Shah Rukh Khan's film Jawan is still passing the Monday test with flying colours. Jawan made Rs 6.65 crore on its fourth Monday, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh, describing the figure as an "eye-opener." Jawan, Bollywood's biggest earner, has clocked over Rs 554 crore so far and it still has some weeks in theatres before the arrival of Salman Khan's Tiger 3. Jawan recently jostled SRK's previous release Pathaan and Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 to third and second positions in the Bollywood box office rankings.
"Jawan continues its sensational run. The Saturday - Monday numbers are an eye-opener, especially since it's fetching those numbers in Week 4. (Week 4) Friday 4.90 cr, Saturday 8.27 cr, Sunday 9.12 cr, Monday 6.65 cr. Total: Rs 554.44 cr. Hindi. India biz," posted Taran Adarsh.
These are nett numbers and Jawan has made over Rs 614 crore in all languages combined – Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Jawan's supremacy at the box office is likely to be challenged next by Tiger 3 and SRK's third release of the year – Dunki, opening in December. Ranbir Kapoor's Animal and Salaar, starring Prabhas, both out in December, are also expected to set cash registers ringing.
Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is unleashing power and creating history, even at the global box office. The Atlee directorial has become the highest-grossing film in the history of Hindi cinema globally. Jawan has collected ₹ 1068.58 crores (worldwide). Sharing a poster of SRK, Red Chillies Entertainment wrote, “Unleashing power and creating history at the box office! Book tickets now! Watch Jawan in cinemas - in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu.” Red Chillies Entertainment is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan. The production house bankrolled Jawan.
