Jawan recorded unprecedented numbers down South as it racked up 23 crore nett on the first day. This was with almost 10 crore nett coming in languages which 43% of the business. The Hindi version collected around 13 crore nett which is also a record.

The number for the hindi version is actually not that far ahead of Pathaan as that film had also got 12.25 crore nett in Hindi with an overall total of 14.25 crore nett. The reason for this is the Telugu version of the film took a lot of business out of the Hindi version in Nizam / Andhra which led to far lower collections for Hindi as compared to Pathaan.

The bigger records are in Mysore and Kerala as both circuits smash records by a distance and generally both are in Hindi. There are some decent collections in Tamil in Kerala but the 2.20 crore nett number in Hindi is phenomenal. The 2 crore nett mark is breached for the first time but you hardly look at this circuit as outside Shahrukh Khan it hardly collects. The lifetime number of 1 crore nett is a huge ask for most films and even a historical BLOCKBUSTER like Gadar 2 did only 50 lakhs. Mysore hit 5 crore nett for the first time for a HINDI film. The collections from South for Jawan on day one are as follows. The regional version is in brackets.

Nizam / Andhra - 9,25,00,000 (5,00,00,000)
