After almost a month of absolute domination, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan registered its lowest day yet at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film picked up an estimated Rs 2.5 crore on its fourth Tuesday, day 27 of release, and has now netted a total of Rs 614 crore in India.

The film had an excellent fourth weekend, making Rs 24 crore and continuing its spectacular run, which began in early September with record-breaking numbers. Jawan opened to Rs 75 crore on day one, a record, but peaked on its first Sunday, when it made Rs 80 crore across India. It has since become the biggest Hindi movie in India, and the second-biggest worldwide behind Dangal.

It also broke the records for the biggest opening day, opening weekend, and opening week for a Bollywood film, in each case beating Shah Rukh’s own Pathaan. Shah Rukh is now responsible for two of the three biggest Hindi movies ever made, and is the only Bollywood star to have delivered two Rs 1000 crore-plus grossers in one year. Globally, Jawan is just Rs 5 crore shy of crossing the Rs 1100 crore mark. It recently overtook Pathaan’s lifetime gross of Rs 1050 crore, and is trailing four other Indian movies on the all-time list — KGF: Chapter 2 (Rs 1215 crore), RRR (Rs 1230 crore), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs 1780 crore) and Dangal (Rs 2500 crore).

Directed by Atlee, Jawan was designed as Shah Rukh’s first-ever pan-Indian offering, and while the experiment has been mostly successful — the movie grossed around Rs 60 crore in dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions — it still played like a Hindi film. Jawan and Pathaan are largely responsible, along with Gadar 2, for fuelling a rebound for Bollywood this year. Shah Rukh will return in December with his third release of 2023, Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki.
