As Jaat releases on April 10, the release comes amid a spate of films underperforming at the box office including Sikandar, with Vicky Kaushal\u2019s Chhaava as the only blockbuster of the year till now. The film has earned Rs 1.18 crore in advance booking till 6 pm on April 9, as per Sacnilk. The film is expected to open well as Sunny Deol\u2019s films get lot of walk-ins.<\/p>\n

Salman Khan<\/a>\u2019s Sikandar\u2019s failure has been an eye-opener for many. Recently, Ajay Devgn also shared that all film industries are going through a bad time. Now with a new release, will Sunny Deol<\/a> wake Bollywood from its slumber? Film exhibitor Akkshay Rathie says, \u201cSunny Deol is truly one of the bona-fide stars of good old times. He has stardom which is built over decades. He has an insane popularity that cuts across the length and breadth of the country. It\u2019s just a question of films being made that are appropriate for him and showcase his strengths. He still has a huge loyal mass audience that will turn up at the cinemas for him. We saw that with Gadar 2, and who knows, it might happen with Jaat or Lahore 1947, it\u2019s just about getting the content right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trade analyst Komal Nahta also said, \u201cSunny Deol had a bad patch, but after Gadar 2, he is at the top of his game once again. He made a phenomenal comeback, one that you can dream of; he experienced that. He is loved by the audience.\u201d Trade expert Joginder Tuteja added, \u201cHe is someone who is still relevant after more than 4 decades. No one from his generation is acting as a hero in a movie, they have moved to character roles or ensembles. No one can take that away from him. He is also the fittest of them all; being 67, he looks quite well.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Sunny did have his share of a bad releases, Gadar 2 did prove to be quite a game-changer for him. Sunny returns with Jaat, which is also his first pan-India film. Talking about Sunny\u2019s Gadar 2 being successful, trade expert Joginder Tuteja says, \u201cThe fact is that Gadar 2 primarily worked because of the nostalgia for the franchise. The film\u2019s trailer was very well cut. It was a clear-cut sequel, not just made for the heck of it, which is why it worked and brought Sunny Deol back on the radar.\u201d<\/p>\n
