After having totally left the nation berserk with its trailer, the makers of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan opened the advance booking windows and the film started to create records. Exhibitors from all across the country are saying that the advance booking and the manner in which tickets are getting sold are HISTORIC.
As soon as Jawan began to set its feet at the box office windows, the news portals started to seek the experiences of the exhibitors. Bollywood Hungama previously reported the comments of some exhibitors from different parts of the nation. Kamal Gianchandani, President, MAI, CEO of PVR Pictures Ltd and Chief Business Planning & Strategy of PVR Ltd, said, “The advance is excellent. It’s currently tracking higher than Pathaan. I think it’s well poised for a humongous opening.” He added, “The first day can be historic.” When asked if it’s at par with Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (2017) and KGF – Chapter 2 (2022), he replied, “It’s difficult to comment but I would think it’s more (than KGF and Baahubali).” Rajender Singh Jyala, chief programming officer of INOX Leisure Ltd, agreed, “The advance booking is phenomenal. It is the highest advance that we have seen for any film at PVR Inox.” He revealed, “We opened the booking in the morning. In less than 12 hours, we have sold over 1,25,000 tickets. This is unprecedented.” Read more: Vijay Deverkaonda Slays It In Brown Suit
