Despite emerging as the fastest Rs 400 crore grosser, SRK's Jawan fails to beat Gadar 2 & Baahubali 2 - here's how

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan has enjoyed a humongous second weekend at the box office. Since there were no biggies, the massy-actioner turned out to be the first choice for the cinegoers. The Hindi version of the blockbuster earned Rs 34.26 crore yesterday and currently stands with a grand total of Rs 430.44 crore. While Jawan has emerged as the fastest Rs 400 crore grosser (11 days), it has failed to beat Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and Prabhas’ Baahubali 2 as the actioner has become the third-highest Second Sunday grosser of all time after the above-mentioned films. In its Tamil and Telugu versions, the film has collected Rs 49.55 crore, which takes its grand total to Rs 479.99 crore. Highest second Sunday grossers Gadar 2 – Rs 38.90 crore Baahubali 2 – Rs 34.50 crore Jawan - Rs 34.26 crore Dangal – Rs 32.04 crore Pathaan – Rs 28.50 crore Sanju – Rs 28.05 crore KGF 2 – Rs 22.68 crore Tiger Zinda Hai – Rs 22.23 crore PK – Rs 21.85 crore Jawan  marks the Bollywood directorial debut of Atlee, who has delivered Tamil blockbusters like Theri, Bigil and Mersal (all featuring Thalapathy Vijay). Also starring Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Grover, Ridhi Dogra, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani and Deepika Padukone (in a cameo), the music of the film is composed by Anirudh. It is produced under the banner of SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment.

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the film 4 stars and wrote, “Atlee, known to be a massy director, gives the audiences exactly what they want. He and also our favourite SRK know exactly how to get the audiences back to the theatres. They provide what the audience demands, which is a true masala potboiler with a hidden meaning. I won’t say this was SRK’s best performance, Pathaan was undoubtedly better. But the finesse with which he carries his age is remarkable. Again, this is different too as he is portraying multiple characters.”
