Despite high expectations and star power, Sunny Deol’s Jaat ends its first week below the ₹60 crore mark, raising questions about its long-term box office prospects.
April 17, 2025 | Sunny Deol’s action-packed comeback in Jaat hasn’t quite lived up to the hype. After opening to modest numbers, the film managed to collect only ₹57.5 crore net in its first week, according to Sacnilk.com. Released on April 10, the film saw its highest single-day collection on Sunday with ₹14 crore, but failed to sustain momentum during the weekdays.
On Wednesday (Day 7), Jaat earned just ₹4 crore, marking a steady dip as the weekdays kicked in.
🎬 Jaat Box Office Performance So Far:
- Day 1 (Opening): ₹9.5 crore
- Highest (Day 4/Sunday): ₹14 crore
- Total Week 1 Collection: ₹57.5 crore net
While Jaat did cross the ₹50 crore mark by Tuesday, its struggle to maintain daily earnings raises doubts over whether it can touch ₹100 crore at the domestic box office without a strong second weekend.

“I have not taken pressure basically ever in my life. But aaj ke zamaane mein even if you are not taking, koi sui chubho deta hai ki pressure lo!”
“So many conversations about numbers make you nervous,” he added.
📽️ Critics Still Appreciate the Big-Screen Experience
Despite the dip in earnings, Jaat continues to receive appreciation for its cinematic presentation.
🔥 Controversy Clouds Momentum
Adding to the pressure, Jaat also faced controversy this week over a church scene, sparking backlash from sections of the Christian community and leading to protest slogans against Randeep Hooda, who also features in the film.
