The previous record was held by Alia BhattĄ¯s Gangubai Kathiawadi which clocked 13.8 million viewing hours in its opening week. Going by JawanĄ¯s performance, it wonĄ¯t be long when the movie will break the record set by RajamouliĄ¯s RRR which is 18.4 million viewing hours.?
By achieving this feat, Shah Rukh KhanĄ¯s Jawan will become the most-watched Indian movie on OTT giant Netflix.
Jawan attracted backlash for not justifying the tag of ĄŽextended cutĄ¯
In some of his interviews, Atlee had said that many good scenes in the film were removed due to runtime issues. Therefore new scenes would be added to the OTT version. An estimate of additional 15-20 minutes were expected which would have made the run time over 3 hours long.?
The final copy of Jawan before it went to the censor board was said to be around 190 minutes. Post which it was reduced to 165 minutes for theatres. The digital audiences were expecting to catch the entire 190 minutes but the OTT version released with just 170 minutes of run time, which brought the difference to a mere 5 minutes.?
As per viewers, the difference between the two versions is so subtle that it mostly goes unnoticed.
Jawan features a star-studded cast which includes Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Eijaz Khan and others in significant roles.?
Produced by Gauri Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, the filmĄ¯s captivating soundtrack has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Jawan is available for streaming on Netflix.
