Box Office India Trade Network

PATHAAN showed huge growth of 70% as it collected 22.25 crore nett on its second Saturday to take its overall total to 383 crore nett. It has become the third highest grosser ever in Hindi and is now chasing the two dubbed films KGF - CHAPTER 2 and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION.

The growth of the film was phenomenal all over with even mass circuits going up 60-65% on Saturday and there will be more to come here on Sunday as it heads for a second weekend which will be well over 60 crore nett.

The film continues to create new records every day and and this is not just in India but overseas as well. The chase is on for the biggest record which is the lifetime collection of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION and the title of the highest grossing Hindi film ever. The third weekend is crucial for this and with another open weekend, it should rack up big collections.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.
Week One - 3,47,75,00,000 apprx (9 days)
Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx
Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx
TOTAL -  3,83,00,00,000 apprx

PATHAAN is recording insane business in Gulf as it became the highest grossing film in this circuit in just nine days and now has gone to cross the $11 million mark in just 11 days. There are added collections of Saudi Arabia which was not there at the time of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN and PATHAAN is extraordinary in Saudi Arabia. But that does not tell the whole story as recent films have had Saudi Arabia releases.

The Gulf market has been a struggle post pandemic as films have just not been able to collect there and the highest collections before PATHAAN were $2.17 million of KGF - CHAPTER 2 (Hindi), $2.1 million of BRAHMASTRA and $1.9 million of SOORYAVANSHI. This is what makes PATHAAN an incredible feat and with $11 million up on the board, it will still not be stopping.

The film collected a huge $9.75 million in in Gulf in its extended nine day week just missing the $10 million mark. The second weekend itself is looking at a number of $2 million or very close. This $2 million in the second weekend after smashing all records in nine days is almost as much as any other release post pandemic.

The top ten grossers in Gulf of all time are as follows.
1. Pathaan - $11,050,000 (11 Days)
2. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $9,450,000
3. Dangal - $8,800,000
4. Sultan - $8,570,000
5. Dilwale - $8,410,000
6. Tiger Zinda Hai - $7,170,000
7. Dhoom 3- $6,430,000
8. Happy New Year - $5,750,000
9. Raees - $5,420,000
10. Race 3 - $5,230,000
