Jawan netted ₹74.5 crore on its first day of sales, with ₹65.5 crore coming from the Hindi version and the remaining ₹9 crore from the dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film’s second-day net collection could be over ₹50 crore across languages. With receipts of ₹57 crore, the YRF Spy Universe film Pathaan previously held the title of the biggest Hindi box office debut. Pathaan was released on January 25 this year.
The global gross collection for Jawan stood at ₹130 crore – ₹90 crore from India, ₹40 crore from overseas. The data sourced from Sacnilk suggests that Jawan’s gross advance bookings for the second day for all languages and formats were about 750,000. It sold about 1.56 million tickets in the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions on the first day.
PVR Inox co-CEO Gautam Dutta said Jawan has been released at a time when consumers are flocking to cinemas in record numbers. “If the unprecedented audience response is anything to go by, we are confident that Jawan will not only be the biggest film of this year but will end up adding immense strength to the cinema ecosystem,” he said. The film industry had a phenomenal run in August, with a record box-office collection of over ₹1,000 crore on the back of Gadar 2, OMG 2, Jailer, Dream Girl 2, and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
“With the enormous opening day for Jawan and a spate of movies like Tiger 3, Animal, and Dunki releasing in the next quarter, it looks like Bollywood has enough ammunition up its sleeve to deliver a sizeable number of blockbusters this financial year,” said Nitin Menon, managing partner of NV Capital, a private credit fund.Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2 has collected ₹662 crore in box office collections globally. Rajinikanth starrer Jailer’s global sales stand at ₹593 crore. OMG 2 has so far mopped up ₹218 crore. The box-office earnings are based on Sacnilk data. PVR Inox had stated that August was its single biggest box office month of all time, with a gross box-office revenue of ₹532 crore across its theatres in the country. In a recent report, Elara Capital SVP Karan Taurani noted that Jawan’s lifetime net box-office collection will be in the range of ₹350 crore to ₹450 crore, with the film expected to breach the upper end of the guidance if content appeals to audiences.
