Pathaan has not yet lost its charm as the movie is celebrating completion of its 50 days at the box office. Ever since the film was released on January 25, it has been minting good money at the ticket windows, and the collections haven’t stopped even as the overall numbers stand at over Rs 540 crore now.

What’s noteworthy is that Pathaan is still attracting the audience to theatres even after 50 days. Nevertheless it has obviously slowed down now after the release of many films at the box office.

The movie is a blockbuster success at the box office, despite running in theatres for more than a month. According to early trade reports, Pathaan earned around Rs 25 lakh on Day 50 of its run. It had an overall 7.86 per cent Hindi occupancy on March 15.

Written and directed by Siddharth Anand and bankrolled by Yash Raj Films, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham came together for the first time in Pathaan. It is the fourth installment in the YRF Spy Universe.

The film also saw Salman Khan playing an explosive cameo. Shah Rukh Khan is seen as Pathaan, a RAW field agent, in the film. John Abraham plays the antagonist, while Salman Khan reprises his role as Tiger from the Tiger franchise he is getting all the love and appreciation from the audience.
