The blockbuster action drama “Jawan” continues to thrive, consistently earning over Rs 1 crore daily, even though it has been in theaters for more than a month and faced multiple competitors. On its 33rd day of release, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer is estimated to have grossed Rs 1.05 crore across all languages in India, with a predominant focus on Hindi screenings at this stage.
During its fifth weekend, “Jawan” added an impressive Rs 6 crore to its record-breaking total, which now stands at Rs 625 crore, including Monday’s earnings of Rs 1 crore. “Jawan” has become the first Hindi film to surpass the Rs 600 crore mark, solidifying its position as the highest-grossing Bollywood movie in history. The only question remaining is whether it can extend its lead over “Pathaan” to a staggering Rs 100 crore. “Pathaan,” released earlier this year, initially held the title of the highest-grossing Hindi film in India with Rs 543 crore before being surpassed by “Jawan.”
Directed by Atlee, “Jawan” was designed to appeal to a pan-Indian audience, although it garnered approximately Rs 60 crore from its Tamil and Telugu versions. The film also featured Tamil stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in significant roles. “Jawan” shattered numerous records during its theatrical run, including the biggest opening day, opening weekend, and opening week for a Hindi-language film. It also achieved rapid milestones, becoming the fastest Hindi film to reach significant box office landmarks.
Globally, “Jawan” now ranks as the fifth highest-grossing Indian film ever, with a total gross of Rs 1,117 crore. It follows “KGF: Chapter 2,” “RRR,” “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion,” and “Dangal” in terms of global box office earnings. Shah Rukh Khan returned to acting after nearly a five-year hiatus with “Pathaan” and continued his successful run with “Jawan.” The question remains whether he can maintain this momentum with “Dunki,” set to release around Christmas. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film is expected to offer a change of pace from the high-budget action of “Pathaan” and “Jawan.”
