On Day 6, Jaat saw a surprising surge with over 50,000 tickets sold—but only after prices were slashed to Rs 99. The strategy helped boost footfalls but revealed the film’s dependence on promotional gimmicks rather than strong organic demand. While Sunny Deol’s star power drew initial crowds, the discount move hints at trouble in sustaining momentum. It’s a classic case of “opening week flash, second week crash” that shows even big names need big content to stick.
Rs 63 Crore Worldwide, But Still Behind Sikandar – The Box Office Pressure Mounts
Despite raking in Rs 63 crore globally by Day 5, Jaat is still trailing behind competing action flick Sikandar. For a film hyped as a post-Gadar 2 comeback for Sunny Deol, this underperformance is glaring. Fans expected a box office roar; instead, they’re getting a steady but unspectacular run. The international market has responded decently, but the domestic response has been lukewarm. The gap between expectation and reality is becoming hard to ignore.
Day 3 Momentum Was Strong – But It Wasn’t Enough to Carry the Film
Early in its run, Jaat showed promise by earning Rs 25 crore by Day 3, powered by action lovers and die-hard Sunny Deol fans. However, that early rush didn’t translate into long-term success. Word of mouth has been mixed, and repeat viewings—key to any action blockbuster’s success—are noticeably low. What started as a sprint is quickly turning into a struggle to keep pace, and box office experts are already scaling down projections.
Gadar 2 Magic Missing in Jaat – Same Hero, Different Story
After the monstrous success of Gadar 2, expectations were sky-high for Jaat. But lightning hasn’t struck twice for Sunny Deol. While Gadar 2 leaned into nostalgia and patriotic fervor, Jaat tries to go pure action with less emotional depth. That shift may be costing the film, as audiences today are demanding more than just punches and explosions—they want a story that hits just as hard. Jaat might still break even, but the dream of another Gadar-level phenomenon? That’s already slipping away.
