The action thriller marked the first collaboration between Shah Rukh and director Atlee, and from the response we have witnessed for the film, it’s evident that the audience has loved the duo coming together to give a commercial potboiler. It also marked Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara’s debut in Bollywood.
Upon its release, Jawan opened to positive reviews from critics and highly favorable word-of-mouth. On the opening day itself, the verdict for the film was out, and it was clear that it would have legs at the box office. Released on 7th September, the biggie recently completed 50 days in theatres, and as per the last update, the collection at the Indian box office stands at 640.42 crores net.
Apart from the collection, Jawan is also an all-time blockbuster in terms of footfalls. As per Sacnilk, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer has recorded 3.63 crore footfalls at the Indian box office in 50 days. For the Hindi version, it’s 3.12 crore footfalls. With this, it has left Pathaan way behind. The Spy Universe thriller, which was released in January this year, recorded 3.49 crore footfalls.
With 3.63 crore footfalls, Jawan has also surpassed Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to become Shah Rukh Khan’s second biggest hit in terms of viewership in Indian theatres. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is at the top, and it seems that the record will remain unbreakable for a long time.
