The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan was always supposed to do well, but few could’ve anticipated the sheer number of records that it has broken in the course of its month-long run in theatres. After debuting worldwide on September 7, the film is still generating considerable buzz at the box office, thanks to well-timed discounts, a lack of competition, and unprecedented goodwill for SRK.

Directed by Atlee, Jawan debuted mere months after Shah Rukh’s big comeback film, Pathaan, which emerged as an all-time blockbuster in its own right before being overtaken. Pathaan concluded its domestic run with Rs 543 crore nett in the bank, and grossed Rs 1050 crore worldwide. Both these records were broken by Jawan, which was designed as SRK’s first pan-India film. The film has made Rs 625 crore so far domestically, and has grossed nearly Rs 1,120 crore worldwide. Jawan also features Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra and others.

The film received mostly positive reviews from critics and fans, which helped sustain interest across weeks. Praise was directed towards the film’s political messaging and its action. As the movie nears the end of its theatrical run, here’s a rundown of all the major records that it has broken so far.
