Amid Jawan's Blockbuster Opening, Netizens Trend Adipurush On X, Say 'Prabhas-Starrer Still Holds Biggest Day 1 BO Record'

‘Jawan’ hit the theatres on September 7, 2023. The movie had a terrific day 1 opening as it broke several records at the box office. 'Jawan' has had the biggest opening ever seen by a Hindi movie. Shah Rukh Khan previously held this record as well, with 'Pathaan' earning Rs 57 crore on its first day of release. 'Gadar 2' formerly held the second position on this list after earning Rs 40.10 crore, however it has now moved up to the third position.

Soon after Jawan’s box office numbers were out, netizens took to X, previously known as Twitter, and started a debate, claiming that not ‘Jawan’, but ‘Adipurush’ holds the record of biggest opening. Check reactions here:
