'Jawan' is less than $20 million shy of overtaking 'Pathaan'.
The Big Picture Having already broken numerous box office records, the action-drama Jawan is mere days away from becoming the highest-grossing Hindi-language movie of all time in its home country of India, and the second-biggest Hindi film ever worldwide. Starring Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known among his fans as SRK, Jawan was always designed to attract a wider audience base than he is normally accustomed to, and the effort seems to have paid off.
According to SRK’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan has grossed ₹937 crore globally in two weeks of release, which converts to approximately $113 million. This means that Jawan will soon overtake SRK’s own Pathaan to become the biggest Hindi movie of the year, and the second-biggest ever behind Aamir Khan’s Dangal . Dangal made most of its money in China, a territory that neither Pathaan nor Jawan was released in.
Directed by Atlee, who is best known for his Tamil-language blockbusters, Jawan was engineered for crossover success. But even SRK admitted in a recent IMDb video that the movie might be a bit of an overwhelming experience for audiences that aren’t accustomed to the over-the-top aesthetic of south Indian movies.
Jawan is Also Performing Well at the Domestic Box Office In Jawan, he plays the dual roles of a vigilante cop and his army veteran father, who are reunited after a lifetime apart. They join forces to exact vengeance against a corrupt arms dealer, played by Vijay Sethupathi. The movie has earned mostly positive reviews, with praise being directed at its political messaging and SRK’s star-power. Atlee’s handling of the action was also appreciated.
By comparison, RRR was produced on a reported budget of $70 million, and went on to gross around $160 million worldwide. The mythological epic Adipurush, which bombed earlier this year, was made on a reported budget of $70 million as well, and the upcoming Kalki 2898 AD is set to become the most expensive Indian film ever produced, with a reported budget of $75 million. Jawan is on the verge of passing RRR’s lifetime domestic haul, which stands at $14 million.
