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.

@Jaz
Stop trolling SRK will u?
Now I was hoping SRK-Akki fanwar to end.
And even if Akki is ahead today in overall career SRK will be much ahead
Now peace
let tepk open better than jhms and with excellent review like Dangal then i accept current standing, if a actor super hit is other actor under performer clearing stardom difference
Disaster of epic proportions. It falls in the category of mohenjodaro.
Mohenjodaro had only hritik but here it has big hero+ a big heroine.
It deserves disaster as you have already said
come on guys I am akshay fan but still I think its too early to write off srk because he still as big as a star he used to be.. he needs to select good script and he is better actor than aamir any given day because he emotes well than aamir and aamir is just intelligent but not a great actor like srk..remember ddlj khnh etc while dangal was good but not for aamirs acting but script
when 2014-2018 period going to finish because from 2018 onwards srk is going to rule Drawf film, Warrior film, Don3
still no update on overseas collections
Srk is finish now.
If you take the Red Chillies calculator into account, the actual weekend figures would be closer to 30 crore and lifetime less than 50 crore. Manipulators galore
M a big fan of srk but srk has lost his script sense n if he continues to mak films lik this then fans might skip his movies.raees was a good film but this film is disappointment for we srk fans n srk is responsible for working wit shit rom com director Imtiaz Ali.plz for god sake don’t make films lik this bcoz u need a good comeback film now otherwise haters vl keep barking n troll us n u vl b responsible for that
Srk finished??? Come on anti srk fanz his been here for 25years plus!!! These akki deluded fanz lost it!!! Salman n srk will and always be remembered as legends
@Tashan Abe gobar waala being a fan of tiny flopstar like akshay you better shut your mouth. Your gobar is the worst and crappier actor of the millenium. In each and every movie he over acts like a joker and doesn’t know ABCD of acting. Blabbering on Aamir’s acting skills? You jobless buffoon who the he’ll are you to judge him? He is the best actor of the generation even better than amitabh and dilip kumar. Get a life gobar fan. Srk is the best over actor in the world no doubt but never compare such clowns with the ultimate epitome institute of acting nd biggest superstar of all time. Get lost.
@Tashan your aukaatless gobar doesn’t know acting neither does he have any stardom. Poor flop actor struggling badly to cross 130 cr every time forget mega clubs like 200 cr, 300 cr and 350 cr etc. Aukaat me reh. Dangal crushed and bulldozed your tiny actor flopshay’s highest grosser in just 3.5 days. Thugs of hindostan will crush rowdy joker in just 3 days. Wait and watch idiot.
@yadav@6:16 pm,the day ur idols fans stops trolling akki I will do n if they don’t I will keep on trolling,that’s my promise.
And one more thing always current standing matters.
Jab Harry Met Sejal is now a big disaster as it is declared by the trade post harry met sejal disaster it has pushed up Hrithik to No 3 and Akshay to No 4 behind Salman at No 1 and Aamir at No 2 kindly clarify sir/madam.
Now that Jab Harry Met Sejal is a big disaster it has certainly pushed up Hrithik to No 3 and Akshay to No 4 behind Salman at No 1 and Aamir at No 2 pushing Shah rukh to No 5. Trade says Harry Met Sejal(disaster) will surely impact next film of Shah rukh’s Dwarf.
JHMS is not a disaster. Internationally it has exceeded 100 cores in three days….57 cores in India and 43 cores overseas ( source ;Times of India )
@Madhuri no deer. You fool look at your eyes and get for check up. Aamir is at no.1, salman at no.2, akshay at no.3 and srk at no.4 and varun at no.5. Hrithik is nowhere in top 5. 1 movie in 2 years but still flops and follows up by another average grosser. So how is he even in top 5?
According to the Times of India, the S.R.K film exceeded 100 cores at the box office, internationally after three day;;; 43 cores overseas, and 57 cores in India. It appears to me that it is a success, so let us get rid of the Doom and Gloom that has become the trademark of your reporting system.
Even the top makers of films in Hollywood depend on International markets to regain their capital and make a profit, as making good films become more and more expensive. Cutting corners often prove costly at the box-office, so producers should not be pennywise and pound foolish. Bollywood films are very popular all over the world and they do extremely well… except when they try to imitate others, to the extent that they lose their personality.
