Jawan becomes the 2nd Shah Rukh Khan Film to hit a century on opening day

Jawan has become the 7th Indian Film to enter the Rs 100 crore worldwide club and the second for Shah Rukh Khan. While every other actor in Hindi Film Industry is yet to even top a global opening of Rs 90 crore, Shah Rukh Khan sits on the top like a boss with 2 films in the Rs 100 crore opening day club. His last release, Pathaan, had scored a global opening of Rs 108 crore. At this point of time, the Rs 100 crore opening club can safely be termed the Shah Rukh Khan club too as far as the Hindi Film Industry is concerned.

Jawan and Pathaan have done these numbers without having paid previews and fan benefit shows, which other films in the list from the south had. The first to enter the Rs 100 crore worldwide club was Bahubali 2, which scored Rs 201 crore on the opening day back in 2017, and till date holds the top spot for biggest opening of all time. The second biggest is RRR at Rs 190 crore followed by KGF 2 at Rs 162 crore.

History has been created on the opening day by Shah Rukh Khan with Jawan and this is just the beginning as many more records are expected to come down crumbling through the opening weekend.
