Coming to ‘A Wednesday’ Budget & Collection, the film reportedly, was made on a minimal budget of 3 crore, and it went on to collect a whopping 11.45 crore at the box office, bringing 281.67% returns on the investment. The opening day collection of the film was only 37 lakh, and it earned 4 crore in the first week.
Meanwhile, the film had a theatrical run of seven weeks at the box office, which eventually brought a well-deserved success on the table.
