Pathaan has taken a big start at the box office on the 2nd Sunday (12th day) morning shows as early samples are coming in. This is fantastic as the film is chasing unprecedented box office numbers for the day. Realistically film should easily go past the 25 cr NBOC and after that, it is all about chasing the 30 cr mark, and for that, it needs a big jump all through the day.
Pathan has opened to 25-30% occupancy in the morning shows of Day 12. For the same, Day 11 opening was 15% approx. It means a jump of 80-90% is seen when only morning shows are considered. This is fantastic as the film already did huge business on day 11.
Pathaan total collection at the end of 2nd Saturday stands at a whopping 400-401 cr NBOC. Thus, it has become the first Bollywood film to reach this milestone in India. It has also surpassed Dangal to emerge as the highest-grossing film in India. Pathan achieves this feat in just 11 days and there is still more to come.
Now the real chase begins as the film is targeting both KGF 2 (Hindi) and Baahubali 2 (Hindi) business now. KGF 2 Hindi collections will be surpassed in a day or two. Then it is all about going close to and overhauling the Baahubali 2 mark. For that film needs another few days of strong trending at the box office.
