Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan—already a massive hit with ₹1,165 crore in worldwide earnings—is now set to dominate a new market: Japan. With its upcoming release on November 29, 2024, SRK and his team are rallying Japanese fans, aiming to take the film’s box office earnings to new heights.
The excitement around Jawan‘s Japan debut is palpable, especially after SRK shared an exclusive Japanese-language poster on social media to hype the film’s release. The movie will be distributed by Twin, a leading distributor of Indian cinema in Japan, marking a significant moment for Bollywood’s reach in the country.
Exclusive Pre-Booking Offers for Fans in Japan
To drive enthusiasm, advanced bookings for Jawan started as early as July 5, 2024. Fans who pre-book their tickets will receive special edition posters featuring Shah Rukh Khan from the hit song “Chaleya,” adding an extra incentive to secure seats early.
The Race to Beat Baahubali 2 and Dangal
As Jawan enters one of Asia’s most lucrative cinema markets, industry insiders are speculating whether the film could close in on the top-grossing Indian films of all time—Baahubali 2 (₹2,000 crore) and Dangal (₹1,700 crore). With further releases planned in markets like China, SRK could be on track to deliver Indian cinema’s highest global earner.
Bollywood’s Growing Popularity in Japan
Indian films have long captivated Japanese audiences, with hits like Muthu, RRR, Baahubali 2, Dangal, and 3 Idiots paving the way. If Jawan mirrors their success, it could cement SRK’s place as the global king of Bollywood and bring Jawan into the top tier of Indian cinema worldwide.
