After an electrifying and spectacular opening weekend at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan’s latest action-packed entertainer, “Jawan,” experienced a notable decline in its Monday collections, leaving many in awe. The movie, which hit screens on September 7th, made an explosive debut with unanimous blockbuster reviews and record-breaking earnings over the weekend.
Particularly on Sunday, the Hindi version of “Jawan” raked in a staggering 70Cr+ net, but come Monday, the numbers dwindled to 27Cr, representing less than 40% of the Sunday box office haul. The Bollywood trade circles speculated that the high-profile cricket match between India and Pakistan might have impacted the film’s Monday earnings.
Nonetheless, the substantial drop, given the movie’s outstanding reviews and positive word of mouth, has taken everyone by surprise. The dubbed versions of the film also experienced a significant dip in collections on Monday, and the numbers from the southern states were far from encouraging.
Today’s figures will provide more insight into the movie’s future performance. “Jawan,” directed by Atlee, boasts a star-studded cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Jaffer Sadique, Sanya Malhotra, and Priyamani in lead roles. The film’s music, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, has also been widely appreciated. The industry eagerly awaits to see how “Jawan” fares in the coming weeks.
