Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan made an explosive comeback to the big screen after five years with Pathaan. The film, also starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, turned out to be a major commercial success, grossing over a thousand crores at the box office. SRK has now come up with another action thriller Jawan which releases in theatres today, on September 7th.
Jawan Twitter reactions
The star power of King Khan is such that many theatres across the nation have allotted 6 a.m. morning shows for Jawan. Several people and fan clubs took to X (previously Twitter) to share pictures and videos from these morning shows where fans were seen celebrating Jawan’s release. One user called it a “full paisa vasool movie”, while another user wrote: “Never seen this kind of craze before Jawan.”
They also shared a clip from a theatre where people are rushing into the first-morning show. A user named Baba Yaga shared a picture from Kolkata where huge life-size posters of SRK are placed and garlanded outside the theatre. There were also videos of people bursting crackers outside the theatre to celebrate Jawan’s release. These videos are from different parts of India like Mumbai’s Gaiety-Galaxy and Nandyala in Andhra Pradesh.
