Sunny Deol's Jaat Nears ₹85 Crore at the Box Office

Sunny Deol's film "Jaat" has earned ₹1.25 crore on its 17th day, bringing its total to ₹82.85 crore. The action-packed film achieved a 13.27% Hindi occupancy on its first Saturday. Despite a controversy over a scene that allegedly hurt Christian sentiments, the makers removed the scene and apologized. A sequel is already in the works.

Sunny Deol's action-drama "Jaat" has shown resilience in its box office performance, despite facing mixed reviews and a minor controversy. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned an estimated Rs 75 lakh on its 17th day, bringing its total India net collection to approximately Rs 82.85 crore [1]. This performance is noteworthy, as it has managed to sustain a modest yet consistent collection throughout its run.

"Jaat," directed by Gopichand Malineni, has been attracting viewers in mass circuits, particularly in northern regions, but its overall collection has remained modest. The film achieved a 13.27% Hindi occupancy on its first Saturday, indicating a steady but not overwhelming audience response [1]. Despite the controversy over a scene that allegedly hurt Christian sentiments, the makers removed the scene and apologized, which may have contributed to a more stable viewing trend.

The film's total India net collection now stands at approximately Rs 81.5 crore, with Sunny Deol's Jaat potentially becoming the second biggest earner of his career after "Gadar 2," although it remains far from being a true commercial hit [1]. The film has also been confirmed to have a sequel, with Sunny Deol expressing gratitude for the film's success and promising that "Jaat 2" will be even better [2].

"Jaat" has received mixed reviews, with IMDb ratings at 6.9 out of 10, indicating a semi-hit status. The film has been praised for its electrifying drama, whistle-worthy dialogues, and powerful social message, but some critics have found it to be a total time waste [1]. Despite these mixed reactions, the film's consistent collection suggests a dedicated fan base.
