Jawan worldwide box office: After Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan hits second consecutive 1000 crore with Atlee's directorial

2023 has turned out to be a glorious year for not only Shah Rukh Khan but also for Bollywood. After Pathaan, the megastar hit the second consecutive Rs 1000 crore mark at the global box office with Jawan. While the film has grossed over Rs 667 crore in India, it has earned around Rs 337 crore in the international circuit.

While the film has been dominating the box office since its release, the arrival of Fukrey 3 and The Vaccine War this Thursday might affect it. With two back-to-back 1000 crore club films in the same year, SRK has emerged as the first megastar to achieve this kind of feat in the history of Indian cinema. And with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki release in December, we can expect SRK to deliver another global blockbuster in 2023.

_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 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.”
