Following the monumental success of Gadar 2, Sunny Deol new Movie action entertainer Jaat has been released in theatres on April 10, 2025. The film, directed by Gopichand Malineni (who also directed Krishna Vamsi’s Shakti) and produced by Mythri Movie Makers (the same studio that produced the Pushpa franchise), the movie has earned decent numbers this weekend but early indications suggest that the film’s buzz is fading.
🎬 Jaat Day 1 and Day 2 Box Office Collection Report
On the opening day, Jaat recorded ₹9.5 crore at the domestic box office. Even with the initial hype, however, the film plummeted on day 2, earning an estimated ₹7 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. Total Jaat box office collection day 2 now sits at ₹16.5 crore.

🎟️ Drop in Theatre Count and Occupancy
Revenue dropped because the number of shows across India was reduced. Jaat had 5,585 shows on Day 1, and only 5,141 shows on Day 2 – a loss of 400+ shows. Some notable reductions were:
- 100 shows dropped in Mumbai
- 30 shows dropped in Delhi-NCR
Occupancy levels also fell:
- Day 1 Hindi Occupancy: 14.28%
- Day 2 Hindi Occupancy: 11.19%
This drop significantly impacted the film’s box office performance.
🎥 Jaat Box Office Collection Day 3: Slight Growth
On the third day, the Sunny Deol-starrer had a minor uptick. As per early estimates, on day 3, Jaat made ₹10 crore, raising its total to ₹26.5 crore.

The film saw a Hindi occupancy of 13.45% on Saturday, with the breakdown being:

- Afternoon Shows: 15.97%
- Evening Shows: 16.85%
Even with this growth, Jaat is still competing with Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly, which is also doing well in South India.

🧑🤝🧑 Star Cast and South India Appeal
Jaat has a strong cast aside from Sunny Deol, consisting of:
- Randeep Hooda (as the main antagonist)
- Regina Cassandra
- Vineet Kumar Singh
- Saiyami Kher
- Ramya Krishnan
- Jagapathi Babu
The movie seeks to merge Bollywood-style action with style typically associated with South Indian cinema, much like Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. Nonetheless, even in the South, in cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru, show counts declined, indicating a moderate audience turnout.
🎤 Sunny Deol on Box Office Pressure
In an interview with Bollywood Life, Sunny Deol spoke about the pressure to make another blockbuster following Gadar 2. He stated:
“Pressure? I have not taken pressure basically ever in my life. But aaj ke zamaane mein even if you are not taking then koi sui chuubho deta he ki pressure lo! Kyuki itne charche hone lag jaate he ke ye figure he, wo he! Aadmi ghabrane lag jata he.”
(Translation: In this era, even if you didn’t want to take pressure, people put you under pressure. So much is being spoken about ‘numbers’ and `collections’, you would feel pressure, even if you didn’t want to.)
🔚 Final Verdict
Jaat, touted as a pan-India action thriller, has begun well but has not been able to sustain its momentum on the second day. While there has been a slight uptick in the Jaat Day 3 box office collection, the film is still to create a major impact as Gadar 2 has.With the competition from regional releases and the diminishing number of theatres, the next few days will be critical in determining if it can stay long and generate revenues at the box office.
