• The film stars SRK, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles.
• Pathaan is breaking records ever since its release on Wednesday.
• It has collected around ₹70 crore on its second day, which happened to be a Republic Day holiday.

Ever since its Wednesday release, Pathaan has been setting records. The Hindi version of the Siddharth Anand-directed film went on to earn almost 70 crore on its second day, which also happened to be a holiday because it had the highest Bollywood opening. Along with Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia playing crucial roles, the movie stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham as the key roles. The movie also has a cameo from Salman Khan.

Pathaan became the highest-grossing Bollywood opening film in history on Wednesday with domestic sales of 57. On day 2, which was Thursday and a holiday for Republic Day, it eventually surpassed 100 crore. It goes without saying that the movie’s second-day earnings were the biggest for a Bollywood production.

Pathaan made at least 70 crore in the Hindi language, and the final figures may be higher, said Boxofficeindia.com. This would bring its two-day earnings to about 127 crore. According to the article, “There is no movie that has even come close to 70 crore nett, with the 50 crore nett milestone being broken a few times on the first day.”

Taran Adarsh, a film industry expert, published the day 2 box office totals at three significant national chains on Thursday night, including INOX, Cinepolis, and PVR. “#Pathaan at *national chains*,” he tweeted. Day 2… 10.10 p.m. update PVR: 13.75 million; INOX: 11.65 million; Cinepolis: 6.20 million 31.60 crore UNSTOPPABLE is the total. The total revenue for #Pathaan on Day 1 at national chains was $27.08 cr.

“Pathaan is your true-blue commercial, masala entertainer that’s not aiming to bring across any message or be a social reflection on the current condition of events in the country,” the Hindustan Times’ review of the movie stated. It’s great, carefree, and enjoyable all at once.

To accommodate the enormous demand across the nation as soon as the movie opened on Wednesday, midnight showings were also added. The movie premiered on 8000 screens worldwide, including 2500 screens offshore. In the upcoming weekend, it might continue to set a lot more new records.
