Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is smashing all box office records - one day at a time. The film's Hindi version has managed to collect Rs 480.54 crore within 16 days of its release, reported Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh on Saturday. On its third Friday, Jawan minted Rs 7 crore at the domestic box office. The film's Tamil and Telugu versions have been equally adept at performing well at the box office, as per Taran Adarsh. Deconstructing the film's box office numbers, Taran Adarsh wrote on X (earlier called Twitter), "Jawan continues to dominate the marketplace, despite new releases... Expect a jump on [third] Sat and Sun... [Week 3] Fri 7.10 cr. Total: Rs 480.54 cr. Hindi. #India biz. Boxoffice. Jawan [Tamil + Telugu; Week 3] Fri 51 lacs. Total: Rs 55.46 cr. Box office."
As per Taran Adarsh, Jawan (Hindi) concluded the second week with "incredible numbers." It will breach past Rs 500-crore mark and also surpass Baahubali (Hindi) and Gadar 2 lifetime business in the third weekend, the trade analyst added. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Taran Adarsh wrote, "Jawan concludes week 2 with INCREDIBLE NUMBERS...

[Week 2] Friday 18.10 cr, Saturday 30.10 cr, Sunday 34.26 cr, Monday 14.25 cr, Tuesday 12.90 cr, Wednesday 8.60 cr, Thursday 7.25 cr. Total: Rs 473.44 cr. Hindi. India biz. #Boxoffice."
At the global box office as well, Jawan is "shattering records." As per SRK-Gauri Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, which produced Jawan, the film has collected over Rs 937.61 crore (worldwide). "It's a blast at the box office! And you don't want to miss it!" they captioned the post.
Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanjay Dutt, and Deepika Padukone (in a special appearance). While the film is on a record-breaking and making spree, a news report claimed that all is not well inside the Jawan camp. Reportedly, Nayanthara is upset with Atlee after being "sidelined" in Jawan. A source told Hindustan Times, "She [Nayanthara] has been very upset with Atlee because her role was chopped in the film. Also, Deepika's [Padukone] character was elevated and Nayanthara's part was significantly sidelined. Jawan was almost made to look like an SRK-Deepika film."
Jawan released on September 7.
