Morning Shows:
As per the early reports by Box Office India, the movie has taken a decent opening at the box office.

Here the movie has taken the second best of the year after Bahubali – The Conclusion.
In other major cities, the opening is less than Raees and Tubelight. This was expected as it is an urban-centric movie. Such movies largely depend on the word of mouth and content.Jab Harry Met Sejal has been released on around 3300 screens which are even less than Shah Rukh Khan’s last release Raees (3400). Despite clash Raees with Kaabil, Raees was released on huge screen count but Red Chillies has played safe this time.
