Box office collections of ‘Pathaan’ the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer spy-thriller, crossed $52.5 million (₹4.29 billion) in just four days, as it continued its dream run worldwide.
On the fourth day of the release, Pathaan earned $42.4 million (₹2.65 billion) in India and over $20 million (₹1.64 billion) overseas, reported trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
In Bollywood, Pathaan is ‘rewriting history’ as it has now become the fastest Hindi film in history to enter the $24.4 million (₹2 billion) club, surpassing KGF2 and Baahubali 2’s Hindi versions, which hit the mark on the fifth and sixth day, respectively.
Seeing the box office collections, film trade expects the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer to end its first week on a historical note.
