After collecting Rs. 6 crores on Tuesday, Jaat saw a drop in Wednesday as Rs. 4.05 crores came in. Of course, there were partial holidays before that and then reduced ticket prices also came into play. Still, had Wednesday collections been closer to Rs. 5 crores, then that would have been a very good hold. Hence, even though Rs. 4.05 crores is still fine and basically on expected lines, one feels that an added crore would have helped.
Nonetheless, that should be taken care of today since tomorrow is a partial holiday of Good Friday in some parts of the country and as a result the evening and night shows would be better today. This means that collections should be in the vicinity of Rs. 4 crores again today. As a matter of fact, even though Kesari - Chapter 2 is coming tomorrow, Jaat should score around Rs. 4 crores again since it’s for the single screens and interiors, which have a very different audience when compared to the Akshay Kumar starrer.
So far, the film has collected Rs. 57.97 crores and that’s more than a decent number for the first 7 days. Extended week of 8 days will help as the collections will now be closer to Rs. 62 crores. Post that, the second weekend will be the deciding factor for how much further to Rs. 90 crores will the Sunny Deol starrer go in its final run.
Note: All collections as per various box office sources
