Sunny Deol's 'Jaat' Earns Rs 78.25 Crore in 13 Days
With a budget of over Rs. 100 crore, the film has reached the break-even point but is not yet a clean HIT. The film's success has also sparked talk of a sequel, with Sunny Deol confirming that 'Jaat 2' is in the works, which is likely to generate even more excitement among fans of the film.
Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda's film 'Jaat' has maintained a steady box office performance, earning Rs. 78.25 crore in India after 13 days, despite controversy and competition from other films. The film has held its ground, with an overall Hindi occupancy of 15.68% on its second Tuesday, earning Rs. 2 crore.
The film had a decent opening with Rs. 9.5 crore on Day 1 and collected around Rs. 61.75 crore in its first week. It made around Rs. 4 crore on Good Friday and Rs. 3.75 crore on the second Saturday, with a total of Rs. 74.55 crore. The film has beaten the lifetime collection of 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', which stood at Rs. 76.65 crore for over 20 years.
Sunny Deol has confirmed that a sequel, 'Jaat 2', is in the works. The film, directed by Gopichand Malineni, earned Rs 1.25 crore nett on its second Thursday and has grossed Rs 80.75 crore nett after two weeks. It will face stiff competition from new releases "Floor 0" and "Phule" this weekend. The film has been a success, despite facing controversy over a scene that allegedly hurt Christian sentiments.
The action drama will aim to hit the Rs. 90 crore nett mark, and with its current performance, it is expected to enter the Rs. 80-85 crore nett clubs this week. The film has become one of the highest-grossing films in Sunny Deol's career and in the career of co-star Manisha Singh, and its success is a testament to the enduring appeal of the film's storyline and characters.
