Before the theatrical release of Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan, there was tremendous curiosity in the trade. Can Jab Tak Hai Jaan beat Ek Tha Tiger to be the year’s biggest grosser? If it does, can it go on to finally cross the 202 mark of 3 Idiots, thereby also joining the 200 crore club?
3 Idiots, currently holds the record for the highest grossing Hindi film in history. The record was set in 2009. Since then, every big ‘superstar’ release was expected to surpass the Aamir Khan classic. Ek Tha Tiger came close, but finished it’s record-smashing run 2 crores short of the 202 crore target.
Below, we track Jab Tak Hai Jaan’s box office figures day wise and compare it to Ek Tha Tiger and 3 Idiots. This page will also be updated everyday with predictions.
Note: Due to fewer screens and competition, the opening weekend of JTHJ is unlikely to come close to ETT. In the long run, with good word-of-mouth and family audience coming out in numbers to watch Yash Chopra’s last film.. who knows?
Jab Tak Hai Jaan vs Ek Tha Tiger vs 3 Idiots
Updates
- 13th November: Shahrukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan opens well on 2500 screens in India. Business at mass centres affected due to competition from Son Of Sardar. Also, the runtime of 3 hours has resulted in fewer shows at multiplexes. Diwali festivities in most parts of the country, considerably reduces occupancy for afternoon / evening shows. Day 1: 15.2 crore
- 14th November: Picked up all over India by more than 30% to record a healthy two day total. Again, SOS affected collections in North India. Day 2: 19.54 crore
- 15th November: Expected drop on Thursday. Nothing major. JTHJ continues to do well at multiplexes across India. Super strong in West Bengal, Nizam/Andhra and Mysore. At this point, after 3 days (considered to be the first weekend), Ek Tha Tiger leads with 60.34 cr, followed by Jab Tak Hai Jaan 49.22 cr and 3 Idiots with 40 cr (incl preview shows).
- 16th November: Will be updated soon with official figures. Early estimates suggest a 30% drop.
- 17th November: Business dropped on Saturday as theatres in Maharashtra were shut down after the passing away of Bal Thackeray.
- 18th November (Sunday) : While the all India business picked up by 10%, all theatres in Maharashtra remained shut. The records of 3 Idiots and Ek Tha Tiger out of reach now.
- 19th November: The film dropped considerably on it’s first weekend (Monday).
- 20th November: Dropped again by 13%. Business in Maharashtra was back to normal, but didn’t help the total.

@j. Inshaallah it ll cross.
jthj will of course break all records.and sharukh you are my best actor and I believe this film will be no 1 in bollywood.
Jab tak hai jaan is a totally BAKWAS movie. It’s not a SRK type movie. It is still running just for SRK or nothing. I ‘m also a big fan of SRK but I agree that the story & editing is very weak. So, I think it can’t break the ETT’s record.
@Sahir
first to be an illiterate is not a sin…..most of the people are illiterate bcz then didn’t get chance to study….being poor is not a sin…
2ndly overseas people ( em not saying all but most of them) are cheap( in a sense that they just believe in sex ,they are vulgar etc etc….
see i don’t like masaala flicks…so i didn’t like ETT or bodygaurd..but i like romantic movies…
3rdly i hv just seen JTHJ today…i wish i ld hv not seen that crap..
was that a film or a joke?
1st half complete vulgar & cheap…. short dresses of kat & most of all what a concept that
Neetu singh married anupam kher…left him ( fall in love with rishi kapur …but never married him)
is that love…
is there anyone from u guys who ld say that for it’s ok…
i hd never expected such disgrace from yash chopra film….
does love means to cross every border….dump your husband, go with someone else…live with him without marrige…
i don’t think hindus or neither muslims follow such thing???
what type of love was he trying to preach…
if that’s love then i wish no one should love anyone…..
2nd half bit good …but Kat can’t act… again anushka in short dress though acting wise she was good…….story on wafer thin plot???
i had a lot of expectations from this one (as it was yash ji muvi) but a big let down for me…
the only saving grace of the movie was SRK…he performed damn well….
mark my words this movie ll not cross 150 crz…
it ll be somewhere 120-140 cr….
the weakest film of yash chopra ……..
hey guys, wht r u doing? plz leave this debate. wht u all will get doing this? no producer of these films will give u any share from their pockets. plz don’t waste ur time. do ur respective job. all the films r doing really well. so its good for all, for the nation as well.
for those who say jab tak hai jaan is not doing well
jab tak hai jaan facing many hurdles
competition with sos
2 durja puja religious
3 death of bal takaray mahashstra cinemas closed
ask urself if ett face these problems
will it reach 186 cr
no
also a factor which played in favor of salman is the independence day
FOR THE PPL WHO SAY SRK IS THE NO.1 STAR IN INDIA.
HERE IS THE ANS FROM BOI
Q. The media is always talking about Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan as being the biggest stars but here in my city its Aamir Khan and that will be the case in other parts of the countryas well.
A. You are from Bangalore and Aamir Khan is easily number one in Bangalore and in the circuit of Mysore but in at other places its generally Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in some pockets of India and Overseas.
The approx five day totals are 65-66 crore nett for Jab Tak Hai Jaan and 50-51 crore nett for Son Of Sardaar.
@ Sahir : SRK movies r classics n other actors’ movies r cheap masala flicks?? So what was OSO n Main Hoon Naa ? Why didnt they break records in overseas yaar? A fish seller becomes a major that too a bomb defuser just coz he wants play with his death, what great intelligence, right… ?? Nilesh has given u a tight slap about overseas audience, wake up… Still not awake? Take one more from me….
@Noam : wash ur face n comment. It was not Arbaaz Khan who was making Sher Khan but Sohail Khan, about movie being Shelved there r various reasons…. Budget, less time for making, Salman’ dates n health issues…. A win is a win, no one bothers whether it was a bad decision or bad weather or due to D/L method… One should accept defeat n move on… It is clear Salman is currently ruling n SRK is no longer what he used to be… Now stop giving excuses n face reality…
Bollywood movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in leads, has once again shown a big jump in its collection at the Box Office in India on the fifth day. The late filmmaker Yash Chopra’s last directorial venture has crossed Rs 75 crore mark at the collection centres across the country in five days. It has become the highest ever collection for any film released on Diwali.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which released on 2500+ screens on November 13, opened to a superb response at the domestic Box Office and its business went up by 25% on the second day. But its collection dipped considerably on Thursday and Friday and it was due to busy day for colleges and offices.
The romantic thriller Jab Tak Hai Jaan once again witnessed a big jump on Saturday. It has collected a total of Rs 75.14 crores nett at the collection centres across the country in five days. Its breakup is Rs 15.23 cr on Tue, Rs 19.54 cr on Wed, Rs 14.45 cr on Thu, Rs 11.17 cr and Rs 14.75 cr on Sat.
@blockbuster . u watch Ur face dude. it was arbaaz khan productions. and what ever I had said was from stardust magazine. guess it would know better than u know. and even I have given reference and do go through it. it was just because of budget. other wise it would have mentioned.
try to accept facts. rather than blabering.
and as far as I am concerned I agreed that salman ruling the roost now in India.
u too try to accept the facts
RATHER THAN COOK UR OWN STORIES. AND COMMENT ON INDICINE.
@blockbuster. guess u seem to have some eye problem. read what nilesh has said. he has said not all the people r like that.
man u seem to have the habit of cooking Ur own stories.
my sincere request.
even those people who watch overseas r Indians.
as far as sensibility goes I. what sensibility do salman movie s have
catch plane in mid air. or jump from 20 storeyed building or kill 100 people. that’s so sensible right.man great. keep Ur sense going
@blockbuster. when u don’t have enough money to make or don’t have ability in ones acting than make reasons. HEALTH ISSUES. LOL.
GREAT GOING dude.
and WATCH UR LANGUAGE DUDE
@indicne update ur page the businees of jthj is of 5 days not 4of 4 days ok 72 crores approx (4 days)
@noam: It was SRK who said and media said RA-ONE is 117-Budget and then when it fail at box office everyone gone flat and declared hit the overall figure is 105-crores how this could be?
JTHJ is a crap with some exposing both actress and useless kissing scene and some cheap dialogue tum Kamsurta padhke badi huii ho?
salman is the best and no one beats him……………………….?hate srk hate srk…..”
heroes dont count zeroes enjoy #jthj
@srk haters What about the number of like and share in utube, there is no involvement of screen and competition there, and i even tell u that the trailor and song (challa) break all the record worldwide.
So he is a huge great star don’t compare it with other lallu’s.
In last few year he has grown like rajnikant of hollywood. Movies like my name is khan collected 210+ crore in overseas. Jab tak hai jaan even beat all hollywood flicks in area like new york and many more.
So it’s my salute to a star whose movies are celebrated like a festival not in india but across the whole universe.
Love u SRK
@naren shah. completely agree with u.
TO ALL SRK FANS.DEAR STILL THE FILM IS RUNNING PACKED HOUSES ALL OVER INDIA. SO WY PREDICT AND COMMENT
JUST WAIT TILL talaash releases. and than see the final figure.
@Noam : if i am a cook of my own stories then what
r u? A Master Chef?? Lol… Yeah Salman’s family does
not have money thats why SRK stayed at their
home n had food …. Saala SRK jisi thaali mein
Khaaya usse mein hi ched kiya… wake up SRK days
r going to be past….. I know u srk fans r jealous he cant do action movies, have u seen him doing a role
of Inspector? I agree salman movies stunts not real
Still people love it coz it suits him…. :p
@noam. well said bro. this guy called BLOCKBUSTER was behaving as though he was the one who was producing and directing SHER KHAN.
@blockbuster. dude as far as Ur Duckworth Lewis system goes. guess u have forgotten Rules. so I ll make u remember.
Dude DUCKWORTH SYSTEM IS ONLY APPLIED TO THE MATCH ONLY WHEN IT IS PLAYED . I WOULD SAY AGAIN. “THE MATCH SHOULD BE PLAYED”. HERE TO EVEN BEFORE THE MATCH STARTED U STARTED GIVING REASONS.
HA HA HA
So stop this crap BARKING DUDE.
@tanmay. ha ha. well said. This BLOCKBUSTER GIVING REASONS IS LIKE
“BIRYANI ABHI PAKI BHI NAHI BUT USSE PAHLE FAKIR KATORA LEKAR AAGAYE.”
@blockbuster. dude I have given u a solid reference. u r free to go and check. guess but u have the habit of cooking Ur own stories.
and as far SRK S days bein numbered. just wait and watch bro. JTHJ is still running to packed houses here in south. so only time ll tell.
and as far salman giving big hits. just by giving hits from couple of years no body becomes numero uno.
so if salman movies don’t have sensibility than u better not comment on THAT ASPECT.
Pehle apne andar jhank ke dekh and than comment.
guess TANMAY has given u one slap for Ur duckworth Lewis system. If that’s not enough TAKE ONE FROM ME.
@Noam. well said bro. this guy called BLOCKBUSTER WAS ACTING AS THOUGH HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS DIRECTING AND PRODUCING SHER KHAN
@blockbuster. As far as Ur duck worth Lewis system goes. guess u have forgotten few rules. so I ll make u remember. For a match to be decided by duckworth Lewis IT SHOULD BE PLAYED. I would repeat “IT SHOULD BE PLAYED.”UNDERSTOOD. Yahan To before the match itself u r giving reasons.
SO MY SINCERE ADVICE.
DON’T CRIB AND STOP BARKING.
@ noam : what a class u have shown by copying my words…. Lol n u call Salman’s movies r copied… We proudly accept these r remakes n Blockbusters… About matches won, u have forgot Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard n ETT compare to Ra.one, Don2 n JTHJ…. Now u go n look FOR collections n facts….
@Tanmay : toh apne Tan mein reh achcha hai, Noam ka chamchaa mat ban… I know SRK will won this year award not becoz he deserve it but he will BUY it yaar…. :P
one last question for both of u:
Why did YRF used ETT to book single screens for JTHJ??
Bcoz they were not confident About JTHJ movie n SRK current market value compare to Salman…. Shame on u cheap Cheaters… Afraid of Ajay n Sos, imagine what will be ur condition if it is Salman instead of Ajay Devgan….
If u include collections all Yashraj SRK movies did with ETT Salman has earned more n given to YRF….. Stop jealousy n accept JTHJ is a super hit n not a Blockbuster…
@blockbuster. ha ha. frustration written all over. calm down. what class.???? at least 10 times better than yours dude. any ways when u say about jthj remember it still being screened. so u can’t say about the end result.
Ok as u have started about the box office figures lets compare
READY . INDIA 128 CRORES PLUS OVER SEAS IS AROUND 50 CRORES =AROUND 170 CRORES
BODYGUARD INDIA 145 CRORES PLUS 50 CRORE= around 205 CROREs
RA 1 125 CRORES (INCLUDING REGIONAL VERSIONS.) PLUS NEARLY 100 CRORES AND STILL COUNTING = 225 CRORES
Don 2 112 (including regional versions.)plus 80 CROREs overseas =212 CROREs
now tell who s the winner.
I said u salman might be ruling the roost in India. but OVER SEAS HE IS NO MATCH TO KING SRK
As far as ETT is there we ll compare with JTHJ after Hus final verdict.
@blockbuster. and as far Ur market value question goes. every one takes OVERSEAS PICTURE AS WELL. SO THAT ANSWERS UR QUESTION OR
OR SHOULD I TELL U THE BOX OFFICE NUMBERS.
LOOSERS
@blockbuster. sorry and one more thing. SALMAN S BODYGUARD AND DABBANGs over seas boxoffice collection is less than VEER ZAARA which was released 8 year s back. so that explains and shows the SO CALLED MARKET VALUE OF SALMAN.
AND PLZ PLZ DON’T COOK UR OWN STORIES.
don’t judge any movie with the revenue earned.
i have seen people shouting like anything for becoming 2nd biggest grosser after 3 idiots.
DDLJ (20 October 1995) – longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema. As of 2012, it is still playing at the Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai.
It was one of two Hindi films in the “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die” list along with Mother India.
This was also the second film to win the four major awards (Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress) after Black (2005).
People still remember…………………………..
Now compare Ek tha Tiger with DDLJ.
if u all are shouting like anything for becoming 2nd biggest grosser after 3 idiots, we are just relaxing to become longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema.
jab tak hai jaan will not even have chance to break akshay rowdy rathore of 137 crore
forget about massive 3 idiots and ek tha tiger record
Salman to bachcha hai…abhi josh me hai to thodi bahot gulatiya marega…fir gir jayega apne baap SRK ke kadmo me…kyuki aisi gulatiya to pehle big b, akshay, aur na jane kitne kha chuke hai…par fir bhi itne saalo tak king kon bana betha hai…? SRK hi na….ha ha ha
