JAWAN (Hindi) recorded a record breaking 178 crore nett over its first three days smashing PATHAAN by a huge 18 crore nett and the next best film KGF - CHAPTER 2 is another 20 crore nett behind. The box office has been in the doldrums post the pandemic but now the first four weekends are all films post pandemic with figures considerably higher than the older films. Basically the bigger films are pushing openings to another level.

Also in this number of JAWAN there is not much of a holiday factor as although it was Janmashtami on day one, it was not really a big holiday. It means with a major holiday falling on the right day, the potential is even higher than the collections of 178 crore nett with the RIGHT film.

JAWAN is setting records across the biggest circuits Mumbai and Delhi/UP and across all southern circuits. The crucial one here as Delhi/UP as Mumbai and South normally go hand in hand but with Delhi/UP also being there means the potential is huge for the film.

The top ten opening weekends for films in Hindi language are as follows.
