On Thursday, Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was unveiled amid a flurry of fireworks, dancing, drumbeats, and whistles. While crowds flocked to theatres throughout the nation to see Jawan, the much anticipated action movie succumbed to piracy. Soon after its debut, Jawan was leaked online; as a result, it is currently free to download on applications like Telegram and pirate websites.
Fans of Shah Rukh Khan are miffed that Jawan can be watched in mediocre quality on a number of websites. Some people were concerned that the film’s leak might harm its box office success. Fan tweeted, “Shah Rukh Khan, it’s too bad. Someone leaked your new movie Jawan today. I think it’s too bad for collection and record, so please do something. Jawan movie available in internet.”
Anurag Thakur, the federal minister for information and broadcasting, and Shah Rukh Khan were both mentioned in a tweet (X) that read, “Which law have you made? Right now no one is following that law. Jawan has been released today, and after some time it has been leaked online. The film industry suffers huge losses due to movies being leaked online.”
On its first weekend, Jawan is predicted to have a strong box office performance. According to preliminary projections, Jawan might make $75 million net in India across all languages, according to a study by Sacnilk.com. According to the estimate, Jawan is predicted to earn 65 crore net in its first day of domestic release in Hindi. The Telugu version of the movie is also anticipated to gross 5 crore nett on Thursday, in addition to the Tamil version.
The hashtag “boycott Jawan” was trending on Twitter or X on Wednesday, with some asking for the boycott of the movie since Red Giant Movies, which distributes it in Tamil Nadu, is responsible for its distribution. Udhayanidhi Stalin, a Tamil Nadu politician who recently made remarks critical of Sanatan Dharma, is the owner of the firm.
Along with Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone makes a special cameo in Jawan along with Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, and Sunil Grover. Jawan is a Red Chillies Entertainment production under Atlee Kumar’s direction. Anirudh Ravichander is the composer of the Jawan soundtrack.
