Sunny Deol’s return to action-packed cinema with Jaat has been a treat for his fans. Released on April 10, 2025, this Gopichand Malineni directorial is slowly but steadily carving its place at the box office. Co-starring Randeep Hooda, the film blends intense action with raw drama—classic ingredients that are resonating with mass audiences.
Let’s take a detailed look at Jaat’s journey so far at the box office and where it stands after Day 5.
A Strong Start Sets the Tone
Jaat began its theatrical run with a promising opening day collection of ₹9.5 crores. Despite minimal pre-release buzz, the film benefited from Sunny Deol’s loyal fanbase and the curiosity surrounding his pairing with Randeep Hooda.
Day 2 saw a slight dip as collections settled at ₹7 crores, which is not uncommon for a Friday. However, the momentum picked up over the weekend. The film collected ₹9.75 crores on Saturday and soared on Sunday with ₹14 crores—marking its highest single-day collection so far.
Monday Dip, But Still Holding Strong
As with most films, Jaat experienced a drop on its first Monday, April 14. According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected ₹7.5 crores on Day 5. While that’s a decline from Sunday’s figures, it still reflects decent weekday strength, especially for a film of this scale.
Interestingly, despite being a weekday, some cities saw impressive occupancy. Chennai, in particular, recorded a surprising 94.25% occupancy—a remarkable number for a Hindi film. Jaipur and Delhi-NCR also reported healthy attendance with rates above 20%.

What’s Fueling Jaat’s Box Office Run?
Several key elements are contributing to Jaat’s performance:
- Sunny Deol’s Mass Appeal: Riding high on the success of Gadar 2, Sunny brings his signature intensity and power-packed screen presence, which continues to draw his core audience.
- Dynamic Duo: Randeep Hooda, known for his gritty and grounded acting, complements Sunny’s high-energy persona, making their pairing a major selling point.
- Regional Success: Occupancy stats reveal that Jaat is doing particularly well in Tier-2 cities and unexpected regions like Chennai, which gives the film a broader demographic reach.
- Star-Studded Cast: With Urvashi Rautela, Regina Cassandra, Nidhhi Agerwal, Saiyami Kher, and Vineet Kumar Singh in key roles, the film offers a mix of glamour, emotion, and dramatic depth.
Budget and Competition
Made with a production budget of around ₹100 crores, Jaat still has some distance to cover before entering the profit zone. But the current pace is promising, especially when compared to other recent releases like Jack, The Diplomat, and Good Bad Ugly, which have had mixed results.
The Road Ahead: Can Jaat Maintain the Momentum?
The coming days will be critical for Jaat. If it continues to attract viewers through the weekdays and benefits from word-of-mouth, it could cross the ₹50 crore mark within the first week itself. That would solidify its position as a commercial success in today’s unpredictable box office climate.
With no major Bollywood competition immediately around the corner, the film has a good opportunity to stretch its theatrical run.
Final Verdict
Jaat may not be a blockbuster yet, but it’s clearly a winner in terms of audience engagement and box office resilience. Sunny Deol and Randeep Hooda deliver a power-packed performance, and the film’s emotional core and action-heavy narrative strike a chord with the masses.
With ₹47.8 crores already in the bag and the ₹50 crore mark within touching distance, Jaat is proving that strong storytelling and solid performances still hold weight in Indian cinema.
