Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Jawan’ has created immense immense anticipation, generating a buzz that’s hard to ignore. It has particularly caught the public’s attention after smashing previous records for advance ticket bookings, exceeding even that of Salman Khan‘s ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’. The eagerness surrounding ‘Jawan’ was palpable from the moment advance bookings were initiated on Friday, September 1st.
Commencing at 10 a.m., ticket sales skyrocketed rapidly. According to reports, by 3 p.m. on the same day, a staggering 1.18 lakh tickets had been sold, amounting to an approximate revenue of Rs 4 crore. Later, by 9 p.m., the total ticket sales across three major multiplex chains had reached 1,24,000.
The Tamil version of the film wasn’t left behind either, garnering between Rs 15-20 lakh in ticket sales. Such impressive figures have already allowed ‘Jawan’ to surpass the total advance bookings of Salman Khan’s earlier release this year, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, which had accrued Rs 3.39 crore in ticket sales.
This achievement isn’t new for Shah Rukh Khan. Earlier in January, his film ‘Pathaan’ had amassed Rs 32 crore in advance bookings, setting the highest record for any Hindi film to date. A renowned trade analyst even took to social media to comment on this remarkable development. He stated that ‘Jawan’ is well on its way to becoming Shah Rukh Khan’s second film to open with Rs 100 crore, following ‘Pathaan’. This would make him the first actor in Bollywood history to attain such an unparalleled feat.
