'What is wrong...': Anna Hazare breaks silence on Sonam Wangchuk's protest, makes an appeal to Centre
Jawan fever has gripped the nation and how. On Friday evening, Shah Rukh Khan responded to several fan clubs' posts across different cities. The film earned over Rs 1 billion on the first day itself making it the highest-grossing Hindi film on the first day ever.
He expressed his gratitude and love for this tremendous response to Jawan.
Trade pundits have predicted that Jawan is likely to surpass the earnings of Pathaan which is so far the highest-grossing film of the year.
Jawan has received mostly positive reviews.
WION's Shomini Sen in her review called the film a quintessential Bollywood blockbuster.
"Pathaan reiterated SRK's liberal stance and Jawaan brings forth the feminist side of the actor. Khan has been a vocal ally for women's empowerment for years. In Jawan, sure he plays a mentor of sorts to a bunch of wronged women, but the film celebrates strong women and their might to fight it out. All the female characters are projected as strong women who can take on a goon or two on their own and yet be maternal and soft when the time arises," writes Sen in herreview.
