Sunny Deol’s new action film, Jaat, directed by Gopichand Malineni, has registered a good response at the box office, although it has received mixed reactions from critics. Here is all about Sunny Deol’s Jaat movie review & Box Office Collection.
Box Office Performance
Jaat opened to a collection of ₹9.5 crore on day one. The film, however, suffered a slump on the second day, collecting ₹7 crore, thanks partly to a cut of around 400 shows all over India. Nevertheless, the film picked up pace over the weekend, collecting ₹14 crore on Sunday, taking its four-day collection to ₹40.25 crore, becoming Sunny Deol’s fourth-highest grosser so far.

On the fifth day, the film continued a consistent performance, earning between ₹6 and ₹7 crore.
Critical Reception
The critics have presented diverse views regarding Jaat. Taran Adarsh acclaimed the movie as a “full-on mass entertainer,” appreciating Sunny Deol’s authoritative presence, effective dialogues, and gripping action sequences. He characterized it as an ode to the classical masala movies missing in recent Hindi cinema.
On the other hand, Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express faulted the film as too violent and disconnected in its storytelling, insinuating that the brutality of the film overpowered its plot. Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV also found the constant action of the film dull, recommending that only true Sunny Deol enthusiasts would be able to enjoy it.
On a more level note, Times of India’s Archika Khurana recognized the film’s nostalgic value and robust performances but observed that it never provided innovation or depth. Jagran praised the film for its criticism of system corruption and emotional narrative, suggesting it to mass cinema fans.
Conclusion
Jaat is a testament to the long-lasting popularity of Sunny Deol in action films. Although it might not appeal to everyone because of its high level of violence and conventional narrative, it manages to satisfy the audience of traditional Bollywood action dramas. Its performance at the box office indicates a high level of identification with its intended audience, making it a part of the contemporary film scene.
