Yash Raj Film productions shared on Friday that the worldwide gross box office collection of the film is nearing the Rs 900 crore mark. It already has recorded a collection of Rs 888 crore till Friday with Rs 337 crore gross collection coming from the international markets. As per the early estimates, Pathaan will easily enter the Rs 900 crore club over this weekend. But how strong will it stand after this weekend remains to be seen as Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will be arriving in the theaters next week.
Pathaan’s box office performance was considered critical for the Hindi film industry prior to its release, given the industry’s lean period following the pandemic. With names like Siddharth Anand, YRF, and Shah Rukh Khan on board, trade analysts were confident it would be a blockbuster.
