Pathaan box office collection Day 5: Shah Rukh Khan film continues breaking records, likely to cross Rs 500 cr mark globally
Pathaan box office collection day 5: Shah Rukh Khan’s film records a staggering first weekend, here’s how much it earned.
Shah Rukh Khan brought the much-needed masala back into Bollywood with his latest film Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand. The spy-thriller has been crushing records ever since its release on January 25. After a staggering opening of Rs 57 crore, the film earned Rs 70 crore on its second day, Rs 39 crore on its third day and picked up again over the weekend with Rs 53 crore and as far as early estimates go, it’s minted Rs 62 crore on the fifth day. The actioner has crossed the Rs 280 crore mark in India itself, its total collection stands at an impressive Rs 281 crore. Pathaan is also the fastest film in the history to enter the Rs 200 cr club beating KGF 2 and Baahubali 2’s Hindi version, which crossed the mark on their day fifth and sixth, respectively.
Pathaan had already broken records with its opening of Rs 57 crore, which is the highest single day in India and has now the highest opening weekend as well. The film is now looking to break the record of Dangal’s Rs 387 cr to be the all time highest grossing Hindi film. Not only in its home ground, Pathaan is also shattering ticket counters internationally as well, with the film collecting a whopping Rs 429 crore in only four days of release. It is now eyeing the Rs 500 crore mark, which it is likely to cross after Sunday’s collections.
Pathaan’s numbers come as a celebration and relief for Shah Rukh Khan, as he returned to films after four years. His earlier films Zero and Jab Harry Met Sejal did not witness much success at the box office. It’s also a boost for Bollywood, as the film industry had only a handful of hits last year, with only a few crossing the Rs 200 crore mark.
