Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ is poised to hit theaters worldwide in just one day. On Wednesday, film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter or X to provide an update on the film’s advance bookings.

Manobala Vijayabalan tweeted, “Breaking News: ‘Jawan’ crosses the half-century mark in global pre-release earnings. Advance sales for Day 1 in India – ₹32.47 crore, and overseas – ₹18.70 crore [$2.25 million, as reported locally]. Total worldwide pre-release earnings – ₹51.17 crore. Additionally, Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ outpaces ‘Pathaan’ in advance bookings within India.”
He also shared that ‘Jawan’ has already sold 3,91,000 tickets in multiplexes alone. It was reported earlier on Tuesday that the film had sold over 7 lakh tickets in India.
Manobala Vijayabalan mentioned in another tweet on Wednesday, “Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ now ranks among the top 5 films with the highest advance bookings in multiplexes, with 3,91,000 tickets sold. The top 10 Day 1 advance bookings at national multiplexes include titles like ‘Baahubali 2’ – 6,50,000, ‘Pathaan’ – 5,56,000, ‘KGF Chapter 2’ – 5,15,000, ‘War’ – 4,10,000, ‘Jawan’ – 3,91,000, ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ – 3,46,000, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ – 3,40,000, ‘Bharat’ – 3,16,000, ‘Sultan’ – 3,10,000, and ‘Dangal’ – 3,05,000.”
