Jawan box office collection day 35: Daily collections of Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster stay above Rs 1 cr, nets Rs 627 cr in India

Directed by Atlee, Jawan delivered the top opening day, biggest single-day haul, biggest opening weekend and biggest opening week in the history of Hindi cinema. It also became the fastest Hindi movie to pass significant box office milestones, and became the second Hindi movie of the year to pass the Rs 1000 crore mark globally, once again after Pathaan.

Combined, the two films have grossed over Rs 2150 crore worldwide, but to put matters in context, even that figure is less than what Dangal was able to gross back in 2016. Most of that film’s money came from China, however. Neither Jawan nor Pathaan was released there. Jawan is currently the fifth-biggest Indian movie ever, behind KGF: Chapter 2, RRR, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal.

The film still has a chance to hit the Rs 1200 crore mark globally, but its box office run was no doubt facilitated by a complete lack of comepetition and the unprecedented goodwill that Shah Rukh is currently enjoying. He would hope to continue the streak with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, which will be released around Christmas.
