STRONG WORLDWIDE NUMBERS

With a worldwide collection of Rs 106 crore, Pathaan also holds the record for the biggest opening day for a Hindi film. photo: yrf [{ "selector": ".wegwj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".gfrte-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".kwafq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 482px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

second day collections

With Pathaan's second day being the Republic Day holiday (Jan 26), the film succeeded at drawing in Rs 73 crore at the domestic box office. photo: yrf [{ "selector": ".rdgjx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".exgcl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".bpquc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 483px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

predictions for friday

It's expected that the third day (Jan 27) will make Pathaan gross Rs 150 crore domestically. The weekend's performance can probably make it enter the 200 cr club. photo: yrf [{ "selector": ".joupf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".zdqnf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".kwugc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 481px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

PATHAAN TOTAL COLLECTION

Including both the domestic and global numbers, the Rs 250 crore budget action film has gained a worldwide collection of Rs 204 crore (and still counting). photo: yrf [{ "selector": ".rupgf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".jgzgf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".prszm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 479px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

ADVANCE BOOKING RECORD

Even before its release, Pathaan gained over 4.19 lakh advance bookings, breaking War's record of 4.10 lakh bookings. PHOTO: yrf [{ "selector": ".cesil-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".gwzqa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".enpmu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 489px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

SRK'S BIGGEST OPENER

Even though Chennai Express is SRK's highest-grossing film (Rs 227 crore), Pathaan is on its way to breaking this record. It is already Khan's biggest opener to date. PHOTO: yrf [{ "selector": ".jbera-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 439px))", "opacity": "60%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "60%"} ] }, { "selector": ".iurzg-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 454px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".dzzpw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 479px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

WHAT MAKES PATHAAN SUCCESSFUL?

SRK's own star image, and the promotion around his comeback after four years worked in Pathaan's favour. Even the calls to boycott only promoted it further.

A WIN FOR THE SPYVERSE

Salman Khan's cameo as Tiger also played a major role in catering to Salman fans. Pathaan's success proves the marketability of Yash Raj Films's Spyverse.
