Days after PM Narendra Modi asked BJP leaders to not comment unneccesarily about films, Union minister Anurag Thakur said boycott calls vitiate the atmosphere. "At a time when our cinema is making waves across the world, these boycott calls are vitiating the atmosphere. People comment without knowing the full facts, which is also detrimental," he said in Mumbai, as reported by ANI. Pathaan faced hate on social media and from certain sections of the BJP for a saffron-coloured swimsuit sported by actor Deepika Padukone in the song, Besharam Rang.
"Film Pathaan earned Rs 57 cr on day-1 of its release. The final collections for day-2 are yet to come in but estimates suggest that the film should earn Rs 70 cr. No Hindi film has ever achieved the Rs 70 crore mark in a single day,"trade analyst Taran Adarsh to ANI.
American actress Rachel Ann Mullins said in an interview that she was not aware who Shah Rukh Khan was when she signed Pathaan. "I'm going to catch some ire for this but I didn't know who he was until we worked together. One of the assistant directors explained that he was a big deal. We had a nice day together and it turns out we share the same birthday," she told Hindustan Times.
Alia Bhatt watched Pathaan with her mother Soni Razdan and sister Shaheen.

When the trade was estimating day 2 of ‘Pathaan’ to be Rs. 65 crore or thereabouts (after Rs. 57 crore for day 1), comes the surprising figure of approximately 72-73 crore. Hindi: 70-plus, others: 2.50. Exact figures awaited. Gosh!" he tweeted.
In response to comedian Atul Khatri's tweet that while Pathaan is not 'great or pathbreaking in terms of script and making - but the response in terms of reactions & collections is slap in the faces of those who have been after Bollywood for no rhyme or reason,' Kangana wrote, 'If yes then fight opposition righteously aisa nahi ho sakta when you win toh you make films political and rub in our faces and when we win you cry foul and shame us by calling us RW bigots who are exploiting art for political agenda…'
In a series of tweets critical of Pathaan, Kangana Ranaut claimed that she has mortgaged everything she owned in service of cinema. Responding to a parody account who claimed Pathaan’s single day earning is more than her life time earnings, she wrote, "Nimo bhai i don’t have any earnings left, I have put my house my office every single thing that I owned on mortgage just to make a film which will celebrate the constitution of India and our love for this great nation … paise toh sabhi kama lete hain aisa koi hai jo aise udai?"
Kangana Ranaut, after praising Pathaan, has now launched an all-out attack on Shah Rukh Khan film. In response to stand-up comedian Atul Khatri's twete about Pathaan's brand of humane patriotim, she wrote, "'Warning: If film industry doesn’t want to bear the burnt of political propaganda than they should condemn such propaganda using their films, tum khelo toh game hai hum khelein toh shame hai, aisa nahi chalega bhai… baad mein mat rona hum toh artists hai abhi se aukat mein raho."
