7th August 2023, Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan’s latest Bollywood offering, ‘Jawan,’ is making history at the box office, shattering records with its remarkable opening. The film, directed by Atlee, is poised to redefine the Box Office landscape from its very first day.
‘Jawan’ isn’t just achieving record-breaking opening
‘Jawan’ has rewritten the playbook by registering the highest advance sales for a Bollywood film, both in India and worldwide. On its opening day, the film has crossed the staggering Rs 40 crore mark in terms of gross earnings, a feat that is nothing short of extraordinary. The pre-sales for the four-day extended weekend are estimated to be around Rs 70 crore gross, a figure that is both exceptional and seemingly unbelievable. What’s even more impressive is that ‘Jawan’ isn’t just achieving record-breaking opening day figures in India; it’s making waves globally. This Bollywood blockbuster is set to post the most significant four-day weekend numbers ever recorded for a Bollywood film.
Jawan Advance Booking
Reports suggest that Friday’s pre-sales (the second day) for ‘Jawan’ are approximately Rs 5 crore, followed by Rs 13 crore for Saturday (the third day), and Rs 10 crore for Sunday (the fourth day). These numbers were compiled as of 11 pm on Wednesday, September 6. If ‘Jawan’ maintains this momentum, fueled by positive word-of-mouth, it is poised to achieve an astonishing first weekend with collections expected to range from Rs 250-260 crore nett in India alone.
