Shah Rukh Khan’s film, Jawan, has had an amazing start at the box office. According to reports, the impact of this film on other movies, including Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, is quite significant. Gadar 2 was previously performing well at the box office, but with the arrival of Shah Rukh Khan’s film, it had to make way for Jawan. Specifically, Jawan’s release caused Gadar 2 to drop 100 shows on the first day itself.
In West Bengal, there are currently only 22 shows remaining for Gadar 2, with only 6 in Kolkata. On the other hand, Jawan is running around 490 shows in Hindi in Kolkata, with the total figures for West Bengal still unverified. The demand for Jawan was so massive in the state that even regional Bengali films had to suffer. Ajanta Cinema’s proprietor revealed that they had to replace Gadar 2 with Jawan due to the incredible demand. They scheduled 11 shows throughout the day, starting from 6.40 AM, and they have no capacity to screen anything else.
It should be noted that while Jawan has had a thunderous start at the box office with a worldwide gross opening of almost 130 crore, Gadar 2 is currently in its last leg of lifetime business. These box office numbers are estimates and have not been independently verified. Stay tuned to Celebtrends for more updates on Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan!
