Jawan set up a new first record as it collected around 323 crore nett beating Pathan by a small margin. It also means Shahrukh Khan has two films to above the 300 crore nett mark in week one and the only male lead to have done that. There was a time before the pandemic when the 300 crore mark was a lifetime benchmark but now it has become a benchmark for the first week.

The are only nine films to cross the 200 crore nett mark in week one and four have come post teh pandemic. Gadar 2 would also have easily made it above 300 crore nett had it not been for a clash. Simply put the numbers today are at a different level now compared to a few years back. Obviously for the right films which have a wide reach. It is great for the film industry as this will mean less of those Pink's and Piku's and cinema can be what it should be.

The numbers of Jawan are simply phenomenal though as Pathan has done similar numbers before they do not look as big as they did at the time of Pathaan. This is because Pathaan broke the record by almost 30% while Jawan is doing by 2% but the record that Jawan beat was also a much tougher record. The top ten first weeks of all time are as follows.

1. Jawan - 3,22,75,00,000 apprx
