Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer ‘Pathaan’ has caused a rampage at the box office. After entering the coveted 100 crore club on day one at the worldwide box office, the film has doubled its numbers on the second day!
The film is on a record-breaking spree overseas and has raked in around $3.50-$3.75 million overseas on January 26, taking its two day total to around $8 million. ‘Pathaan’ scored around Rs 70 crore at the domestic box office on its second day and these numbers suggest that the Hindi version of the film has earned around Rs 112 crore on second day, reports Boxofficeindia. With this whopping collection, the worldwide gross collection of ‘Pathaan’ (Hindi) stands at a whopping Rs 215 crore and when regional language figures are added, the film is expected to have raked in over Rs 220 crore!
‘Pathaan’ has been doing very good business in almost all the circuits expected for East Punjan and CI. Also, the film did minimal business in the South too. While the holiday period is over, ‘Pathaan’ collection is expected to see a drop on Friday, but it will regain momentum over the weekend. ‘Pathaan’ is expected to score a very strong figure at the end of its five day extended weekend.
In North America, the action film has made over $1.5 million and the numbers in the Gulf also match those in the US and Canada combined. The Hindi film has easily crossed ₹100 crore in its first day itself. It remains to be seen how many more records Pathaan can break going into the extended holiday weekend with the Republic Day holiday as well.
The Hindustan Times review of the film stated, “Pathaan is your true-blue commercial, masala entertainer that’s not trying to send across any message or be a social commentary on the current state of affairs in the country. It’s fun, non-fussy and fantastic at the same time. Go watch it for Shah Rukh Khan and you would only come back with a smile, and maybe grooving a bit. Don’t miss the scene just before end credits for it’s not everyday you see two superstars in a banter about their stardom.”
