Box office: Pathaan on a record breaking spree in all territories

Friday, November 15, 2024

Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan seems to have reinstated his position as the biggest box office star in India with his latest offering Pathaan. The Siddharth Anand directional is creating havoc at the ticket windows across the globe after its humongous release on January 25th. 

Putting an end to all inhibitions that made way due to the malicious boycott trend, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer embarked on a spectacular note at the box office with close to 220 Crores gross worldwide in two days. This is a historical feat as no other direct Hindi film managed to score back-to-back 100 Crores gross on the first two days of release. The previous highest for an opening weekend belonged to Salman Khan’s Sultan which punched out 210 Crores. Pathaan smashed this record in just two days. Trade experts predict that Pathaan is poised to emerge as the biggest Bollywood hit of all time and also emerge as one of the highest-grossing Indian films across all languages. 

Pathaan braved a lot of negative campaigns before its release and took a sensational opening with 105 Crores gross worldwide on its first day. This is a quite unexpected and mind-blowing feat as it was a working day. This is the biggest opening for a Bollywood film and the sixth-highest opening for an Indian film after RRR, Baahubali 2, KGF 2, Saaho, and 2.0. 

Taking advantage of the republic day holiday, Pathaan went on a bigger rampage at the box office on its second day with a historical haul of 115 Crores gross. This is simply outstanding and unimaginable for a straight Bollywood film in recent times. 

In North America, Pathaan kickstarted its box office journey with a staggering $ 2.5 Million gross in just two days. The film scored two more than $ 1million gross on Wednesday and Thursday. It collected $ 1.5 Million on opening day and followed it up with $ 1 Million on Thursday. The weekend is going to be even bigger as the film is on track to shatter more records by the end of Sunday due to the unanimous reviews and positive word of mouth. 

Pathaan is all set to rewrite numerous records in the coming days as the film is witnessing phenomenal advance sales for the next three days. It is poised to emerge as the biggest-ever blockbuster in Shah Rukh’s career by surpassing the lifetime collections of Chennai Express in less than a week. Needless to say, Shah Rukh has revived Bollywood in style and send a very strong reply to the naysayers who are trending ‘Boycott Bollywood’.
