Jackpot is a 2013 Hindi comedy thriller directed by Kaizad Gustad starring Sunny Leone, Naseeruddin Shah and Sachiin J Joshi. The film released on 13 December 2013 with 1150 screens release in India. The movie was declared a flop both critically as well as commercially by Box Office India, with total earnings of just ₹50 million (US$740,000).
Francis (Sachiin J Joshi) packs in the muscle and has a can of beer always close at hand. He is also street-smart enough to impress Maya (Sunny Leone), the oomphy voice of reason in the movie. Boss Man (Naseeruddin Shah) is a veteran raver whose clothes are as colorful as his principles and punchlines. Slow in speech but quick to draw a six-shooter, he owns the Jackpot casino.
The majority of the shooting for the film was completed in Goa. Kaizad Gustad shot the film in 27 days.
The soundtrack has 9 tracks. Sharib & Toshi, Mika, Remo Fernandes, Gods Robots (Shridevi Keshavan & Janaka Atugoda), Rishi Rich, Juno Reactor, Rahul Bhatt, Jaaved Jaaferi and Itek Bhutani composed one song each.

Censor Board axed the rap song 'Eggjactly' from the film as it was a bit vulgar, though the video of the song was released online. The premiere of Jackpot was held at PVR Cinemas in Juhu, Mumbai, on 12 December 2013 to which Shahrukh Khan, Urvashi Sharma and other celebrities came. Sunny Leone promoted the film in various cities like Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Bangalore (Inorbit Mall). Sunny Leone and Sachin also promoted the film on the shows 'Bigg Boss 7' and 'Comedy Circus Ke Mahabali'.
Jackpot grossed ₹10 million (US$150,000) on day one. It grossed ₹34.5 million (US$510,000) on domestic box office in its first weekend. The film had a poor first week collection of ₹45 million (US$670,000).
The movie was universally panned by most film critics. However, some critics gave slightly positive reviews.
