‘Jawan‘, the latest Bollywood release, has taken the box office by storm and shattered records on its opening day. The movie, which hit theaters on September 7, 2023, has achieved the biggest opening ever seen by a Hindi film, leaving even the mighty Shah Rukh Khan trailing in its wake.
Previously, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan‘ held the record for the highest first-day earnings, raking in a whopping Rs 57 crore. However, ‘Jawan’ has surpassed this milestone with its outstanding performance at the ticket counters.
Although ‘Gadar 2‘ had formerly held the second position on this list with a first-day collection of Rs 40.10 crore, it has now been pushed down to the third position due to ‘Jawan’s’ remarkable achievement.
Almost immediately after ‘Jawan’ claimed its box office throne, netizens took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to voice their opinions. A debate ensued, with some claiming that ‘Adipurush‘ actually holds the record for the biggest opening day, overshadowing ‘Jawan’.
While ‘Jawan’ managed to amass an impressive Rs 75 crore nett on its opening day in India, with a worldwide gross of over Rs 120 crore, ‘Adipurush’ seems to have set an even higher benchmark with an opening day collection of Rs 138+ crore, which includes Hindi, Telugu and other dubbed versions.
As the box office battle intensifies, ‘Jawan’ remains a force to be reckoned with, clinching the second spot for the biggest opening ever for a Bollywood movie in India. Nevertheless, ‘Adipurush’ still reigns supreme, with netizens eagerly awaiting the final verdict on which movie truly holds the crown.
Key figures:
– ‘Adipurush’ – 138+ Crores
– ‘Jawan’ – 120+ Crores
– ‘Pathaan’ – 106 Crores
– ‘Jailer’ – 90 Crores
