Jaat Box Office Collection Day 15: Sunny Deol’s movie Jaat took a 69 per cent hit in earnings as it completed two weeks in theatres.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Jaat, which was released in theatres on April 10, had witnessed a lush 8-day opening week and had collected ₹61.65 crore during the run.
However, the movie's week-on-week earnings were hit massively, mainly due to strong competition from Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 and Jaat's run-in with controversy and an FIR.
Sacnilk said Jaat earned just ₹19.04 crore in its second week, which is 69.12 per cent lower than its first week's earnings.
According to Sacnilk, Sunny Deol's movie minted ₹1.19 crore on Thursday, Day 15. Jaat, which saw a 28.95 per cent fall in earnings on Wednesday, was hit by another 11.85 per cent on Thursday.
Over its 15-day run at the theatres, Jaat has minted ₹80.69 crore net in India.
Jaat also stars Randeep Hooda, Viineet Kumar Siingh, Ramya Krishnan, and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles.
The Sunny Deol movie has earned ₹107 crore at the worldwide box office, of which ₹13.2 crore was collected overseas. Jaat has earned a gross of ₹93.8 crore in India.
Sunny Deol has announced that he will be back as Baldev Pratap Singh soon. Bollywood’s action hero said there will be a Jaat 2, a sequel to the movie.
Director Gopichand Malineni is reportedly going to direct the sequel.
“You have given me so much love for my film Jaat. I promise Jaat 2 will be even better,” Sunny said in the video.
The actor will soon resume the shoot for his upcoming movie Border 2.
Jaat actors Sunny Deol, Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar, director Gopichand and producer Naveen were booked in Punjab's Jalandhar for “hurt sentiments” of the Christian community.
The filmmakers said they have deleted the controversial scene from the film.
