Stronghold in Northern India Despite Competition
Despite the release of Kesari Chapter 2 on April 18, which features Akshay Kumar, Jaat continues to draw crowds in Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and parts of Uttar Pradesh. Industry analysts note that the film’s appeal lies in its desi emotional connect, with local lingo and powerful action segments that cater to regional sentiments.
“It’s a Sunny Deol comeback film for the masses. The performance is solid given the competition,” said trade expert Ramesh Bala.
Audience Reception: Massy, Rooted, and Engaging
The audience response to Jaat has been largely positive in non-metro centers. Critics have praised Sunny Deol’s raw energy and the director’s fast-paced storytelling, although the film has received mixed reviews in urban multiplexes.
The movie’s appeal also lies in its social themes—including caste pride, identity, and rural justice—all packaged within an action-entertainment format.
Global Reach and Overseas Business
Overseas, Jaat has collected ₹8.15 crore, with decent traction in Canada, UAE, and the UK Punjabi belt. The global audience, particularly the Indian diaspora familiar with Sunny Deol’s legacy, has contributed to the film’s steady international earnings.
Jaat’s ₹100 Cr Journey Begins
With ₹61.5 crore earned in 8 days, Sunny Deol’s Jaat is shaping up as a moderate box office success. While the film may face an uphill battle to breach the ₹100 crore mark due to rising competition from Kesari Chapter 2 and upcoming Eid releases, its strong regional foothold gives it a fighting chance.
If Jaat sustains through the weekend, it could join the coveted list of successful mid-budget action films in 2025.
