The film’s opening day collection was 19.09% higher than Shah Rukh Khan’s smash hit Pathaan. Taran Adarsh wrote in his X (earlier called Twitter) post, “Jawan is sensational…Creates history…Jawan hits the ball out of the stadium, Shatters all previous records… Biggest opener [Hindi films] in India. Day 1 biz…Jawan: Rs 65.50 cr [19.09% HIGHER than #Pathaan]”.

Jawan managed to impress the audience and critics alike. The film opened to commendable reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film a 3.5 star rating in his review for NDTV and he wrote, “Jawan hits the bull’s eye both as a movie that is out to entertain and a vehicle that demonstrates the power of a superstar endowed with a voice that is anything but ordinary. Jawan manifests itself as much on the screen as it does outside its fictive confines”.
