Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie, “Jawan,” is just three days away from its theatrical release, and fans from all over the country are preparing for a grand celebration, exceeding even the excitement generated by “Pathaan.” The stage is set for King Khan’s highly anticipated arrival, and anticipation is reaching its peak. Amidst this fervent groundswell of enthusiasm, let’s explore the film’s performance at the box office regarding its day 1 advance bookings!
The prospect of SRK sharing the screen with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara for the first time has ignited the passions of his fans. Not only dedicated fans but also the more impartial audience is eagerly awaiting SRK’s captivating performances on the big screen. With such an electrifying buzz surrounding the film, it’s almost certain that we are on the brink of witnessing a historic opening in the history of Hindi cinema.
As of 7 a.m. today, “Jawan” has already grossed a remarkable 17 crores in ticket sales nationwide for its opening day (excluding blocked seats). This places it just 1.50 crores short of surpassing the 18.50 crores grossed by “Gadar 2” for its final advance booking on the opening day. This achievement is remarkable, especially considering that the film still has three more days before its theatrical release. On Friday, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer witnessed a significant surge in ticket sales, but as expected, there was a slight decline on Saturday, a typical trend for major releases. However, the film quickly regained momentum as Sunday evening approached.
Thus far, “Jawan” has managed to sell over 5.75 lakh tickets, encompassing data from both national cinema chains and conventional screens. Notably, after the initial dominance of national cinema chains on Friday and Saturday, single screens experienced a resurgence in advance bookings on Sunday, and this trend is expected to continue its upward trajectory.
In the coming day or two, the online ticket booking platforms are expected to fully list all the available showtimes, further boosting “Jawan’s” day 1 advance bookings.
