Sunny Deol's new action thriller, Jaat, keeps the box office magic going, displaying great hold in its first week and targeting the highly prized ₹60 crore figure in India.
Important Points:
-
Jaat earned ₹6 crore net on Tuesday (Day 6), taking its six-day India net collection to ₹53.5 crore. The film's global collection is a strong ₹71.25 crore, with overseas territories adding ₹8.10 crore.
-
The film retained a good occupancy rate of 19.55% on Day 6 with night shows going up to over 31%, indicating continued audience interest even on weekdays.
-
Day-wise box office trend indicates a strong opening (₹9.5 crore) and huge jump on Sunday (₹14 crore) followed by the usual weekday decline but still healthy numbers for a mid-budget action movie.
-
Jaat is currently Sunny Deol's third highest-grossing film after his iconic Gadar series and is likely to wrap its first week around ₹60 crore net.
The movie has beaten Shahid Kapoor's Deva and is currently competing with Akshay Kumar's upcoming Kesari Chapter 2 for viewers' attention in the days ahead.
Deol's authoritative screen presence and Randeep Hooda's turn as a villain have won appreciation from critics and audiences alike, with the film's vintage action and rural location resonating with fans.
While there was a marginal dip during the midweek, trade experts are forecasting another boost in collections with the forthcoming Good Friday holiday, keeping Jaat very much in the box office race.
Jaat's good show seals Sunny Deol's consistent box office popularity and promises an exciting weekend to come.
