Pathaan’s box office collections prove that the charisma and aura Shah Rukh Khan has on-screen are unmatchable. Returning to the screens after four years, his fans have showered him with all the love and their wait to watch the biggest star back again on the silver screens came true. Since its release, the Siddharth Annand directed film has been unstoppable and left no space for any other films to run.
Following a successful first week, the film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham in leading parts continues to maintain steady. On its second Wednesday in Hindi at the domestic box office, the movie which debuted on January 25, brought in about 17–17.50 crore nett. The second Wednesday's earnings bring the film's total to almost 348.50 net crores, putting it on track to surpass 350 crores at the domestic box office in Hindi. Given the lack of major releases over the next two weeks, it is anticipated to keep up its strong performance.
According to a report, there has been a dip in business since Tuesday of about 20%, but several large pockets had held up very well on Monday and Tuesday and were likely adjusting on Wednesday. Pathaan brought in a total of 634 crores worldwide in its first week. It made a total of 395 crore rupees in India (gross revenue) and 330.25 crore rupees (net revenue). 239 crore were collected in its first week's total overseas collections.
The reviews for Pathaan have been favorable, with praise for Shah Rukh Khan's charm and John Abraham's portrayal as the villain. The movie established YRF's spy universe, which will be expanded upon in Tiger 3.
