JAWAN TO SET BOX OFFICE RECORDS

Trade experts believe that the film will set the box office on fire and create new records. Amid competition from Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2, the movie is expected to start on a solid note, garnering over Rs 50 crore in India.

Let us tell you that Jawan has been given a U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with seven cuts. The actioner has been approved for a run time of 169 minutes (2 hours, 49 minutes). On the other hand, it will be released in over 5,000 screens, which is massive.

Shah Rukh Khan and his Jawan team are making sure to promote the film in the right way. Days after seeking blessings at Viashno Devi Shrine, he, along with his daughter Suhana, co-star Nayanthara, and her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan, visited the famous Tirupati temple to offer prayers. Several viral videos show SRK wearing a white kurta pyjama with a traditional white and golden cloth around her shoulder, while Suhana and Nayanthara are seen in white salwar suits.

Meanwhile, it is facing backlash in neighbouring nation Bangladesh. The country's government has reached a compromise and allowed a cap of 10 Hindi movies to be released in the country, and Jawan is the third film to be released after Pathaan and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Local artists are concerned about the impact of foreign films on the local film business.

Jawan has sold 11 lakh tickets in all languages for day 1, surpassing advance bookings of Pathaan and Adipurush, which were 10 lakh. Jawan's advance booking collection has grossed 30 crore for opening day.

The executive director of Gaiety, Galaxy and Maratha Mandir Cinema, Manoj Desai told told PTI: "By Thursday, it will be houseful. We are happy with the golden run of movies in theatres, especially in single-screen theatres. I think because of Pathaan and Gadar 2, the business in single screen has revived. The industry has bounced back in a big way. With 'Jawan things are looking positive.'

Fans celebrate Jawan's relase

Fans have flocked cinema halls for the early screenings, and videos from the theatres say that Jawan has all the elements of a mind-blowing massy film. Shah Rukh Kahn fans can be seen dancing and hooting to the song Zinda Banda.

SRK fans also celebrated 'Jawan' release by cutting a cake outside the star's house, Mannat. The cake had 'Jawan FDFS' written on it.

Helmed by Atlee, the movie also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Yogi Babu, Sunil Grover, and others.

It is set to release in theatres on September 7.
