Jawan box office: Shah Rukh Khan starrer becomes the Bollywood film to enter the Rs 600 crore club

Despite the arrival of several new releases, Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan continues to shatter records at the ticket windows. The pan-India massy actioner has now entered the Rs 600 crore in the domestic market and has become the first Bollywood to achieve this feat. The film raked in around Rs 12 crore yesterday and currently stands with a grand total of Rs 610 crore (all versions). The film will again go on a riot today as there is a national holiday of Gandhi Jayanti. Looking at the current scenario, the film is expected to cross Rs 650 crore by the end of its 5th weekend at the box office. While the film has inaugurated the Rs 600 crore club, it would be interesting whether invents the Rs 700 crore club or not.

_Jawan_ marks the Bollywood directorial debut of Atlee, who has delivered Tamil blockbusters like Theri, Bigil and Mersal (all featuring Thalapathy Vijay) along with Nayanthara and Arya’s Raja Rani. Also starring Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Grover, Ridhi Dogra, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Lehar Khan 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 knows 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.”
