6th September 2023, Mumbai: The anticipation for Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming release, “Jawan,” has reached unprecedented heights, with a whopping 75 lakh tickets already sold in India. The film, directed by Atlee, is poised to be a game-changer, setting new box office records and solidifying Shah Rukh Khan’s status as an even bigger brand.
Jawan To Attract Audiences In Large Number
The buzz around “Jawan” is part of a broader resurgence in the Hindi film industry, with audiences eagerly returning to cinemas after nearly three years of pandemic-induced closures. Movies like “Gadar 2,” “Satyaprem Ki Katha,” “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” “OMG 2,” and even smaller films like “Zara Hatke Zara Bachke” have played a significant role in bringing people back to theaters.
Jawan to Break Advance Indian Box Office Records?
Shah Rukh Khan’s star power has undeniably contributed to the record-breaking advance sales of “Jawan.” The film trade is buzzing with expectations, and there’s a strong belief that “Jawan” will easily cross the Rs 100 crore mark on its opening day, making it a monumental success. The film is releasing in over 4.5k screens, and the national multiplexes alone have sold over 3 lakh tickets for the opening day. The film’s buzz extends beyond traditional Bollywood territories. In Tamil Nadu, the excitement for “Jawan” is on par with that of a local star’s movie, thanks to director Atlee’s track record of delivering hits. Even in other southern states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, the buzz is significantly higher compared to other Hindi films.
Jawan to open with 5-7 Crore?
Shah Rukh Khan, in a bid to tap into the southern territory, has chosen a role that resonates with the hardcore South Indian film audience. “Jawan” has created ripples in the South, where it is being seen as a big-ticket Hindi release. The film’s pre-release event, broadcast on Sun TV, further fueled the excitement. Experts predict that “Jawan” could easily earn Rs 15-20 crore in the entire South, making it a significant success in non-traditional Hindi markets. In Tamil Nadu alone, the film is expected to earn Rs 5-7 crore on its opening day, surpassing the records set by previous Hindi-dubbed films.
Jawan’s Magic
The reopening of around 30 single-screen cinemas in the Hindi belt, which had remained closed during the pandemic, speaks volumes about the industry’s optimism surrounding “Jawan.” The film is poised to breathe new life into these cinemas and provide a much-needed boost to the film fraternity. All of these factors have led to sky-high expectations for “Jawan.” Trade analysts believe that the film could easily cross the Rs 65-70 crore mark on its opening day, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
As audiences eagerly await the release of “Jawan,” it’s clear that the film is not just a movie; it’s a cinematic event, a celebration of the return of Hindi cinema to the big screen, and a testament to the enduring appeal of Shah Rukh Khan. The stage is set for “Jawan” to make history, and fans can’t wait to witness the spectacle on September 7th.
