Jawan box office collection day 22: Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster sees spike in numbers despite challenge from Fukrey 3, passes Rs 1030 crore worldwide

Jawan box office collection day 22: Shah Rukh Khan has contributed a combined total of over Rs 2000 crore to the global box office this year, with Jawan and Pathaan both breaking records.

Director Atlee’s blockbuster Jawan saw a spike in numbers on its 22nd day of release, probably thanks to the combined contribution of holiday crowds enticed by a buy-on-get-one scheme. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Jawan made Rs 5.5 crore on Thursday, which is higher than the Rs 4.9 crore that it made on Tuesday and the Rs 5.1 crore that it made on Wednesday.

This takes the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer’s lifetime nett domestic total to Rs 581 crore, which means that it will probably pass the Rs 600 crore mark domestically this weekend. It didn’t even seem like Jawan was affected by this week’s new Hindi releases such as Fukrey 3, which opened to more than Rs 8 crore, and The Vaccine War, which made Rs 1.3 crore on opening day.

Jawan has broken multiple records through the course of its theatrical run. The film set new benchmarks for the biggest opening day, opening weekend, and opening week for a Hindi movie. It also became the fastest Hindi film to pass the Rs 100 crore, Rs 200 crore, Rs 300 crore, Rs 400 crore and Rs 500 crore marks. It will soon become the first Hindi film to pass the Rs 600 crore mark, having already broken Pathaan‘s record of Rs 543 crore to become the biggest Bollywood movie of all time in the domestic market.

With Rs 1030 crore in the bank globally, the film is just Rs 20 crore short of breaking Pathaan’s lifetime worldwide gross of Rs 1050 crore, and becoming the second-biggest Bollywood film of all time. It probably won’t be able to overtake Dangal’s lifetime global gross of Rs 2070 crore, most of which came from China. Even Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, RRR and KGF: Chapter 2 have made more at the global box office than Jawan, altough no other star besides Shah Rukh holds the distinction of having delivered two $100 million-plus grossers in the same year.

Combined Jawan and Pathaan have delivered a global gross of more than Rs 2000 crore, and have helped Bollywood return to past glory after two disappointing years because of the pandemic. Other Hindi movies that have performed well this year are Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Satyaprem Ki Katha, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and The Kerala Story.
