Let's look at the numerous box office milestones that Atlee's Shah Rukh Khan-starring film Jawan would have broken once it joined the elite group as it prepares to surpass the Rs 1,000-crore mark globally.

Jawan, directed by Atlee Kumar and starring Shah Rukh Khan, is doing astronomically well at the box office. The action film has already made over Rs 800 crore worldwide in just 11 days of release, with a staggering domestic total of over Rs 530 crore, highlighting its potential to become one of the biggest triumphs in Indian film history.

The enormous success of Jawan, meanwhile, serves as further evidence of Shah Rukh Khan's deserved status as the Baadshah of Bollywood. The success of Jawan came months after Siddharth Anand's smash Pathaan, directed by SRK, changed the course of history.

Since Pathaan signified SRK's return to the lead role after a five-year absence, many people, including SRK himself, had their reservations at first. The movie ended up earning Rs 1,055 crore at the box office worldwide, with an astonishing India gross of Rs 657.5 crore, making it the second-highest-grossing Hindi movie of all time.

The Atlee-directed film has now solidified its status as a box office marvel as it prepares to surpass the Rs 1,000-crore mark globally. Let's look at the many box office records that the SRK-starring movie would have broken after it joined the Rs 1,000-crore club as it continues to advance with remarkable velocity.

Only two movies—Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal (2016) and Pathaan (2023)—have earned more than Rs 1,000 crore globally, but it took both of them a long time to reach that mark. In contrast to Pathaan, which reached the Rs 1,000 crore club on its 27th day in theatres, Dangal took months to reach the milestone and did so only after it was released in China. However, based on the present pattern, Jawan is probably going to reach the mark by the end of its third week in theatres.

Shah Rukh will become the only Indian artist with two $1 billion-grossing films in a single year, in addition to becoming the only Bollywood actor with two such films if Jawan enters the Rs 1,000-crore club.

2023's second-highest-grossing Indian movie

Jawan, the seventh-highest-grossing Indian film of all time, is now the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2023. The movie is also the first to gross more than Rs 400 crore in Hindi. Additionally, it enters Rs 300 crore the quickest.

Jawan, which also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethuptahi, Sanya Malhotra, and Sunil Grover, was released on September 7 to positive reviews. Additionally, Deepika Padukone made a special appearance in the movie. The following Shah Rukh movie, Dunki, is slated for a Christmas release.
