Jaat Box Office Collection Day 8: Sunny Deol’s Action Drama Slows as Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 Steals the Spotlight
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.
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.
Jaat features a power-packed ensemble including:
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.
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.
Producers have already announced Jaat 2, with Sunny Deol reprising his role. However, details on the cast and director remain under wraps.
