Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan
Days after reports of Jawan recording a whopping Rs 65.5 crore domestic opening figure hit the headlines, comes the news that the film has challenged previous records with its opening weekend number. Jawan has become the first Bollywood film to enter the Rs 500 crore club within four days of its release by registering Rs 520.79 crores (worldwide) at the box office.
The Hindi version of Shah Rukh Khan’s latest offering that released on Thursday has amassed Rs 252.08 crores in India. On Sunday, this version also set another record by earning Rs 71.63 crores (domestic), the highest number for a film in this language, in a single day. Trade analyst and critic Taran Adarsh says the Atlee-directed film has “shown the potential of Hindi cinema”. “[A single-day collection figure of] 70 can become 80 in the future, which could then become 90, and then 100! You never know. The market is expanding. We need to focus on content. Desi entertainers never go out of fashion. Happy days are here again. We are seeing a return of the ’70s, when we witnessed back-to-back hits,” he says of the film that has collected Rs 34.08 crores in Tamil and Telugu-speaking markets.
