Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan continues to rewrite history at the box office. The film has finally sailed past Aamir Khan’s Dangal collections. According to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Pathaan is expected to have collected Rs. 22.5 crore on Saturday, taking total collections in Hindi to Rs. 387 crore approximately. Its all India collection stands at Rs 401.4 crore, if its collections in Tamil and Telugu languages is taken into account.

With this, Pathaan has gone past Dangal’s record of Rs 387 crore. Pathaan has emerged as the biggest Bollywood blockbuster and is now eyeing the collections of KGF 2 and Baahubali 2.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the movie’s latest box office figures: “#Pathaan shows FANTASTIC GROWTH on [second] Sat… Will be FIRST *outright #Hindi film* to cross ₹ 400 cr mark [Nett BOC]… #Dangal crossed, next target #KGF2 #Hindi… [Week 2] Fri 13.50 cr, Sat 22.50 cr.

Pathaan is expected to break KGF 2’s record in the next five days and if it keeps up the momentum, to challenge Baahubali 2’s record of Rs 511 crore in Hindi. If the film achieves this feat, it will become the highest-grossing film in Hindi. The last time Shah Rukh Khan had delivered such a massive hit was in 2013 with Chennai Express. Moreover, the spy thriller has done wonders overseas, and crossed Rs 780 crore mark globally, as shared by YRF’s social media handle. Pathaan has been a messiah of sorts for Bollywood, which was being written off in the past two years — plagued by boycott campaigns and poor films. In 2022, only a handful of films managed to create an impression at the box office, while others featuring stars like Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar fell by the wayside.

Pathaan’s raging success has also made Shah Rukh “forget the last four years” when he was sitting at home. Expressing his gratitude towards the audience for showing up in huge numbers at the theaters for Pathaan, he said during a recent media interaction, “I just want to say there’s so much love from all sides and we can never show enough gratefulness. We thank you on behalf of the film industry for bringing life back to cinemas.” The success is even more commendable as SRK didn’t engage in the usual run-of-the-mill promotions like touring cities or appearing on television shows, but instead, did Ask SRK sessions on Twitter, every week.
