Shah Rukh Khan's Blockbuster 'Jawan' Eyes 500 Crores Extended Opening Weekend At The Worldwide Box Office

Mumbai, September 9 - It's raining blockbusters at the Indian box office, and the latest to join the list is superstar Shah Rukh Khan's action thriller Jawan which has simply taken things to the next level. Directed by Atlee Kumar, Jawan is course to emerge one of the biggest blockbusters of Indian cinema.

The movie had a historic opening of 129.60 crores worldwide, which is the highest ever opening for a Bollywood movie of all-time, despite being a mid-week release (Thursday). On its second day, which was a proper working day everywhere, Jawan held extremely well and scored another around 110 crores worldwide, taking total collection to around 240 crores in two days.



The first two days of Jawan has already hinted what is ahead of it, especially with the kind of critics reviews and audience word of mouth it is carrying. The first Saturday and Sunday will prove to be the biggest days of its run, and it is very likely to top 500 crores worldwide gross in the extended 4-days weekend and will become (most likely) the second back-to-back 500 crores weekend opener for Shah Rukh Khan.

The King Khan's last movie, spy action thriller Pathaan was a Wednesday day release during the Republic Day weekend this year. During its 5-day extended weekend, the movie grossed over 540 crores worldwide which is currently the biggest opening weekend for an Indian movie this year. It is likely to remain on the top spot as of now as Jawan is unlikely to cross this number in its 4-day weekend.
