| "Jawan" (2023) Box Office Collection |
Jawan, directed by Atlee and starring Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role, became a
massive box office success shortly after its release in September 2023. The
film, which also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, and Deepika Padukone in
a cameo, generated substantial buzz even before its release due to its star
power, high-octane action, and gripping storyline. Upon hitting theaters, Jawan
broke numerous box office records, both domestically and internationally. It
was widely anticipated to make a big splash, and it did, setting new benchmarks
for Indian cinema in terms of opening-day collections.
Within the first few days of its release, Jawan made an enormous
impact, grossing over ₹300 crore (approximately $36 million) globally. Its
opening day collection alone was a massive ₹75 crore (approximately $9 million)
in India, and it continued to break records throughout its first week. The
film’s international gross was also impressive, especially in markets like the
Middle East, North America, and the UK, where Shah Rukh Khan's global fan base
helped propel the film’s success. By the end of its second week, Jawan
had crossed ₹700 crore worldwide, establishing it as one of the
highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
The film's success was attributed to its wide appeal, blending high
action with emotional storytelling and strong performances by the ensemble
cast. Its success was not just limited to traditional box office revenue but
was also evident in its digital and satellite rights sales, which were sold for
significant amounts even before the theatrical release. Jawan also
benefited from positive word-of-mouth, with audiences praising its action
sequences, SRK's performance, and the powerful soundtrack composed by Anirudh
Ravichander.
By the end of its theatrical run, Jawan crossed ₹1,100 crore
(approximately $130 million) in global box office collections, cementing its
place as one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema. It not only
achieved critical acclaim but also solidified Shah Rukh Khan’s position as one
of the biggest stars in global cinema, reaffirming the growing influence of
Bollywood on the international stage.
