Pathaan has been breaking records ever since its premiere on Wednesday. Because it had the largest Bollywood opening, the Hindi version of the Siddharth Anand-directed movie went on to make about 70 crore on its second day, which also happened to be a holiday. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham also have major parts in the movie, along with Ashutosh Rana and Dimple Kapadia. Salman Khan also makes a cameo appearance in the film.
With domestic sales of 57, Pathaan became the highest-earning Bollywood debut film in history on Wednesday. It ultimately exceeded 100 crore on day 2, which was Thursday and a holiday for Republic Day. Of course, the film’s second-day revenue was the highest for a Bollywood production.
Pathaan earned at least 70 crore in Hindi, according to Boxofficeindia.com, and the final figure could be much higher.With this, its two-day earnings will reach approximately 127 crore. The 50 crore nett milestone was broken many times on the first day, and the report claims that “there is no movie that has even gotten close to 70 crore nett.”

In their review of the film, the Hindustan Times said, “Pathaan is your true-blue commercial, masala entertainer that’s not seeking to send over any message or be a societal comment on the current status of events in the country.” It’s wonderful, easygoing, and fun all at once.
Midnight screenings were also added in order to meet the huge demand that the film saw across the country as soon as it premiered on Wednesday. The film had its international debut on 8000 screens, including 2500 overseas. It could continue to establish many more new records throughout the following weekend.
