Japan wasn’t that big territory over the years, but the picture was totally changed when SS Rajamouli’s RRR was released there. Before RRR was released, Rajinikanth’s Muthu was the highest-grossing Indian film there, with a collection of 23.50 crores. The SS Rajamouli directorial was released in 2022 and unleashed the market’s true potential by amassing over a whopping 150 crores.

After RRR’s tremendous success, there is excitement about Indian releases in Japan, and Jawan has all eyes locked on it. During the first weekend (November 31 to December 1), the Shah Rukh Khan amassed 93 lakh at the box office, which is a strong start. It left behind Shah Rukh’s own Pathaan (82 lakh).
