New Delhi: Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) ‘Pathaan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has wiped out all previous records as it has collected Rs 55 crore net in India, and recorded the biggest ever day one for a Hindi film.
The total collections of ‘Pathaan’ on day one is Rs 57 crore nett (Hindi- Rs 55 crore and dubbed versions Rs 2 crore).
The flick has set 10 new records with its incredible day one figure at the box office! It has become the widest Hindi release of all time in India. It’s the highest grossing first day for a Hindi film. It’s also the highest grossing first day for a non-holiday release.
‘Pathaan’ is the third YRF spy universe film to set an opening day record after ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘War’.
It is also the highest grossing first day for SRK, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, YRF, and director Siddharth Anand.
Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, says, “It is a historic day for Indian cinema and we are humbled to see the love and appreciation that is flowing for Pathaan globally. For Pathaan to shatter records in this fashion on a non holiday, just proves that the theatrical business is here to stay, provided we make films that entice people to come to the cinemas to witness a never seen before experience that entertains them thoroughly.
“We, at YRF, are thrilled with the start that the film has got across India and we are hopeful that Pathaan brings joy to cine-goers globally in the days to come! Pathaan is the fourth film of our YRF Spy Universe and we are thrilled that we have been able to elevate the cinematic experience of audiences with each film from this franchise. We humbly share this moment with all the stake-holders of the film who have given their blood, sweat and tears to give people a movie-going experience like never before,” he added. (UNI)
