Jaat Box Office Collection Day 4: Sunny Deol Starrer Crosses ₹29.97 Cr, Shows Mixed Weekend Trend

Table of Contents
Mumbai, April 13, 2025 – Bollywood’s veteran action star Sunny Deol, who shook the box office with Gadar 2, is back with Jaat, a gritty action drama co-starring Randeep Hooda and Regina Cassandra. After a moderate opening weekend, Jaat saw a dip in earnings on Day 4 (Monday).
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected ₹3.72 crore on its fourth day, bringing the total domestic box office collection to ₹29.97 crore.
While this performance shows some promise, it is far from the expectations set by Sunny Deol’s previous blockbuster run.
Jaat Movie Day-Wise Box Office Collection: Full Breakdown
Here’s a quick look at the film’s performance so far:
Day | Earnings |
---|---|
Day 1 (Thursday) | ₹9.50 crore |
Day 2 (Friday) | ₹7.00 crore |
Day 3 (Saturday) | ₹9.75 crore |
Day 4 (Sunday) | ₹3.72 crore (early estimates) |
Total | ₹29.97 crore |
Note: Final numbers for Day 4 are expected by late evening.
Budget vs Collection: Is Jaat a Hit or Flop?
The total production and promotion budget of Jaat is estimated to be ₹100 crore. With just under ₹30 crore earned in four days, the film is currently in recovery mode, relying heavily on:
- Weekday hold
- Word of mouth
- Regional mass appeal
Industry analysts suggest that the film needs to cross ₹80 crore at the domestic box office to break even after distribution and marketing costs.

Audience Reaction: What’s Working and What’s Not
Positives:
- Sunny Deol’s raw intensity continues to resonate with mass audiences
- Randeep Hooda’s performance as the villain has drawn widespread praise
- Regina Cassandra surprises viewers with her powerful negative role
- High-octane South-style action choreography appreciated by fans

Jaat Occupancy Report: Day 4 Trends
According to trade sources, Jaat saw a noticeable dip in occupancy on Monday:
- Morning Shows: 6.4%
- Afternoon Shows: 10.1%
- Evening Shows: 14.8%
- Night Shows (projected): 17-18%
This is typical of weekday drop-offs, especially after a front-loaded weekend.
What’s Next for Sunny Deol After Jaat?
Despite the lukewarm response to Jaat, Sunny Deol has two high-profile projects lined up:
1. Lahore 1947
- Produced by: Aamir Khan
- Lead actress: Preity Zinta
- Also starring: Shabana Azmi
- Based on Partition-era drama, expected to be a content-driven release
2. Border 2
- Co-stars: Ahan Shetty, Diljit Dosanjh, Varun Dhawan, Paramveer Cheema
- Sequel to JP Dutta’s iconic war film Border (1997)
- Massive expectations from nostalgic fans and military film enthusiasts
These projects are likely to reposition Deol’s filmography in 2025 as one with both action and substance.
Performance Outlook: Can Jaat Sustain in Week 1?
Analysts predict that Jaat could close its first-week total between ₹38–42 crore, depending on:
- Weekday footfall in Tier 2 and 3 cities
- Retention in mass belts (UP, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra)
- Minimal competition from mid-week OTT or theatrical releases
The coming Friday will be crucial, as new releases could reduce its screen count significantly.
Critical Reviews Round-Up
Hindustan Herald Review:
“Gopichand Malineni’s directorial debut in Hindi brings South-style masala to Bollywood, but the story never rises above formula. A decent entertainer, saved by Sunny and Randeep.”
Times of India:
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) – “An action-heavy ride with strong performances, though the plot is forgettable.”
Firstpost:
⭐️⭐️½ (2.5/5) – “A promising cast held back by weak execution.”
Social Media Buzz
Fans have been posting mixed but passionate takes:
“Randeep Hooda owned every scene. Sunny Paaji is fire, but we needed a tighter story.” – @JattDaFan
“Regina as a lady villain? Loved it! Want more roles like this in Bollywood.” – @ReginaWorld
“Disappointed. Expected another Gadar-level hit, but this doesn’t come close.” – @DeolWarrior
A Wait-and-Watch Week Ahead
While Jaat has not bombed, it is far from being a box office success yet. Sunny Deol’s magnetic screen presence, combined with Randeep Hooda’s villainy and Regina Cassandra’s breakout role, give the film some legs to walk on.
But unless weekday numbers hold above ₹3 crore daily, the film may struggle to reach profitability without a major boost from satellite and OTT rights.
