Bollywood film, Jaat starring Sunny Deol released recently amid good hype. The film received okayish word of mouth and likewise, continued a normal run. Jaat collected nearly 82 crores Nett in India, with Gross close to 100 crores and Overseas numbers at 12 crores. The Total worldwide gross stood at 112 crores till yesterday, and the film will likely close around 120 crores gross as well.
These numbers are very good for a Senior Actor like Sunny Deol but the film couldn’t repeat the magical performance as his previous film, Gadar 2 which grossed more than 600 crores worldwide. Jaat had to settle with an average status, for the budget makers had spent. The film really worked for the target audience but didn’t go to the expected range.
The main reason for this will be the lack of promotional activity and the second reason is that Jaat was not released in Telugu. Many opined that the film resembled a pure Telugu commercial film, and it could have added some more numbers if it had been promoted well. Jaat may have seen the Hit status if this had been done.
Director Gopichand Malineni should have taken care in this regard. The film is his Bollywood debut and he should be the first guy to consider these. Anyways, the team has already announced that Jaat 2 will happen, and they now hope for Jaat to work big on OTT in all the languages.
