PATHAAN collected 5.50-5.75 crore nett on Friday to make it a huge 90 crore second week. It was day sixteen and collections still remain at a very good level. The total collections of the film so far are 438 crore nett and it is looking set for another big week. The second week is the sixth highest of all time with three films getting over the 100 crore nett mark in week two.

The film trended a little better in the weekdays compared to the first week and it is crucial the Friday also trends like last week and shows a minimal drop or stays at a similar level. This is just in tems for that 500 crore nett finish as otherwise the film has done its a job in a big way.

KGF - CHAPTER 2 grossed 80 crore nett plus after its second week and that would be more than enough for PATHAAN. The third Friday looks to be trending better than KGF - CHAPTER 2 but the Yash starrer had a few days advantage of Eid and some big films tanking badly in that period. The next ten days will probably tell where PATHAAN will end up. At the moment the range looks to be 490-520 crore nett.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PATHAAN had a fantastic hold on its third Friday as it collected similar to Thursday with around 5.50-5.75 crore nett. Last week, the multiplexes showed no drop on Friday but mass pockets dropped probably due to the huge release but this week the holds were strong all over. The lower level of business also helped.

The film remains on course for the 500 crore nett mark though next week is the crucial one as it will face competition for the first time in its run. The third Friday is easily the best post pandemic as KGF - CHAPTER 2 had done almost 4 crore nett while THE KASHMIR FILES was around 4.50 crore nett. The weekend growth should be huge like last week and there should be another double digit in its run and maybe even two if Saturday really pushes.

The film has now collected over 443 crore nett and it will probably cross 450 crore nett today. The film has done huge business in South and East and surprisingly these areas are holding up very well till now. The Mumbai and Central belts could have had higher numbers comparatively but these are also holding well.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 5,75,00,000 apprx

Friday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

PATHAAN (Hindi) took its overseas total to $41 million in its second week. The film has crossed $15 million in USA/Canada and a crazy $12 million in Gulf. The United Kingdom is heading towards the £4 million mark. It also has seen outstanding business in places like New Zealand, Germany and other countries of Europe. The standout though is the Gulf region and United Kingdom

The business of the film in US/Canada alone has out grossed the total overseas business of all Hindi films released post the pandemic and that pretty tells how big this film is in Overseas. The only Indian films above it are the ones in multiple formats be it with a Manadarin version or the Indian regional languages. There is no original INDIAN film anywhere close to Pathaan in Overseas.

The worldwide number of the is 861 crore and the third weekend will see the film cruise past the 900 crore mark. 

The collections of PATHAAN worldwide are as follows.

India - 526 crore (437.75 nett)

Overseas - 335 crore ($41 million)

TOTAL - 861 crore (ALL TIME RECORD) (Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 802 cr, Dangal - 702 cr)

The worldwide numbers in all formats will be around the 880 crore plus mark and this is well off record levels but that is because PATHAAN is mainly for the core Hindi film markets and this genre made for Hindi audiences will not travel like a DANGAL.

PATHAAN (Hindi) crossed the $40 million benchmark in 14 days as it heads towards a $45 million total in overseas markets. The $50 million mark is probably going to be a tall order though 500 cr and $50 overseas makes for great numbers for the record books. Its never been done before and nothing has even come close.

The film is close to $15 million in US/Canada and it will go past the RRR number today (Wednesday) as it crosses $15 million. RRR had grossed $14.87 million in all formats and is the number one Indian film in US/Canada post pandemic

The Gulf total is also closing on in $12 million and this market has seen nothing like it. The worldwide number of the film is now 837 crore and it will easily cross 900 crore by the end of the third weekend.  

The collections of PATHAAN worldwide are as follows.

India - 511 crore (425.75 nett)

Overseas - 326 crore ($40 million)

TOTAL - 837 crore (ALL TIME RECORD) (Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 802 cr, Dangal - 702 cr)

The worldwide numbers in all formats will be around the 850 crore plus mark and this is well off record levels but that is because PATHAAN is mainly for the core Hindi film markets and this genre made for Hindi audiences will not travel like a DANGAL.

----------------------------------------

PATHAAN has been smashing records all over the place and at many places it was beating the records of KGF - CHAPTER 2 and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION within the first week. As far as original Hindi films go, there is just no comparison. The only original Hindi films that can compete are TANHAJI: THE UNSUNG WARRIOR in Mumbai and DANGAL in East Punjab and Tamil Nadu.

The circuits where PATHAAN has set RECORDS are below.

West Bengal (29 crore): Here, it crossed the business of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION in around 13 days and is looking to be the first film ever to reach 30 crore nett in this circuit. The five day weekend was an insane 19 crore nett.

Assam (9 crore nett): EXTRAORDINARY performance here as it crossed crossed the business of KGF - CHAPTER 2 in just six days and will be the first film to hit 10 crore nett in the circuit. This circuit had huge potential as the top grosser was KGF - CHAPTER 2 but here, South films are not as strong as in other parts of East like Odisha and parts of Bihar.

Nizam/Andhra (32 crore): EXTRAORDINARY collections in Nizam/Andhra also as it beat the DANGAL (Hindi) record in just seven days. The film will be the second best non SOUTH film performer here after AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. It will be beat the business of the likes of BRAHMASTRA and AVENGERS: ENDGAME with just the Hindi version and will be looking at a total of 50 crore nett or near from all versions.

Mysore (28 Crore): ALL TIME RECORD in 15 days as it beat the numbers of DANGAL and is sure to become the first film to hit the 30 crore nett mark in this circuit. The film has retained excellent collections in week two and is the best contributor for South in week two.

Tamil Nadu/Kerala  (13.50 crore): The film has smashed all records in Kerala but remains less than DANGAL in Tamil Nadu. But this could be due to the weaker release as distributors continued with with the Tamil Pongal releases even though PATHAAN would have given better occupancy over the initial weekend.

The biggest circuit record for the will film will that 100 crore nett record in Delhi/UP which is around the corner. It will be the first century in Delhi/UP and and it remains to be seen how far above 100 crore the film goes.

PATHAAN had steady collections on its second Tuesday as it collected 7.25 crore nett. The drop is in the 10% range and the trend in the weekdays on the second week is stronger than the first week. PATHAAN has now crossed the 425 crore nett mark and today (Wednesday) it will become second highest Hindi grosser in India as it crosses the 428 crore nett of KGF - CHAPTER 2.

The second week so far has collected around 78 crore nett and looks to be heading for a 90 crore nett second week. This will be among the top five or six second weeks. There have been three films to go over 100 crore nett in week two (BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION, DANGAL and THE KASHMIR FILES).

The film is now also the highest grossing Hindi film in all circuits of South India as it goes past the Mysore number of DANGAL. The other circuits had reached record levels earlier with Nizam/Andhra doing record business in just six days. Despite racking up huge business till date, the film still needs a strong third Friday if it is reach the 500 crore nett mark and the collections of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------

PATHAAN remained steady on Wednesday as it collected around 6.50 crore nett taking the 15 days total to 432 crore nett. The second week so far is a huge 84.50 crore nett and is likely to finish a little above 90 crore nett.

The film has crossed the business of KGF - CHAPTER 2 (Hindi) to become the second highest grosser in India but PATHAAN is yet to go ahead in many circuits as the KGF - CHAPTER 2 business was mainly from in Hindi circuits and limited in South. PATHAAN is looking to clear 80 crore nett from South with just the Hindi version which is an ALL TIME RECORD. In time, PATHAAN will cross KGF - CHAPTER 2 in most of the major Hindi circuits except for Mumbai. 

The third Friday is crucial to stay in the race to chase down 500 crore and BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION as there will be 70 crore nett to cover post the second week.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

PATHAAN held up well on its second Monday as it collected 8 crore nett. The drop is a little over 40% but it is mainly due to the ticket rate drop which was always going to go this level at some point as it was at high levels for the first 12 days of its run. Now the film has come down to regular ticket pricing which is the lowest level it can be.

The collections showed much lower drops in some of Hindi circuits where this pricing drop affects less theatres. The collections of the film stand at around 419 crore nett now after 13 days and it looks like the film can have second week of close to 90 crore nett. The fact that this 90 crore nett will be coming off after almost 350 crore nett in week one is extraordinary.

The second week collections of PATHAAN will still be 10 crore nett more than KGF - CHAPTER 2 though the second Monday collections are very much similar.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,00,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

PATHAAN (Hindi) continues to put up huge numbers in overseas even on its second Monday as it reached $39.50 million and will create history on Tuesday by hitting $40 million which will be a first. Gulf was phenomenal on Monday as it took its total to $11.65 million. The Monday numbers in United Kingdom also ensure the film will hit the £4 million mark smashing all records by 50% or maybe even more.

The benchmarks it is sitting on in Overseas are simply mad and it is only Shah Rukh Khan who can challenge these benchmarks. The numbers are coming outside Eid and Christmas which are the best periods in Overseas for Hindi films. So a good Shah Rukh Khan film in these periods has the potential to go even higher than where PATHAAN has gone.

The worldwide number of the film is now 836 crore and it will easily cross 900 crore by the end of the third weekend. 

The collections of PATHAAN worldwide are as follows.

India - 512 crore (418.50 nett)

Overseas - 324 crore ($39.50 million)

(Baahubali 2: The Conclusion 802 cr, Dangal - 702 cr)

The worldwide numbers in all formats will be around the 850 crore plus mark and this is well off record levels but that is because PATHAAN is mainly for the core Hindi film markets and this genre made for Hindi audiences will not travel like a DANGAL.

PATHAAN's second weekend collections of 63 crore nett was comfortably higher than KGF - CHAPTER 2 though the numbers were less than THE KASHMIR FILES making it the second highest weekend post the pandemic. The film saw huge growth on Saturday and Sunday as on both days, the film went comfortably over 20 crore nett.

The total of the film stands at over 410 crore after its second weekend which makes it the highest total for an outright HINDI film. The lifetime number of KGF - CHAPTER 2 will be taken out in the next 2-3 days and then BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION will remain in front and whether it can reach there or not will depend on the week three and four.

The film had a mammoth nine day first week but has still sustaining very well which tells about the appreciation of the film. There are some circuits which maybe could have done a little better but to counteract that there are some which have well beyond the expectations. The second weekend out performance probably came in Mysore.

The collections of PATHAAN (Hindi) till date are as follows.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 27,50,00,000 apprx

Second Weekend - 62,75,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------

PATHAAN (Hindi) has crossed the 800 crore mark worldwide and become the ALL TIME highest grossing film in HINDI worldwide as it beat the record of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION. The film had beaten DANGAL on Friday and now in just twelve days of release, it has also beaten BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION.

The worldwide number stands at a huge 811 crore after the second weekend. These numbers are for the Hindi film only and does not include the other formats in other languages. There are films which travel be it across India or outside and get released in different formats to cater that territory or country so numbers can get higher this way. These will be very few films but true success is always what the original film does.

BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION is actually not an original Hindi film but it was the highest grosser in Hindi worldwide and now PATHAAN has taken over and and will take the business of a Hindi language film to a higher level.

The collections of PATHAAN worldwide are as follows.

India - 494 crore (411.50 nett)

Overseas - 317 crore ($38.75 million)

The worldwide numbers in all formats will be around the 830 crore mark and this is well off record levels but that is because PATHAAN is mainly for the core Hindi film markets and this genre made for Hindi audiences will not travel like a DANGAL.

----------------------------------------

PATHAAN which has been setting records since its release twelve days back set its biggest record so far by becoming the highest grossing film in HINDI worldwide as it beat the collections of BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION. The 500 crore mark worldwide is itself a BLOCKBUSTER benchmark but PATHAAN covered that in a matter of 5 days.

It has to be mentioned these collections are for the original HINDI film only and other formats of PATHAAN and other films are not included. There will be some who believe in adding all collections but those comparisons are not like for like and numbers from Far East and Russia simply distort the history of Hindi cinema where a BAROOD (1976) becomes as big as SHOLAY (1975) and SECRET SUPERSTAR (2017) becomes bigger than TIGER ZINDA HAI (2017).

The way we see it PATHAAN has set the new benchmark worldwide and it will be the film that others have to chase. This benchmark will be over 900 crore and maybe even reach 1000 crore.

The top worldwide grossers in HINDI are as follows. The comparisons are like to like meaning oranges being compared to oranges and not olives.

2. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - 802 crore

3. Dangal - 702 crore

4. PK - 616 crore

5. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 604 crore

6. KGF 2 - 587 crore

7 Sanju - 578 crore

8. Sultan - 577 crore

9. Tiger Zinda Hai - 565 crore

10. Padmaavat - 546 crore

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.

Friday - 13,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 22,25,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------------------------

PATHAAN has had an excellent hold on its second Friday as it picks 13 crore nett apprx which is a 13% drop from Thursday though in some of the multiplex dominated centres, the drops were hardly there due to the ticket rates going up. The drops have come in mass pockets like UP, CP, CI and Maharashtra.

This has taken the film to a huge 361 crore nett apprx in ten days and today it will become the highest grossing original Hindi film as it'll beat the numbers of DANGAL (2016). PATHAAN will also cruise past the 400 crore nett before the weekend is out making it first original Hindi film to cross 400 crore nett though the target is 500 crore nett.

The weekend will see huge results for the film as it maintains superb collections all over though there are some under performing pockets but this is more to do with these places not being as high as other places in the initial days. The film had already started setting circuit lifetime records before the end of its first week and it will probably hit more over the weekend.

PATHAAN is going to go easily past KGF - CHAPTER 2 possibly before the second week is out but the more interesting part is how it compare in terms of circuits and with BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION as both those dubbed films had limited business coming from South. In Mumbai, its unlikely to beat KGF - CHAPTER 2 while BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION is at a different level and pretty much unbeatable. But in most other circuits, PATHAAN should be coming out ahead of these dubbed films.

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

--------------------------------

PATHAAN has become the highest grossing original HINDI film worldwide in just ten days as it hits a worldwide total of around 711 crore. The final overseas numbers for the second Friday are awaited but its pretty much certain to be in the $34 million range in ten days with super strong collections on Friday across all of overseas.

The title of highest grossing original HINDI film in India will have to wait for a day. Overseas was done in nine days, worldwide is done in ten days and India will be done in eleven days. The previous record holder was DANGAL which did 702 crore.

Surprisingly this is the first Shah Rukh Khan film to cross 400 crore worldwide but now all sort of benchmarks are being taken out. BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION remains the top HINDI film at over 800 crore but that was dubbed and not original and PATHAAN will also take that film out soon enough.

Below are the top original HINDI films worldwide in original format. The collections are for outright HINDI films in their original format.

2. Dangal - 702 crore

3. PK - 616 crore

4. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 604 crore

5. Sanju - 578 crore

6. Sultan - 577 crore

7. Tiger Zinda Hai - 565 crore

8. Padmaavat - 546 crore

9. Dhoom 3 - 524 crore

10. War - 442 crore
