Jaat Day 2: Sunny Deol Film Set for Drop After Decent Start?

Sunny Deol’s latest action-packed entertainer Jaat hit theatres on Thursday and kicked off its run with mixed critical reviews. While critics remained divided, the audience seemed to embrace the masala film with enthusiasm. On its opening day, Jaat managed to collect a decent ₹9.50 crore. Though slightly short of a double-digit start by ₹50 lakh, the film’s first-day numbers still mark a solid entry.

However, early Friday trends suggest a potential dip in collections. Morning and noon show footfalls appeared weaker, hinting that Jaat might earn between ₹5 to ₹7 crore on day two. Yet, the final tally could improve if evening and night shows experience a surge in viewership. If the trend picks up, the day two collection might reach closer to ₹8–9 crore.

Looking ahead, the weekend remains crucial. Saturday and Sunday could bring in the much-needed boost. If Jaat manages to pull off a double-digit collection on day three, the extended weekend total might touch the ₹40 crore mark. This would give the film a stronger position at the box office.

With a reported production budget of ₹100 crore, Jaat still has a long way to go to recover its costs. Strong weekend figures and steady weekday earnings will determine whether the Sunny Deol starrer becomes a hit or fizzles out.

As for reviews, critics have offered a mixed bag. The Free Press Journal rated it 3 out of 5 stars, calling it “a massy film that might not have logic, but it entertains and keeps us hooked throughout.” The film is also being dubbed a treat for Sunny Deol fans, who have long awaited his return to the big screen.

Only time will tell if Jaat can maintain momentum in the coming days.
