Sunny Deol’s Jaat Inches Closer to ₹75 Crore Mark Despite Monday Dip
Sunny Deol’s gritty action film Jaat has maintained its momentum into the second week, even as box office numbers dip on weekdays.
Key Highlights:
Jaat Collection Surges to ₹74.7 Crore by April 21 Despite Weekday Slowdown
Sunny Deol’s action-packed entertainer Jaat continues to make headlines at the box office. The Jaat collection has now reached an impressive ₹74.7 crore as of April 21, 2025, marking a strong 12-day run despite facing stiff competition and a noticeable drop in weekday footfall.
Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the film has been one of the few post-pandemic Bollywood action flicks to maintain steady earnings through its second week, a feat that has piqued the interest of trade analysts and fans alike.
Jaat Collection: Day-Wise Breakdown So Far
As of Monday evening, the collection trajectory looks like this:
| Day | Collection (Approx) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | ₹7.1 crore |
| Day 2 | ₹7.6 crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | ₹9.2 crore |
| Day 4 | ₹5 crore |
| Day 5 | ₹4.25 crore |
| Day 6 | ₹3.6 crore |
| Day 7 | ₹3 crore |
| Day 8 | ₹5.1 crore |
| Day 9 | ₹5.55 crore |
| Day 10 (Sunday) | ₹5.65 crore |
| Day 11 | ₹0.9 crore |
| Day 12 (April 21, est.) | ₹0.3 crore |
| Total | ₹74.7 crore |
Jaat Collection Faces Monday Slump
While Jaat managed to rake in ₹5.65 crore on its second Sunday, its collection saw a sharp decline on Monday (April 21), earning just ₹0.3 crore based on early estimates. This pattern, although common for weekday numbers, has slowed the film’s journey towards the ₹80 crore mark.
Still, the film remains on track to surpass the iconic Gadar (2000), which grossed ₹76.65 crore in its lifetime—a record that Sunny Deol himself might now break.
Competition from Kesari Chapter 2 Adds Pressure
Adding to the challenge, Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2 released last weekend and opened at a solid ₹7.5 crore. Despite the clash, Jaat has managed to retain loyal viewers, especially in northern circuits where Deol’s fanbase runs deep.
Trade pundits believe word of mouth continues to favor Jaat, especially among fans of traditional action dramas with patriotic undertones.
What’s Behind the Buzz Around Jaat?
Here’s what’s driving the success of Jaat:
- Star Power: Sunny Deol’s intense performance has resonated well with core audiences.
- Direction & Screenplay: Gopichand Malineni’s massy yet gritty direction has received praise.
- Cast Ensemble: Strong support from Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar Singh.
- Music & Background Score: Energetic and impactful, aligning with the film’s tone.
- Regional Hype: Particularly successful in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
What Fans Can Expect
The coming days will be crucial. With no major mid-week release and growing anticipation for the weekend bump, Jaat may see another mini-surge in collections.
If the film manages to earn even ₹1–1.5 crore over the next two days, the ₹80 crore target will look comfortably achievable by the end of the second week.
Fans and trade watchers are now eagerly waiting to see whether Jaat can maintain the momentum long enough to emerge as one of Sunny Deol’s biggest post-Gadar 2 successes.
