'Jawan' is just $5 million short of beating 'Pathaan' at the global box office.
The Big Picture While everybody appreciates the sheer goodwill that enabled The Equalizer 3 to deliver a solid box office opening despite star Denzel Washington having done zero publicity for it, it’s worth noting that Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan has now delivered two of the biggest hits in the history of Hindi-language cinema — Pathaan and Jawan — without having promoted them in the traditional fashion.
According to SRK’s production company Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan has grossed ₹1,043 crore worldwide, which converts to around $125 million. This means that Jawan is essentially a day away from overtaking Pathaan to become the second-biggest Bollywood movie of all time, behind Aamir Khan’s Dangal. The 2016 sports drama made most of its money in China, where it became a word-of-mouth sensation.
Pathaan ended its global run with around $130 million, and it held the title for the biggest Hindi-language movie of all time in India until recently, when it was overtaken by Jawan. Jawan also broke records for the biggest opening day, opening weekend, and opening week in Hindi movie history, in addition to earning SRK the unique distinction of becoming the only Bollywood actor to deliver two $100 million-plus grossers in one year.
SRK's Efforts to Expand His Fan-base Have Paid Off Having made a name for himself as a romantic hero in the ‘90s, SRK has since cemented his reputation as inarguably the biggest Indian movie star of his generation across a three-decade career. He experienced a series of set-backs in the 2010s, because of which he decided to take a step back from the spotlight and reevaluate his career.
Directed by Atlee, who is best known for his Tamil-language blockbusters, Jawan was engineered to have crossover appeal in different regions across India. The country has several film industries that cater to independent audiences separated by geography and language, and to cast the widest net possible, Jawan was released not only in Hindi, but also dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. The movie also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone.
