After two full weeks of release, Jawan is still refusing to slip below two-digit hauls, and with the weekend around the corner, it looks like the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer will hold off for a few more days before dropping down to single digits. On day 14 of release, the film is estimated to have made Rs 10 crore across all languages in India, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. This takes the blockbuster’s domestic collection to Rs 518 crore.

Jawan vs Pathaan

Jawan debuted on September 7 to record-breaking numbers, and continued setting new benchmarks across the next few days. It overtook Shah Rukh’s own Pathaan on opening day, opening week, and soon, it’ll surpass Pathaan’s lifetime nett haul of Rs 543 crore as well, and become the biggest Hindi-language hit of all time. Jawan also passed the Rs 100 crore, Rs 200 crore, Rs 300 crore and Rs 400 crore barriers in record time, indicating its steady popularity among the masses. It also set the records for the biggest single day haul, making Rs 80 crore across India on its first Sunday.

Directed by Atlee and co-starring Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, Jawan was also released in Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions, which have grossed over Rs 50 crore combined. Globally, the movie passed the Rs 900 crore mark yesterday, and has now made Rs 907 crore worldwide. Shah Rukh is now the only Bollywood star to have delivered two $100 million-plus grossers in one calendar year, and with Dunki just a few months away, he is looking at a hattrick of hits.

Shah Rukh bounced back after a nearly five-year sabbatical with Pathaan, which turned Bollywood’s fortunes around after an uncertain couple of years. Pathaan’s success was followed by a string of romantic drama hits such as Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Satyaprem Ki Katha and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. This year has now delivered three of the biggest Hindi-language hits of all time, with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 currently sandwiched between Jawan and Pathaan.
