Pathaan box office collection: Shah Rukh Khan’s film set to cross $40 million mark before its second week | Hindi Movie News

Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan is just refusing to slow down at the box office. While the Siddharth Anand directorial has already been dominating the Indian market, it has also shown a strong grip in the overseas market as well. The film, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead, is all set to cross $40 million overseas before the second week of its release.
According to Box Office India, Pathaan has become the highest grossing Indian film in all main markets, outside USA also. The film’s collections can go over $36.50 million and it will comfortably cross the $40 million mark before the start of the third week.

Pathaan has beaten Aamir Khan starrer Dangal on Saturday to become the highest grossing Hindi film with collections around $13.50 million. Director’s SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 still holds the top position in the US and Canada with its total collection of $20 million, including all formats. It remains to be seen if Pathaan will be able to surpass Baahubali 2 to secure the numero uno position in the overseas market.

In UK, Pathaan hit the £3 million mark on Saturday. It has become the first film in 21 years to reach this milestone. The £1 million mark was first breached by Hum Aapke Hain Koun! in 1994, followed by Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2002 with a collection of £2 million. Going by its unprecedented run, Pathaan may even be able to cross £4 million mark.

The movie is also doing a great business in the Gulf regions. It has minted $11 million by its second Saturday. It has become the first Indian film to breach the $10 million mark in Gulf by beating Salman Khan‘s Bajrangi Bhaijaan record. And there is still a lot more to come.

In Australia, Pathaan has broken the previous records of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat (A$3.1 million), SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 and RRR (A$3.6 million) by earning A$3.9 million. The film should be able to hit $4 million mark after the end of its second week.
