Sunny Deol’s latest action drama Jaat has encountered a rocky start at the box office, with Day 1 collections falling short of expectations. Despite hopes of replicating the success of Gadar 2 (2023), which earned ₹686 crore worldwide, Jaat managed only ₹9.5 crore on its opening day in India. Trade analysts now suggest a dip in Day 2 earnings but remain cautiously optimistic about a weekend rebound.
Total Box Office Collection
The film’s India net collection stands at ₹9.5 crore after Day 1, with early estimates indicating a 15–20% drop on Day 2 (₹7–8 crore). If the weekend surge materializes, the four-day total could reach ₹40–50 crore, depending on audience word-of-mouth.
