For the first time in its 20 day run so far, Pathaan has gone below the Rs. 5 crores mark. Though on Thursday and Friday, the film had dipped below Rs. 6 crores for the first time ever, there was good pace gathered all over avail on a Saturday and Sunday. However, with over Rs. 475 crores already in its kitty, it was about time that the film did get into Rs. 4 crores range and this is what happened on Monday.
The film brought in Rs. 4.20 crores and that’s still a little better than expected total considering a bulk of the audience has already been exhausted and one can’t expect more and more repeat viewing to come in even from the hardcore fans. Gone are the days when the biggest of the blockbusters warranted repeat viewings. Now, it’s a privilege to have audiences step into theatres even for a single viewing and post that one can expect them to give a film another dekko on the OTT, something that will happen for Pathaan as well.
As it is, the film has already collected Rs. 493.25 crores and that’s a number which has been surpassed only by one film on history, Baahubali: The Conclusion. While the Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer is chasing this big milestone, it would be interesting to see how much further to do that does it travel before the close of its run.
All time mega blockbuster.
Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources
