New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback to the big screen with ‘Pathaan’, which premiered on Wednesday, has been shattering records ever since. Before its release, the movie generated a great deal of hype, and it also had the highest Bollywood opening. The Siddharth Anand-directed film reportedly made approximately Rs 70 crore on its second day of release.
According to Boxofficeindia.com, when the final numbers are in, ‘Pathaan’s revenue in Hindi is expected to be at least Rs 70 crore and possibly even higher. This will bring its two-day earnings to over Rs 127 crore. “There is no film which has even got close to 70 crore nett with the 50 crore nett mark being breached a couple of times on the first day,” the report stated.
The numbers are in the range of Rs 65–70 crore nett, according to industry tracker Sacnilk, which puts the movie’s overall two-day earnings over Rs 120 crore.
