Pathaan box office collection Day 20: Shah Rukh Khan's film has crossed over Rs 980 crore mark.

Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan released three weeks ago, and yet, the film continues to break records. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the spy thriller, which also features Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, attracted high footfall during its third weekend. Pathaan earned Rs 17.2 crore nett at the box office, taking its total collections to a staggering Rs 471.85 crore, and Rs 489.05 crore, if all the versions of the film are taken into account.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared, “Pathaan remains UNBEATABLE… Continues to score during weekends, with Weekend 3 touching ₹ 29 cr+… Will cross ₹ 475 cr today [third Mon]… Racing towards ₹ 500 cr… [Week 3] Fri 5.75 cr, Sat 11 cr, Sun 12.60 cr. Total: ₹ 471.85 cr. #Hindi. #India biz.” He also reported the money it earned from dubbed languages. “Pathaan #Tamil + #Telugu [Week 3]: Fri 15 lacs, Sat 25 lacs, Sun 40 lacs. Total: ₹ 17.20 cr. NOTE: #Pathaan #Hindi + #Tamil + #Telugu *combined* biz: ₹ 489.05 cr. #India biz. Nett BOC.”

The film’s producers, YRF also shared global numbers and announced that Pathaan has emerged as the highest earner in the history of Hindi cinema. They posted that the film has made $115.4 million in worldwide gross while its gross box office collection stand at Rs 588 crore (Rs 489.05 crore nett). The Rs gross international collection stands at Rs 358 crore.

The Siddharth Anand directorial is chasing SS Rajamouli’s Baahubhali 2: The Conclusion, whose Hindi version earned Rs 511 crore. If Pathaan crosses into the Rs 500 crore club, it would be the first Bollywood film to do so.  Moreover, Pathaan has crushed records globally as well and hit the Rs 924 crore mark. If its Sunday global estimates are to be taken into account, Pathaan has already crossed the Rs 950 crore mark, as per Pinkvilla. It is heading fast towards the Rs 1000 crore club.

However, it remains to be seen if the film continues to sail smoothly in its fourth week, as this Friday will see the release of Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada, as well as Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the former being a tough force to reckon with. After this, there will be a slew of releases, including Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee, Ranbir Kapoor-Shraddha Kapoor’s Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar and Tabu-Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa.

The success of Pathaan was unprecedented, as the film opened with Rs 55 crore, emerging as the highest opening for a Bollywood film. The film got entangled in controversies prior to its release, owing to its song Besharam Rang, and a smear campaign that has been targeting the film industry of late. However, as it was SRK returning to the big screen after four long years, there was a feverish hype surrounding the film. The success also brought much relief to Bollywood, which had practically been written off in the past two years and was sinking in a sea of misinformation and boycott campaigns. In the last couple of years, the industry has had only a handful of wins, including Gangubai Kathiawadi, The Kashmir Files, Drishyam 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan has two more films lined up for the year, including Atlee’s Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki.
