Sunny Deol’s action-packed film Jaat has seen a significant decline in its box office earnings as it enters its third week in theaters. The movie, which initially performed well, has now dropped to lakhs in daily collections, signaling a slowdown in audience interest.

On its 16th day, Jaat earned approximately ₹85 lakh, marking a noticeable drop from its previous day's earnings. The film has so far accumulated ₹81.6 crore net in India, with a worldwide gross of ₹109 crore.

Despite a strong opening week, the film faced stiff competition from Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 and Emraan Hashmi’s Ground Zero, leading to a sharp decline in ticket sales during its second week. The number of daily screenings has also decreased, reflecting reduced occupancy levels in theaters.

Industry analysts suggest that Jaat could still cross ₹90 crore in lifetime collections, though hitting ₹100 crore domestically remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Sunny Deol has confirmed a sequel, Jaat 2, with director Gopichand Malineni expected to helm the project.
