Advance booking for the film started a week ahead of its theatrical debut, and the response is magically all over.

Since the start of Jawan Advance booking, approximately 426,171 tickets have been sold across India, 3 days are still left. This impressive number sets the stage for ‘Jawan’ to break advance booking and opening day records. The film is expected to surpass the records set by previous blockbusters like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Gadar 2.’
Record-Breaking Overseas Advance Booking
One of the most striking aspects of ‘Jawan’s’ pre-release buzz is its overseas advance booking. In the United States, over 26,000 tickets worth $400,000 have already been sold.

The film’s buzz is not limited to the Hindi-speaking audience. ‘Jawan’ has generated significant excitement among South Indian fans as well.
