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.

OVERALL COLLECTION WILL NOT CROSS TO READY 128-CRORES.
Monday 5.25 crore and Tuesday 4.5 crore only Indicates that the film is going to crash in the second week and will not sustain at three week. It is not likely to break the record of Agneepath as well, let alone 3 Idiots and ETT
@NAOM: u really need to know a lot about bollywood, firstly SHER KHAN is prouced by SOHAIL KHAN not ARBAAZ secondly SHER KHAN is postponed not shelved & it is postponed because SALMAN wants a tiger as trained as the one in LIFE oF PI
Noam. . Y u taking help of indi cine to reply me back. . Get logical ans dude. . And abt slap u just look out whole conversation also read ma last comment to indi cine. . U will realize who got the slap . . Okay . . I asked yu in wch city in south runnin packed house. . U ans dat first . .
well guys…
first the the basic plot of JTHJ has been copied from The End of an affair
2ndly it ll never cross or rather reach close to ETT or even bodyguard
i dont know why people are still blaming on screen counts of JTHJ… if film has to do well, that no of screens is sufficient.. look at the weekdays collection of barfi, oh my god etc… they had half of screens of JTHJ and still collected better… the poor collection of weekdays of JTHJ just proves that it has been rejected… srk is no more king.. his super ambitious project ra1 took almost 2 yrs to complete and till that time, salman’s career rose from main or mrs khanna to ek tha tiger… today salman is the king and everyone must admit it..

Lord of the Kingsss…salman khan ruless!!!!!!!!!!!

swagat nahi karoge hamara :D….
evry SRK fan go and wath JTHJ on cming Sunday….commenting here alone not going to help….I’ve booked my tickets
why is India the only country in the world that thinks about their box office totals?, In the UK or US, the films are judged on World Wide Box Office totals and thats FINAL. For example – AVATAR made over £700mill in US and £2billion overseas and is regarded as the highest grossing film of all time as things stand!!Any films releasing now in the US can easiliy top the £700mill mark but to get that kind of figures from foreign market is a next story? When are India going to come out of their shell and look at the biggest picture. why are people here getting all worked up for?
@naom@tanmay@priyadarshan girase@…u hv already recieved some Punches from our salman khan…nd lot of Slaps nd Chapples from Audience who hv watched ur so called romantic movie..
@ KAM, I am publishinh highest world wide grossing from BOI site, Dabangg 2 will rock the chart.

GOOD NEWS TO SRK FANS NEXT RELEASE OF CHENNAI EXPRESS IN 4 MONTHS….
all the srk fans,plz don’t compare srk with salman.Salman is megastar now and srk is only star.it will be now foolishness to debate on JTHJ was release in 25-26 hundred screens and ek tha tiger on this much that much screens.The real winner is salman bhai.JTHJ even couldnot beat bodyguard and other salman bhai’s previous movies opening day record which had less no of screens compare to JTHJ.srk fans are saying that IMDB has given 8.4 for JTHJ and 5.4 for ETT but I want to say only one thing ,IMDB is not the accurate measure to show that this movie is good and this movie is bad.I have seen lots of movies in IMDB which are rated good but when I watched it I was found to be absolutely worthless.and about kissing scene,I think srk has done that not as per the demand of story but to make salman jealous because everyone has seen how srk behaved with kartrina while promoting this movies in KBC,and other reality shows.He was using katrina in such a way that which will definitely make salman angry and jaelous.So he is trying to make salman bhai jaelous by doing such things as it has now become impossible for srk to beat salman.And also previously srk used to be on limelight because of his movies but now he is popular because of controversies whereas previously salman bhai was popular because of controversies and now he is because of his record breaking movies.So who is king?
@ Nisha, Its nice and warming that you are trying to sell your idol’s film. Ameen.
We RGV fans didn’t care about BO collections.
We dont mind that people not watched our films like Aag & Bhoot 2 in theaters thats why these films not collected money at BO.
But why we care about BO collections…?
After all these films are MASTERPIECE FILMS.
We dont care about BO.
