One of Shah Rukh Khan’s most famous dialogues – “Don’t underestimate the power of a common man” – pretty much sums up the box office fate of his latest release ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. The audience has rejected the film in the first weekend itself, sending out a clear message that they expect better films from the superstar.
‘JHMS’ has survived the first weekend at big city multiplexes, but collections came crashing down all across the country with each passing day. The weekend collections are the lowest for a Shah Rukh Khan film in the last 5 years. Today, several exhibitors have reduced the number of shows of the film and replaced it with ‘Mubarakan’ which showed excellent growth over its second weekend.
The Imtiaz Ali directed film has collected Rs 45.75 crore in its first weekend and the trend suggests the film will end its first week with net box office collections of around 60-62 crore.
With ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ releasing this weekend, ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ won’t be able to add much to its first week total. Our IndicineLBO prediction of 67 crore will be the range the film is looking to finish at.
And if it does indeed fall in that range, the collections will be equivalent to Shah Rukh’s last film ‘Dear Zindagi’ where he had a special appearance. But since the lead star of that film was Alia Bhatt, the costs were much lower and hence the film managed to be a decent success. ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ has nearly 3 times the costs.
The film will be the eighth highest grosser of 2017 after ‘Bahubali 2’, ‘Raees’, ‘Tubelight’, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, ‘Jolly LLB 2’, ‘Kaabil’ and ‘Hindi Medium’. It could beat ‘Hindi Medium’ if it does around 9 crore today and holds in the 5 crore range tomorrow.
Monday (Day 4) Box Office Collection Update: ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ has witnessed a significant drop on its fourth day at the box office. Ticket prices have dropped to weekday level at several multiplexes, while others have retained weekend rates on the partial holiday for Raksha Bandhan.
Last year, Rustom and Mohenjo Daro were playing in theatres. Raksha Bandhan was on Day 7 for both films. Mohenjo Daro collected 4.24 crore, while Rustom ended up with collections of 8.62 crore. From early trends this morning, it looks like ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ will finish somewhere in between. From the level of occupancy in the morning, it’s looking like a 7 crore range total on Monday. It remains to be seen if the film will show growth as the day progresses.

Excuse indicine in dear zindagi srk sir have play supporting actor not a special appearance film for him.More than 45 minutes his appearance in the film calling special appearance ridiculous
In my city Bareilly Mubarakan is running on very high occupancy in comparison to JHMS which is dismil if u don’t believe you can check it on Book my show
It’s okay that film has failed…not to worry dear srk..you can always have a next chance …we love you..
Its an end of an era. He will be remembered for his roles in various blocksbuster movies. He will remain romance king of bollywood for years to come. Bollywood will not be same without him. Now he is gone but not forgotten. SRK amar rahe. RIP.
@Adav what’s the nonsense a female fan can’t see srk kissing i want to slap her face don’t behave like srk wife gouri who don’t have problem with kissing if script demands, amir kissed in 3idiots D3 both are atbb and upcoming fim thug of hisdustan have kissing scenes between him n fatima who played father daughter in dangal, ultimately script n story matter
Akki era begins this weekend

so you mean to tell me k jis bande ne apni life ma ikka duka blockbusters di hain woh achanak saari blockbusters dena shuru kr dega. Srk ab woh nhi rha lekin iska yeh matlab nhi k akshay SRK ban gya ha
5th Aug 1994 : HAHK : lifetime 72 cr
4th Aug 2017 : JHMS : lifetime 67 cr
Who says business of bollywood films has grown exponentially in last 25 yrs ?
indcine this really becomes boring almost all you article about JHMS we want different articles now I think you should writing article about how akki sir going to save bollywood with TEPK
Bahibali 2 All india 1st weekend was 396 Crore.
@indicine please tell salman khan doing race 3 with remo or is it just a rumour.. please answer
@Indicine-Din to khatm hone do,then you can update it…
Jagga jasus ka to ab tak update hua nhi collection,100 to cross hua hoga..
Lol.
Akshay’s clashed movie on day7 >> global king’s solo movie on day4.
Global star for a reason…LOL?
Bakwaas film so it deserves DISASTER tag
JHMS is biggest FLOP of the year, So much negetivity about SRK & the Movie. As a big Fan of SRK, tears come out from my eyes for waiting for a movie from long time and is result is so painful. Hope that Sharukh understand our feelings & comeback with a beautiful film that we can feel proud on him.
Rakesh Roshan Retweeted KRK box office tweet of JHMS. After bashing, he deleted that RT.
WTF id he doing? Looks like Krish4 on Xmas 2018 :(
@indicine, Enough of JHMS already. No more articles on JHMS please save the one for lifetime collections. Please post other stuff too.
In today’s time viewer’s want to see some extraordinary and heart touching movie just like Dangal, Tanu Weds Munu Return, Sultan, Chak De India, Chennai Express, Airlift
Not like same story which they already seen in past.
Srk become angry if any fan or no fan on tweeter advice him to choose some good script in near future.
Srk don’t have script sence.
Anand L Rai make movie with actor’s not with stars.
His Dwarf project I will see as Anand L Rais movie like Tanu Weds Manu Series and Raajhna not as A Srk starer movie……
Salman and Srk Choose Director And Banner while Aamir choose script above all.
Even Hritik failed to choose right script like Aamir choose Thugs Of Hindustan. .
Why you are predicting only 67? Very weird prediction .
1St weekend 46
7 + 4+4+3 = 64CR in 1st week which is too low .
It will get some boost on indepedence day as TEPK will run housefull on that day and it will get some remaining crowd.
So 12CR in 2nd week and lifetime = 78-80CR SUPER FLOP..
67 crores – shockingly low Even by srk standards
indicine was praising SRK from some time on his opening numbers , after JHMS opening numbers they can’t praise SRK even on this topic..!
If we remove Rakshabandhan and high ticket prices, then JHMS lifetime collection is in the range of Half girlfriend and Mubarakan.. Srk ki Aukaat Arjun kapoor tak hi hai…. Lol.. Even Irfan khan beat him at box office.. And he is still doing party with Imtiaz and Anushka as if the film is a sucess!!

Please update overseas collection of jhms
Where u napping imtiaz and srk during this movie.
Don’t fool people by making such movies
If u feel like taking a good sleep go watch this movie
@Indicine… please update Mubarakaan collections also
Srk fans need to understand that pulling down salman movies out of hatred is not helping srks cause. Trying to bring salman down is not lifting up srk. Fans of both stars r denting their stardom by this. The abuse n mockery of srk fans was much more evident during tubelight. Surely dragged the film down. But it is srk now who they shd worry about. Salman may eventually be dragged down but srk is already down. Stop the hatred n b smart!!
@indicine can u tell me the first weekend overseas collection of JHMS ..!?
@srkian if 60 of Tubelight during ramdhan was disasterous then wat u have to say about 45 crores of JHMS?
If it collected 70cr will it be a disaster. If it happens is this the first disaster of srk in last two decades?
@Indicine plz reply
Sadly a superstar career is declining. He must chose great scripts or else he end losing his stardom too.
Industry can expect from Salman and Aamir they are ture megastars.
Waiting for TZH!!!!
