Pathaan estimated box office day 1 collection: Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback with ₹51 crore opening

Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan is off to a great start at the domestic box office. Pathaan's first day figures are among the top openers of all time as War (2019) had collected ₹50 crore nett and 2022's KGF 2 (Hindi) had done a business of ₹52 crore nett. 

As per early estimates, Pathaan's Hindi version has recorded a phenomenal ₹50-51 crore nett collection on day one at the domestic box office.

Pathaan was released on Wednesday, a day before Republic Day 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages. Pathaan is directed by Siddharth Anand, and backed up Yash Raj Films.

Even before the release of the film, Pathaan had smashed records with its incredible advance bookings. The advance bookings for Pathaan had opened on January 20. 

Due to growing demands, theatre owners in many parts of India had decided to have early morning screenings of the film. 

Amid the Pathaan craze, there were also reports that the film’s morning shows had been cancelled as protests emerge outside theatres in Indore on Wednesday.
