Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan saw a spike in numbers on its third Thursday, September 29, and one of the key reasons could be the buy-one-get-one free ticket offer announced by the makers. The Atlee directorial on Thursday collected about Rs 5.50 crore net in India, which is higher than the Rs 4.90 crore that it earned on Tuesday and Rs 4.85 crore that it made on Wednesday.
Jawan released worldwide on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film outlines “the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in the society”. It stars Shah Rukh in the dual role of Vikram Rathore and his son Azad.
After 22 days, the film has collected over Rs 581 crore in India. The numbers over the weekend are likely to go up further given the long weekend on account of Gandhi Jayanti falling on Monday (October 2) as well as the buy-one-get-one free ticket offer which will continue for two more days till September 30.
Meanwhile, in terms of worldwide collection, ‘Jawan‘ has already crossed the coveted Rs 1,000 crore.
