After a strong opening weekend, Sunny Deol’s film drops in its second week amid growing buzz around Akshay Kumar’s historical courtroom sequel.
April 18, 2025 | Sunny Deol’s latest action film Jaat entered its second week on a slower note at the box office, collecting an estimated ₹4 crore on Thursday (Day 8), bringing its total to approximately ₹61.5 crore in India. After opening at nearly ₹10 crore on April 10 and peaking on its first Sunday with ₹14 crore, the film has seen diminishing returns amid tough competition from Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2.
💥 Jaat Box Office Performance at a Glance:
- Day 1 (April 10): ₹9.5 crore
- Week 1 Total (7 days): ₹57.5 crore
- Day 8 (Thursday, Week 2): ₹4 crore (early estimates)
- Total Collection (India): ₹61.5 crore (approx.)
🎬 Jaat Faces Heat from Kesari Chapter 2
Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2, which released on April 18, has quickly caught the attention of audiences. The intense courtroom drama about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, co-starring Ananya Panday and R. Madhavan, recorded ₹3 crore in advance bookings alone. The film’s Good Friday weekend run could further dent Jaat’s box office prospects.
🌟 Cast & Appeal
Jaat features a power-packed ensemble including:
- Sunny Deol
- Randeep Hooda
- Regina Cassandra
- Saiyami Kher
- Vineet Kumar Singh
- Jagapathi Babu
Despite a 7.1 IMDb rating and strong action sequences, the film has limited reach due to the absence of romance and mass-appeal music. Analysts suggest the movie has struck a chord primarily with Tier 2 and Tier 3 male audiences, especially in cities like Jaipur, which recorded a 21% occupancy rate.
📉 Will Jaat Enter Sunny Deol’s Top 5 Grossers?
With Gadar 2 standing tall at nearly ₹700 crore, and other blockbusters like Border and Yamla Pagla Deewana, industry experts believe Jaat may fall short of cracking the top five in Sunny Deol’s highest-grossing films — unless it surprises with a strong second weekend.
🔁 Sequel Buzz: Jaat 2 Confirmed
Producers have already announced Jaat 2, with Sunny Deol reprising his role. However, details on the cast and director remain under wraps.
