Pathaan is expected to bring in Rs 200 crore in its first five days at the box office, giving Bollywood a boost. On opening day and for the first five days of its extended weekend, the actioner starring Shah Rukh Khan is anticipated to make the cash registers ring. “As we all know, Shah Rukh Khan is returning to the cinema after four years in an out-and-out action entertainer, and the promotional material has done the work,” said film trade analyst Taran Adarsh in reference to Pathaan. The movie is being discussed by people. All eyes are on it because it’s the first significant release of 2023. He anticipates the movie to make between Rs 40 and Rs 50 crore in its opening weekend.
On January 20, Pathaan’s advance ticket sales officially started, and on that first day alone, more than 5 lakh tickets were sold. The top three multiplex chains, PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, sold more than 2 lakh tickets. These numbers are anticipated to increase greatly in the final two days before the movie’s premiere. “This demonstrates people want to watch a big entertainer on the big screen only,” Taran remarked in response to a strong advance ticket sales performance.
Filmmaker and industry expert Girish Johar believes that Pathaan’s early ticket sales have given the Hindi film industry as a whole a sense of confidence. The Hindi film industry struggled in 2022 due to intense competition from South Indian and international movies.
All formats and languages have outstanding advance ticket sales. It inspires great confidence in the entire film community as well as the cast and crew of the movie. The best Hindi film currently available is Pathaan. Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham are among the star cast. It is produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Siddharth Anand. I anticipate Pathaan getting off to a great start. However, he estimates that the movie would make between Rs 35 and Rs 38 crore on its opening day.
