Sunny Deol’s action-packed film Jaat has completed its first week in theatres, and the numbers tell a story of early highs followed by a steady decline. If you’re tracking Jaat’ box office collection day 7, here’s a deep dive into how the film is performing and whether it still has a shot at box office glory.
Day 7 Collection Sees Further Dip Amidst New Releases
After an impressive opening across northern circuits, Jaat is now grappling with a slowdown in ticket sales. According to industry estimates, the film raked in ₹3.81 crore on its seventh day, reflecting a consistent dip post the extended weekend.
- Day 5 (Monday): ₹7.25 crore (boosted by Ambedkar Jayanti in some regions)
- Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹6 crore
- Day 7 (Wednesday): ₹3.81 crore
This brings the total domestic collection to around ₹57.63 crore, a decent figure but a far cry from the ₹100 crore milestone many expected after the initial hype.
Can Jaat Cross the ₹100 Crore Mark?
At this stage, crossing the ₹100 crore benchmark seems ambitious unless the film picks up serious momentum over the weekend. The declining trend suggests that audience interest may be tapering off, especially in urban pockets where newer releases are attracting more footfall.
However, with a strong hold in regions like Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, there’s still a glimmer of hope if rural audiences stay loyal in the coming days.
Regional Success vs National Slowdown
Interestingly, Jaat witnessed higher opening day collections in Jaipur than even metropolitan hubs like Mumbai, making it the second highest grossing city after Delhi on Day 1. In Rajasthan, the film is on track to outperform the lifetime earnings of Sikandar within just one week.
But the regional dominance is being overshadowed by increased competition nationwide.
Incoming Competition: ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ & ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Shake Things Up
The buzz around Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2 has already impacted Jaat’s bookings, especially in northern belts where both films are expected to clash for audience attention. Advance bookings for Kesari Chapter 2 have picked up significantly, raising concerns for Jaat’s weekend prospects.
Meanwhile, in the southern circuits, Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly is dominating box office charts and drawing audiences in large numbers — further splitting footfalls and media attention.
The Verdict: What Lies Ahead for Jaat?
While Jaat had a strong regional pull and a star-studded cast led by Sunny Deol, sustaining box office momentum amid fierce competition appears to be a tough challenge. With its current collection standing at ₹57.63 crore, the film needs a strong second weekend to stand a chance at long-term success.
If the trend continues, Jaat may settle as a moderate performer, remembered more for its regional impact than nationwide success.
About the Film
Directed by Gopichand Malineni in his Hindi debut, Jaat is an intense action entertainer featuring a power-packed ensemble — Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda, Regina Cassandra, Vineet Kumar Singh, Saiyami Kher, Ramya Krishnan, and Jagapathi Babu. The film is rooted in themes of justice and rebellion, appealing strongly to mass audiences in North India.
Final Word
The race to ₹100 crore is still technically open, but the clock is ticking. With new releases heating up the box office, all eyes are on how Jaat performs this weekend.
