Yet another massive record has been scored by Jawan in its mind-blowing journey so far. The film has now managed a weekend (first three days) of near 180 crores, something that has never happened before in the history of Hindi film releases. The feat has been accomplished without any support of a national holiday and the best part is that a huge Sunday is still remaining for the film.
The record of the biggest first three days was set by Pathaan not too long ago when it collected 161 crores in its Hindi version earlier this year. Back then, it was supported by Republic Day, a national holiday on its second day. Here, Jawan has exceeded that number by almost 20 crores, hence raising the bar further for Hindi films that release from this point on.
This is what the top 10 weekend/first three-day collections of Hindi films look like:
Jawan [Hindi] – 180.45 crores
Pathaan [Hindi] – 161 crores
KGF – Chapter 2 [Hindi] – 143.64 crores
Gadar 2 – 134.88 crores
Baahubali – The Conclusion [Hindi] – 128 crores
Brahmastra – 122 crores
Sanju – 120.06 crores
Tiger Zinda Hai – 114.93 crores
Happy New Year – 108.86 crores
Dhoom: 3 – 107.61 crores
100 crores used to be the benchmark for weekend collections of blockbusters and while Pathaan crossed the 150 crores mark, even Gadar 2 scored quite heavily just a few weeks back. However, the collections of Jawan show that there is a good possibility of even 200 crores mark being breached in the near future. In fact if one accounts for the south versions as well then even that mark has actually been crossed by the Shah Rukh Khan starrer. However, when it comes to a single language, then we are not too far away from that happening.
Will that happen with Salman Khan’s Tiger 3, especially with its Diwali release? Let’s see.
