Jawan's seventh-day box office earnings: Shah Rukh Khan's mega-hit is set to surpass Rs 700 cr globally today, marking the most significant one-week revenue in Bollywood history
On its seventh day at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee's hit movie 'Jawan' is poised to exceed Rs 350 crore domestically and Rs 700 crore globally, recording the most impressive initial week earnings in Bollywood's annals
Atlee's directorial venture featuring Shah Rukh Khan, "Jawan", continues to dominate the box office, both in India and globally. Following an unprecedented week on the big screen, the net collection of Jawan in India has reached Rs 328 crore, with its worldwide gross surpassing Rs 600 crore. This milestone sets a new record for the largest first-week collection of any Bollywood film. Industry analyst Sacnilk reported that on its seventh day, the film garnered an additional Rs 23 crore net in the domestic market.
Meanwhile, Red Chillies Entertainment stated the movie's global earnings reached Rs 660.03 crore. According to Box Office Worldwide, "Jawan" is on track to breach the Rs 700 crore gross threshold globally as it wraps up its extended premiere week.
awan debuted last Thursday, on the holiday of Janmashtami, when it made Rs 75 crore nett in India — the biggest-ever debut for a Hindi film. It peaked on day three, when it made Rs 80 crore across India. Jawan also earned the distinction of having grossed over Rs 100 crore globally on its first three days of release. Collections refused to tank even as it entered the week; Jawan made Rs 32 crore in India on Monday and Rs 26 crore on Tuesday. Wednesday’s occupancy for the Hindi-language release was 23%, with the night shows once again accounting for the biggest returns. Mumbai and Delhi-NCR, the film’s two most lucrative regions, reported occupancy of 24% and 25%, respectively.
Jawan, which has been designed as Shah Rukh’s first pan-India release, was also released in Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions. Tamil-language occupancy for day seven stood at 15%, while Telugu-language occupancy stood at 23%. Directed by Atlee, who is best known for his films with Tamil superstar Vijay, Jawan also features Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in supporting roles.
Meanwhile, the blockbuster film Gadar 2 appears to be slowing down at the box office, after raking in Rs 516 crore. Gadar 2 is still around Rs 27 crore shy of overtaking Pathaan’s all-time record as the biggest Hindi-language hit of all time in India. But as things stand, it looks like Jawan will not only overtake Gadar in the coming few days, but Pathaan as well. Pathaan served as Shah Rukh’s grand return to form after a self-imposed five-year sabbatical following the back-to-back underperformance of several of his movies.
