Shah Rukh Khan’s film ” Jawan ” is just three days away from its theatrical release, and the stage is all set for the grand arrival of King Khan. Fans from all corners of the country eagerly await massive celebrations, surpassing even those seen for “Pathaan.” The excitement has reached its peak. Amidst all this on-ground enthusiasm, let’s take a look at how the film’s day 1 advance bookings are shaping up.
SRK, who shares the screen with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara for the first time, has fans and even neutral audiences eagerly anticipating his intriguing roles on the big screen. With so much hype surrounding the film, we are poised to witness a record-breaking opening in the history of Hindi cinema.
As of 7 a.m. today, “Jawan” has grossed 17 crores in ticket sales across the country for its first day (excluding blocked seats). It’s now just 1.50 crores away from surpassing “Gadar 2‘s” 18.50 crores in final advance bookings for the opening day. This achievement is remarkable, given that the film still has three days left before its theatrical release. On Friday, this Shah Rukh Khan starrer experienced exceptional ticket sales, but there was a slowdown on Saturday, a trend commonly observed with major releases. As expected, it regained momentum again towards Sunday evening.
So far, “Jawan” has sold over 5.75 lakh tickets, encompassing data from both national cinema chains and regular screens. Interestingly, on Friday and Saturday, national cinema chains held dominance, but single screens saw a surge in advance bookings on Sunday, and experts anticipate this trend to continue.
King Khan and Atlee
In Shah Rukh Khan’s ” Jawan ” King Khan collaborates with Atlee, who stands as one of the most successful directors in the Tamil film industry. The captivating trailer hinted at a film high on both action and entertainment. The superstar’s decision to join forces with director Atlee took film enthusiasts by surprise, as it was an entirely unexpected move. Notably, the actor-director duo refrained from officially launching the project until they had completed substantial portions of the shooting.
“Jawan,” which reportedly casts Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role, has already captured audiences’ attention with its stellar ensemble. Nayanthara, the leading lady of South Indian cinema, stars opposite SRK in the film. Celebrated actor Vijay Sethupathi portrays the lead antagonist. This project marks Sethupathi’s third venture in Bollywood, following his role in the remake of the Tamil film “Maanagaram,” titled “Mumbaikar,” and an upcoming untitled film by Sriram Raghavan.
