Past: Vikram was a commando in the Indian Army, who set out on a operation to hunt down the terrorist group responsible for attacking and killing 40 Indian soldiers, along with holding civilians captive. Vikram and his team took down the terrorists, but not without heavy casualities. Vikram noticed that their weapons were faulty and filed a complaint against Kaalie, who was the supplier of the weapons, but Kaalie tried to unsuccessfully cut a deal with Vikram. That same night, Vikram and his wife, Aishwarya, were attacked at home by Kaalie and his henchmen. Kaalie took Vikram onboard a plane and shot him to death, while Aishwarya was sentenced to prison for killing three cops who were on Kaalie's payroll. Afterwards, Vikram was declared a national traitor. Aishwarya later gave birth to their child Azad in the prison. Many years later, Aishwarya revealed her past to Azad and asked him to prove Vikram's innocence and provide justice to the oppressed, before she was later sentenced to death. Unbeknownst to the world, Vikram survived the attack and lost his memory, where he was rescued by a North East Indian tribe and rehabilitated at their village. 30 years later, Vikram partially recovered his memory, soon learning that Azad was alive and set out to find him.

Critical response

Jawan received positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Jawan has an approval rating of 93% from 14 reviews, with an average score of 7.4/10.
Awarding the film 4 stars out of 5, Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com commended Jawan's political storytelling, writing that it "boldly and directly points fingers at the ineffective government and appeals to recognise the power of the finger and vote". The Indian Express's Shubhra Gupta wrote that the film delivered a timely political message despite being "fashioned as an unabashed massy entertainer". Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times termed it a "massy, meaningful actioner". Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in believed that the film worked primarily due to Khan, writing that his "screen image – expansive, suffused with love, heroic in an old-fashioned way without being aggressively macho, irreverent but also sincere – helps sell a conceit that might have crashed with any other actor". India Today's Tushar Joshi believed that Khan's performance and Atlee's direction had improved upon a typical, Robin Hood-esque story.
Sonil Dedhia of News18 labelled it a masala film, adding that it is an "ambitious vigilante action thriller that plays to the gallery and lives up to the hype. Far-fetched in writing but high on star power and style". Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India believed that Jawan had more of a story and purpose than Khan's previous release Pathaan. Trade journalist Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama awarded the film 4.5 stars and praised its "superlative performances, thrilling and clap worthy moments, larger-than-life action sequences and a never-before-seen avatar of Shah Rukh Khan". Devesh Sharma of Filmfare noted that the action choreography was "on par with any high grade Hollywood film". Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and concluded, "Packed with all the ingredients that you would expect in a high-octane action film, Jawan is a strikingly meta vehicle in which a star communicates directly with his fan base and holds forth on themes that are crying out to be addressed.

Internationally, Mike McCahill of The Guardian commended Khan's star power and opined, "Jawan covers a lot of ground in surprising fashion at full throttle – but that's also a polite way of admitting it's utterly all over the place. Mint Lounge's Uday Bhatia termed Jawan a "chaotic mess", writing that the film's story did not cohere despite Khan's best efforts. Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News wrote "Vigilante films that aim to shatter the establishment can be a bit exhausting, but when the clean-up is spearheaded by swagger-powered leads like Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara, the film gets a major shot in the arm".
In late 2019, it was rumoured that Shah Rukh Khan would team up with Tamil film director Atlee. Atlee confirmed the project while promoting Bigil. In May 2021, it was reported that the filming would commence soon. The film is produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment, while Gaurav Verma serves as a co-producer.
