Jawan vs Gadar 2 Holiday Box Office Collection
Jawan saw the kind of turnout on Thursday that no other Bollywood film including Pathaan ever saw. The opening day nett collections of the film in India are around Rs 60-70 crore nett with the gross crossing Rs 70 crore – which is the biggest opening day for a Bollywood film and the highest-grossing single day ever. Jawan has not just surpassed its own predecessor – Pathaan – to become the biggest Bollywood opener but has also gone past Gadar 2. The Sunny Deol starrer recorded the highest-grossing single day ever with its nett collection on Independence Day and now Jawan seems to have knocked that record out with its Janmashtami business.
Gadar 2, on its second day – the 15th August holiday, collected Rs 55.40 crore nett in India and Jawan, on its first day – the Janmashtami holiday, will be collecting in the range of Rs 60-70 crore nett. The shows of Jawan running in the country are almost double the shows that are for Gadar 2 on its big holiday. As per a report published in sacnilk, the SRK actioner had 4360 Hindi 2D shows in the morning alone while Gadar 2 had 2581 shows on Independence Day. The difference in the collections for these holiday releases is a lot and Jawan is the clear winner.
