Pathaan broke all the records of Bollywood history. Shah Rukh Khan, the Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer is a rage among the audience after.
Last year, when Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 was being lapped up by the audience, everyone was quick to rule out Bollywood. Now, with the release of Pathaan Shah Rukh Khan not only reclaimed the throne of the most popular Indian star but also breathed life into the Hindi film industry.
The SRK starrer Pathaan has emerged as the first blockbuster of 2023 with over Rs 400 crore collections for the Hindi version in India. Overseas too, it is doing tremendous business.
The film collected Rs 8 crore at the box office on Mondays in India for the Hindi version. The dip was expected due to the weekday and since the ticket prices have been slashed, the numbers were expected to fall.
The total 13-day business of the film now stands at Rs 420 crore, which is a first for an original Hindi title. Pathaan will become the second highest-grossing film in India on Wednesday as it crosses the numbers of KGF 2. The only film it will then trail is Prabhas’ Baahubali: The Conclusion.
