Pathaan Day 3 Box Office Collection: Earns 161 cr. In India; On Pace To Become The Highest-Grossing Indian Film In The World

Pathaan continues to exceed expectations and flies at the box office. The Shah Rukh Khan-starring movie's Hindi version brought in 37.5 cr. nett in India on Friday, a 45 percent decrease from the previous day, which was a national holiday due to Republic Day. Nevertheless, despite this reduction, Pathaan's overall domestic earnings during its first three days are still between 160 and 161 cr. nett. The action movie is directed by Siddharth Anand. It also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana in major roles. The movie was released in theatres on January 25.

According to a previous Hindustan Times article, Pathaan's domestic box office receipts on Saturday and Sunday may reach 40 cr. and 50 cr., respectively. Shah Rukh's Pathaan is not only breaking domestic box office records but also breaking international ones. Pathaan is apparently on track to surpass the highest-grossing Indian film ever made in the globe in its original format or a single language after earning 106 cr. globally on its opening day, according to a recent report. According to the production company Yash Raj Films, Pathaan made 200 cr. in its first two days of release. Pathaan garnered 37.50 crore nett on Friday, according to Box Office India, adding that Pathaan in Hindi is hoping to go "where no film Indian film has ever gone" with their original format. According to a recent Box Office India report, “Dangal is the biggest this way with ₹702 cr. gross worldwide, while if we take single language than Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Hindi) did ₹800 cr. and going by the overseas numbers and just take a minimum ₹400 cr. nett in India, which Pathaan will cruise to, it will surpass the numbers of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”. Pathaan was made available in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. Before Pathaan was released, trade expert Taran Adarsh had told PTI that the film will revive Bollywood and bring in a wonderful 2023 for the motion picture industry. Before Pathaan's release, he said, “The film is going to take a historic start at the box office with opening day collections of ₹45-50 cr. The box office revival will begin with Pathaan, especially looking at its advance booking, which is very rare. It is a great start to 2023 despite being a working day.”
