Box Office: 'Jaat' Fourth Day/First Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, April 13 - Sunny Deol's action drama Jaat has packed a solid punch on its first Sunday at the domestic box office. The film has witnessed a fantastic jump of around +40% and comfortably crossed the double-digit mark for the first time.

According to early estimates, Jaat has scored in the range of 13.50-14.50 crores net collection on its first Sunday, pushing the extended 4-day weekend to around 40 crores net, which is a good total. This is the second biggest opening weekend ever for a Sunny Deol-starrer after Gadar 2 (135+ crores net in 3 days).



The movie remained super solid in mass pockets, while multiplexes too have come on board and saw a healthy jump on Sunday, which was expected since the film witnessed a marginal growth in multiplexes on Saturday collections. These are positive signs which show the movie has found acceptance beyond the masses.

Jaat will be looking at another good hold on Monday due to the Ambedkar Jayanti holiday, which might take its 5-day total to around 50 crores net. The lack of competition is also an advantage for the movie, and this is likely to help it during the weekdays, as word of mouth is positive.

There will be a big competition for Jaat in the second weekend in the form of Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, but if it manages to hold steady after the Monday holiday, the movie stands a very good chance to enter the 100 crores club, which should be deemed as a success for it.
