The film is expected to deliver the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film in India, with around Rs 53 crore (Rs 55 crore including the Tamil and Telugu language releases). The film’s day one gross, according to Pinkvilla, is Rs 67 crore. The three national cinema chains — PVR, Inox and Cinepolis — have contributed towards nearly 50% of the film’s opening day figures, accounting for Rs 27 crore. The film is expected to deliver an even bigger day two, on account of the Republic Day holiday, which means that it will pass the coveted Rs 100 crore mark in two days.
But the film has already crossed that milestone worldwide. Pathaan made an estimated $4.5 million (Rs 36 crore) from overseas markets on day one, which means that its global gross now stands at over Rs 102 crore. Box Office India estimates the global tally to fall between Rs 100 crore and Rs 110 crore. In either scenario, Pathaan is now the first-ever Hindi movie to gross more than Rs 100 crore globally on its first day of release.
