Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, will be released in theatres globally on Thursday. Jawan is predicted to establish an all-time record for Hindi films, according to the film’s opening day advance booking data, as published by Sacnilk.com. Furthermore, according to Manobala Vijayabalan, a cinema trade specialist, the Shah Rukh flim has sold more than 7 lakh seats in India on its opening day alone.

On Tuesday, Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter or X, and wrote, “BREAKING: Jawan Day 1 advance sales. SOLD 7 lakh tickets. CROSSES ₹20 crore gross mark across all theatres in India. National Multiplexes alone sells 3 lakh plus tickets for the opening day… 2 days to Jawan…”
Sharing the breakup of the tickets, he tweeted, “National Multiplexes – PVR – 1,51,278, INOX – 1,06,297, CINEPOLIS – 52,615. Total tickets sold – 3,10,190. Gross – ₹11.98 crore. City-wide all theatres – Delhi NCR – 54,238 – ₹2.57 crore. Mumbai – 50,701 – ₹2.08 crore. Bengaluru – 48,184 – ₹1.84 crore. Hyderabad – 68,407 – ₹1.66 crore. Kolkata – 45,977- ₹1.46 crore. Chennai – 60,415- ₹1.06 crore. India-wide all theatres sold tickets – 7,27,200. Gross – ₹20.06 crore [excluding blocked seats].”
With almost two days to go and almost 7 lakh tickets already sold at multiplexes for Jawan’s first day, the film might easily beat Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan and Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
Jawan has generated so much anticipation that it is projected to become Shah Rukh’s second 100 crore opener of the year, behind Pathaan. Jawan might be another 1000 crore grosser for the star in the same year. Jawan’s first day pre booking has so far grossed 21.14 crore in India. The film is available in 2D and IMAX formats, with the most expensive ticket in Delhi reportedly selling for $2400.
