The film stopped its dramatic journey on a promising note with Rs 9.5 crore on its initial day. While Friday saw a decline of Rs 7 crore, it is powered by a positive word-mouth and star power on Saturday, with Rs 9.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 14 crore on Sunday. However, Monday’s blues gave a tough fight, in which the collection fell to Rs 7.25 crore, after which it increased to Rs 6 crore on Tuesday.
The biggest surprise came on 7 days (Wednesday), when JAT collected only Rs 47 lakh, which had come down drastically from earlier figures. This steep decline can be attributed to the fatigue or hard competition of the content from the new release.
