EXCLUSIVE: “With Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan is saying, ‘I am not going back’,” asserts Taran Adarsh

Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release Jawan has shattered the box office by creating a new opening day record of Rs. 65.50 crore. In this way, the actor has broken his own opening day record of Rs. 57 crores, which he achieved earlier this year with Pathaan. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh spoke about what this means to the industry.

He said, “What an opening! It’s Rs. 65.50 crores, which is 19% higher than Pathaan, which was the highest ever at Rs. 57 crores. Just imagine if it was a holiday. So the potential of the film is Rs. 70-75 crores on any single day. Of course, it was a part holiday but its Shah Rukh Khan… Everyone said that it’s his comeback with Pathaan. And with Jawan he is saying, ‘I am not going to go back.’”

Some time back, Taran Adarsh had predicted such an opening for Jawan. Recalling that, he said, “I was very confident not because of my prediction or whatever; I don’t want to give myself any credit for that. I would say only one person (made it possible) – Shah Rukh Khan himself. I feel whatever collection you are witnessing, it’s because of this force called Shah Rukh Khan. As I have always said, he is number one to number five. We can’t even give rankings to him. He has reached that stage.”

He added, “I would like to tell you that he has brought so much happiness to the industry in terms of box office numbers. Pathaan and Jawan have had such fantabulous starts at the box office. It’s a whole circle in the film industry, which benefits from a good opening.”

Generally, in a masala film, one is advised to keep logic at home. However, Adarsh feels that one shouldn’t do this with Jawan because it’s much more than just a massy entertainer. “Here we need to advise people to take their brains with them because the film has a lot of messages from start to end,” he added.

Directed by Atlee Kumar and produced by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priya Mani, among others.
