Jawan Becomes Second-Biggest Bollywood Movie In Global Box Office History

Now In Its Third Weekend In Theaters, The Indian Blockbuster Jawan Is Continuing To Break Box Office Records. Over the Weekend, The Film Passed Pathaan To Become The Highest-Grossing Hindi-Language Movie Of All Time In Its Home Country. Incidentally, Both Pathaan And Jawan Were Released In The Same Year, And Star Bollywood Icon Shah Rukh Khan. Fondly Known As SRK, He Is Perhaps The Most Popular Romantic Lead That India Has Ever Produced, But After Three Decades Of Dominance, Has Decided To Refashion Himself Into An Action Hero.

According To SRK’s Production Company, Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan Has Grossed A Total Of 9.79 Billion Rupees Globally, Which Converts To Approximately $118 Million. This Puts Jawan Just $12 Million Shy Of Overtaking Pathaan’s $130 Million Lifetime Gross At The Global Box Office And Claiming The Number Two Spot On The All-Time List Behind Aamir Khan’s 2016 Sports Drama Dangal, Which Grossed Around $250 Million. Most Of Dangal’s Revenue Came From China, A Territory That Neither Jawan Nor Pathaan Played In.

With Over $13 Million Domestically, Jawan Will Soon Overtake Last Year’s RRR, Which Ended Its Stateside Run With Just Over $14 Million. Pathaan, By Comparison, Grossed $17 Million Domestically Earlier This Year. But In India, Jawan Overtook Pathaan’s $78 Million Lifetime Gross On Friday To Become The Biggest Hindi-Language Hit Ever. The Movie Had Already Broken Opening Day, Opening Weekend, And Opening Week Records. SRK Also Earned The Unique Distinction Of Having Become The Only Bollywood Star To Deliver Two $100 Million-Plus Grossers In The Same Year.
