Jawan box office: 7 major records this SRK film has shattered 

Jawan, with a stellar ensemble cast that includes Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, and more, has taken the world of cinema by storm. With its opening numbers, the film made history by becoming the highest-grossing movie in the Hindi language ever. The film earned Rs 65 crore (Rs 650 million), which is the most for any Hindi release in history.

Within four weeks, the film has set several new benchmarks in the Indian film industry. Jawan registered a spot in the Rs 400 crore club in just 11 days, beating SRK's Pathaan and Sunny Deol's Gadar 2. Both films entered the coveted club in 12 days.

Jawan is out, and like it or not, Shah Rukh Khan's politics is here to stay

With its outstanding performance, the film has crossed the Rs 1000 crore (Rs 10 billion) mark worldwide. The film achieved the feat within 18 days of its release. 

With Jawan entering the Rs 1000 crore club, Shah Rukh Khan has become the only Indian actor to have two films in the coveted club, and remarkably, both films came out in the same calendar year. With its stupendous success, the film has crossed the lifetime collection of superhit films like Salman Khan's Sultan, Baahubali, Padmaavat, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Tiger Zinda Hai, PK and others.  

Not only SRK's, but Jawan has become director Atlee's highest-grossing film.

Jawan vs. Pathaan

Jawan has even dethroned SRK's January release, Pathaan's collection, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film ever. The film is the second highest-grossing Hindi-language film globally, behind Aamir Khan's Dangal, which is in the number one spot.

Jawan Review

WION's Shomini Sen, in her review, called the film a quintessential Bollywood blockbuster.

"Pathaan reiterated SRK's liberal stance and Jawaan brings forth the feminist side of the actor. Khan has been a vocal ally for women's empowerment for years. In Jawan, sure he plays a mentor of sorts to a bunch of wronged women, but the film celebrates strong women and their might to fight it out. All the female characters are projected as strong women who can take on a goon or two on their own and yet be maternal and soft when the time arises.''
