Sunny Deol’s latest action-packed film Jaat has finally witnessed its first major dip at the Indian box office. On its 12th day (second Monday), the film collected just ₹1.90 crore, showing a sharp 63% drop in numbers. Despite the fall, the film has created history by crossing the lifetime earnings of Sunny Deol’s iconic hit Gadar: Ek Prem Katha!*
The film had a strong run in its first week but has now started facing tough competition. One of the biggest challengers is Kesari Chapter 2 starring Akshay Kumar, which is pulling crowds with discounted ticket prices and a gripping storyline. As a result, Jaat is no longer the top choice for many moviegoers.
This second Monday marks the first time Jaat has earned less than ₹3 crore in a day since its release. With the usual mid-week slump approaching, the coming days could be crucial for the film’s overall success. If the trend continues, the total earnings might slow down further.
Despite these challenges, Jaat has managed to achieve something truly remarkable. The film has now earned an estimated ₹77.08 crore in just 12 days at the Indian box office. That’s more than the lifetime collection of Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which made ₹76.88 crore back in 2001.
What makes this achievement even more special is that Jaat is not a sequel or part of a franchise. For 24 years, Gadar remained Sunny Deol’s highest-grossing solo (non-sequel) film, until now. With this record-breaking performance, Jaat has become the second highest-grossing film in Sunny Deol’s career—right behind Gadar 2.
Here’s a look at Sunny Deol’s Top 10 Highest-Grossing Films of all time:
- Gadar 2 (2023) – ₹525.50 crore
- Jaat (2025) – ₹77.08 crore*
- Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) – ₹76.88 crore
- Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011) – ₹55 crore
- Border (1997) – ₹39.45 crore
- Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013) – ₹36.8 crore
- Singh Saab The Great (2013) – ₹36 crore
- The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003) – ₹26.22 crore
- Indian (2001) – ₹24.21 crore
- Apne (2007) – ₹22.06 crore
*Estimates. Official numbers awaited.
Final Thoughts:
Jaat may be slowing down, but its initial performance has already made it a milestone film in Sunny Deol’s career. If the film can stabilize its collections in the coming days, it could still add more to its total and cement its place as one of 2025’s surprise hits.
