If there is ever a comeback film that will go down in the history of Indian cinema it has to be Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’. The King of Bollywood has once again reminded the world that he is the best in this field and that he has the best fans around the world. Fans waited impatiently for the release of the action movie, and when it finally arrived on Republic Day eve, they lined up in front of the theatres to see SRK, John Abraham, and Deepika Padukone in action. For SRK's admirers, Pathaan is special since it marks the first time they have seen him in his hitherto unheard-of action-hero persona.
The movie has made approximately 296 crores in Hindi, which means it will surpass the 300 crore milestone on Tuesday. The movie had a five-day extended weekend after its January 25 release (though Friday was a non-holiday). In India, the Hindi version had a 55 crore opening. In its five-day extended weekend, Pathaan brought in a total of Rs 542 crore worldwide. Despite it being a non-holiday on Monday, the movie is still raking in the cash. This demonstrates how excited the audience was to see the movie.
Shah Rukh and the Pathaan cast, which also included Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, spoke to the media for the first time on Monday to thank them for the success of their movie. At the media event, SRK expressed their hope for a Pathaan sequel's greater box office performance. This has been seen by fans as an indication that Pathaan 2 is imminent and will take place soon.
