With Pathaan, Rs 529.86 crores been collected already after Friday numbers jumped again to Rs 1.07 crore. The weekend will see a rise in collections again and while Monday and Tuesday would be open too, Wednesday will see Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar releasing.
Bollywood has made a strong statement with its latest release, ‘Pathaan.’ The film, which stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, has surpassed the box office record set by the Telugu blockbuster ‘Baahubali.’ The film has crossed the Rs. 500 crore mark in just three weeks of its release, making it one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
‘Pathaan’ is an action thriller that centers around the life of a spy named Kabir Pathan, played by Shah Rukh Khan. The movie has been directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Dimple Kapadia in crucial roles.
The movie was released on Diwali, one of the biggest festivals in India, and it was met with tremendous response from audiences across the country. The film’s box office success is a testament to the popularity and star power of Shah Rukh Khan, who is one of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry.
‘Pathaan’ has been praised for its high-octane action sequences and thrilling storyline. The film’s director Siddharth Anand has previously directed blockbuster movies like ‘War’ and ‘Bang Bang,’ both of which were known for their high production values and intense action sequences.
The film’s success has also been attributed to its extensive marketing campaign, which was designed to generate maximum buzz and hype around the release of the film. The movie’s posters, trailers, and promotional videos were all widely shared on social media, generating a huge amount of interest among fans.
The success of ‘Pathaan’ has sent a strong message to the South Indian film industry, which has been dominating the Indian box office for the past few years. The Telugu blockbuster ‘Baahubali’ was one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema history, grossing over Rs. 1800 crore at the box office. However, ‘Pathaan’ has surpassed that record with ease, signaling a shift in the balance of power between Bollywood and the South Indian film industry.
Shah Rukh Khan, who is popularly known as the ‘King of Bollywood,’ has been on a roll with his recent releases. His last film, ‘Zero,’ may have been a critical and commercial disappointment, but ‘Pathaan’ has more than made up for it. The actor has also signed on to star in several other high-profile projects, including a biopic on the Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma.
In conclusion, ‘Pathaan’ has been a landmark film for Bollywood, setting a new benchmark for box office success. The film’s success is a testament to the star power of Shah Rukh Khan and the hard work of the film’s director and producers. The film has proved that Bollywood is still a force to be reckoned with in the Indian film industry, and it has sent a strong message to the South Indian film industry that it cannot afford to rest on its laurels. With ‘Pathaan,’ Bollywood has once again shown that it can produce blockbuster movies that can rival the biggest hits from any other industry in India or around the world.
