Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda’s action-packed film Jaat is having a solid run at the Indian box office. After a great start, the real test began today as the holiday period came to an end. But the good news is, Jaat has passed the Tuesday test and maintained a strong grip on ticket sales.
Day 6 Early Trends Are Promising
Directed by Gopichand Malineni, Jaat earned ₹7.30 crore on Monday, thanks to the Ambedkar Jayanti holiday. It was important for the film to continue earning over ₹5 crore on weekdays to keep its momentum going. According to early estimates, Jaat made around ₹5.50 to ₹6 crore on its sixth day, which is a healthy drop of only 17-24%. This is considered a normal fall after a holiday.
This brings the total box office collection of Jaat to around ₹53.42 to ₹53.92 crore in just six days. With one more day left in the first week, the film has managed to stay strong and stable despite facing the weekday challenge.
Budget Concerns Still Loom
While the film is performing well, it still has a long road ahead. Jaat was made on a massive budget of ₹100 crore, and so far, it has recovered about 53% of its cost. It needs to keep up the pace in the coming days to become a hit. The upcoming release of Kesari Chapter 2 might slow things down, so the next few days are very crucial.
Sunny Deol’s Box Office Journey: Jaat Enters Top 5
Jaat has already made a big mark on Sunny Deol’s list of top 10 highest-grossing movies. It has now become his 4th highest-grossing film of all time, beating several popular titles.
Here’s a look at Sunny Deol’s top 10 highest-grossing films:
- Gadar 2 (2023) – ₹525.50 crore
- Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001) – ₹76.88 crore
- Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011) – ₹55 crore
- Jaat (2024) – ₹53.42-53.92 crore (6 days)
- Border (1997) – ₹39.45 crore
- Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013) – ₹36.80 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
Jaat is now just ₹1.50 crore away from crossing Yamla Pagla Deewana and becoming Sunny Deol’s second-highest-grossing film ever. That would be a major achievement, considering the tough competition and high budget.
Final Thoughts
Jaat has proven its strength at the box office by maintaining solid collections even after the holiday boost. If it continues this pace and survives the arrival of Kesari Chapter 2, it might create history for Sunny Deol. Fans of action-packed thrillers and Deol supporters definitely have a reason to cheer.
