As anticipated, Shah Rukh Khan’s most recent cinematic endeavor, “Jawan,” directed by Atlee, made a significant splash in the realm of box office success. Hitting the screens on September 7th, this high-octane action film received rave reviews from both audiences and critics, thereby setting a historic milestone as the largest Bollywood opening ever.
According to preliminary assessments provided by industry experts, “Jawan” amassed an impressive sum of Rs. 65 crore from its Hindi version, along with Rs. 5 crore each from its Tamil and Telugu editions, culminating in a remarkable total of Rs. 75 crore in net earnings on its first day at the Indian box office.
Reports indicate that the film outperformed Shah Rukh Khan’s previous offering, “Pathaan,” which garnered Rs. 55 crore on its inaugural day. There is a strong anticipation that “Jawan” will also make a significant impact in international markets, potentially contributing an estimated Rs. 50-60 crore to its global debut earnings.
In addition to Shah Rukh Khan’s commanding presence, the movie boasts a formidable cast, with Vijay Sethupathi portraying the antagonist, Nayanthara making her Bollywood debut as the leading lady, and a special appearance by Deepika Padukone, complemented by a cameo appearance by Sanjay Dutt in the climactic scenes.
Backed by Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment, “Jawan” seems poised to shatter multiple box office records throughout its opening weekend. Official box office figures will be unveiled shortly.
