Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan has been on a rampage at the box office since day 1. After crossing the Rs 400 crore mark in a record 12 days, the Siddharth Anand directorial has now raced past Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2.
Just when everybody thought that Bollywood has lost its charm and that Hindi films won’t be able to replicate the box office business of the recent South Indian biggies, came Shah Rukh Khan with Pathaan! The King was making his comeback to the big screen after a hiatus of 4 years and was more than eager to reclaim his throne. And he did exactly the same!
Pathaan, a mountainous blockbuster
Pathaan became the fastest Hindi film to cross Rs 100 crore, Rs 200 crore, Rs 300 crore, and Rs 400 crore marks. And now, the Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham starrer actioner has crossed the Hindi lifetime collection of Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2.
As Pathaan raked in Rs 7.50 crore on day 14, its total collection now stands at Rs 430.25 crore. The Siddharth Anand directorial will overtake KGF: Chapter 2, which earned Rs 434.70 crore, today, February 8. Therefore, the Yash Raj Films production will now be the second highest-grossing film in Hindi, behind SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2.
Taking to Twitter, trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared, “#Pathaan will cross *lifetime biz* of #KGF2 #Hindi [2nd highest] today [Wed]… Big question: Will #Pathaan surpass #Baahubali2 #Hindi in the coming days?… [Week 2] Fri 13.50 cr, Sat 22.50 cr, Sun 27.50 cr, Mon 8.25 cr, Tue 7.50 cr.
