Shah Rukh Khan's new movie Jawan has overtaken his January release Pathaan and has become the biggest opening ever for a Hindi-language film. Industry tracker Sacnilk has said Jawan made approximately Rs 75 crore on its day one on the box office. The Hindi version has earned Rs 65 crore, and the rest Rs 10 crore has come from the Tamil and Telugu versions.
With this Jawan has delivered the biggest single-day collection for a Hindi film, and has become the first Hindi film to make more than Rs 60 crore on opening day. Pathaan made Rs 57 crore on opening, setting a new record earlier this year. The recent superhit Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel, made Rs 40 crore on day one of its release.
