‘PATHAAN’ SMASHES OLD RECORDS, CREATES NEW ONES! | 27 January, 2023

Yash Raj Films’ Pathaan, as predicted in our review, is on a record-breaking and record-creating spree. In the first two days itself, the film has created the following new records, some of which may take a long time to be broken:

* By netting Rs. 57 crore (Rs. 55 crore in Hindi, Rs. 2 crore in Tamil and Telugu) on day 1, it has become the Hindi film with the highest collection on the opening day.

* By netting Rs. 70.50 crore (Rs. 68 crore in Hindi, Rs. 2.50 crore in Tamil and Telugu) on day 2, it has become the Hindi film with the highest collection on the second day.

* It is the only Hindi film to breach the Rs. 55-crore mark on the first day.

* It is the only Hindi film to breach the Rs. 70-crore mark on the second day.

* It is the fastest Hindi film to record Rs. 100 crore. It achieved this feat on the second day itself.

* It is the only Hindi film to net over Rs. 50 crore on two consecutive days (day 1 and day 2).

* It has created circuit records in every single circuit of India on its second day.

* It is the widest Hindi release of all time in India.

* No other Hindi film released on an odd day which was a non-holiday has recorded such collections on days 1 and 2.
