Jaat Box Office Collection Day 2: Sunny Deol movie sees 26.32 percent drop before long weekend; mints THIS amount

Jaat Box Office Collection Day 2: Sunny Deol starrer, which made decent numbers on its release day, witnessed 26.32 percent drop in earnings on Friday, April 12. However, after the release of one of Bollywood's most awaited movie box office earnings of Salman Khan's Sikandar nosedived significantly.

Sunny Deol's latest action thriller failed to match his last blockbuster Gadar 2 furore, falling far behind in terms of Box Office earnings. Its release clashed with several other big star movies like Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly, Mammootty’s Bazooka, Basil Joseph's Maranamass and Naslen K Gafor's Alappuzha Gymkhana.

What experts say about Sunny Deol movie?

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh who gave Jaat 3.5 star rating to movie in a post on X said strong spot bookings, particularly in mass belts proved to be a game changer after Sunny Deol movie recorded low advance booking on Wednesday. “A decline on Friday cannot be ruled out [working day], but the #Baisakhi weekend is expected to boost footfalls significantly on Saturday and Sunday. With Monday also being a holiday [#AmbedkarJayanti], it's important for #Jaat to post a healthy score over the extended weekend,” the post adds.

Another analyst Sumit Kadel in a post on X stated, “#Jaat sees a 20% drop on Friday compared to Day 1, with estimated business in the range of ₹6.5–7 cr nett. Film would need substantial jump on Saturday & Sunday to have a respectable extended First weekend at the box office.”

Notably, Randeep Hooda stars as antagonist Rana Tunga in the action-thriller Jaat, featuring Regina Cassandra, Saiyami Kher, Vineet Kumar Singh, Ramya Krishnan, Babloo Prithiveeraj, and Jagapathi Babu in pivotal roles. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Zee Studio, and People Media Factory, ‘Jaat’ is available in three languages, namely Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
