Jaat lifetime BO collection: Sunny Deol's film earns Rs 115 cr, trade analyst cites reason for mediocre show

Jaat lifetime box office collection: Sunny Deol¡¯s Jaat hit the screens on April 10 and opened to a decent response at the box office, and grossed Rs 9.5 crore worldwide on the first day. The film then witnessed growth in mass centres but remained flat in the urban areas. Now, nearly a month later, Jaat¡¯s run is over and its verdict is out.

Jaat disappoints at the worldwide box office

Jaat, Sunny Deol¡¯s first release after Gadar 2 (2023), has failed to live up to expectations despite the mass hero¡¯s popularity. According to Manobala Vijayabalan, a trade analyst, the actioner earned Rs 115 crore globally in its full run. This is not a bad figure when viewed in isolation.

It, however, pales in comparison to what Gadar 2 made in its full run. Anil Sharma¡¯s well-received sequel to Gadar (2001) earned Rs 691 crore in its lifetime on a budget of Rs 60 crore and emerged as a blockbuster despite facing competition from Akshay Kumar¡¯s OMG 2 and the Rajinikanth-led Jailer.

Jaat received mixed reviews with critics praising the performances but panning the presentation. Manobala feels that the average word-of-mouth stunted its performance at the box office.

¡°Jaat is an average to hit venture at the box office when compared with its budget. The film managed to fetch ?115 cr across the world. It couldn't perform well because of mixed reactions and competition,¡± he told Indiatimes.

Jaat was released alongside Ajith Kumar¡¯s Good Bad Ugly, which emerged as the top choice of the audience in the Tamil market and earned an impressive Rs 242 crore at the box office. Sunny Deol¡¯s film also faced competition from Kesari Chapter 2, which hit the screens the next week and did well in the urban market.
