Sunny Deol starrer Jaat hit the big screens on April 10. Despite the positive word of mouth by cine-goers, the film has been registering low footfalls at the box office. Amid a lukewarm reception for the movie, a social media post now gone viral shows a man watching the film’s leaked version on his mobile phone.
Jaat opened to a decent ₹ 9.5 Cr on day 1. However, the Sunny Deol starrer witnessed a dip in business on the following day. The movie has been moving at a snail’s pace at the box office over the weekend. Amid this, media reports suggest that over 400 shows of the film have been cancelled in cities like Delhi and Mumbai due to low occupancy.
