Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham led Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, is having an absolute dream run at the box office. The film is now the closest it has been to become the highest grossing Indian film for the Hindi nett version in India, after 39 days. It will cross Baahubali 2's Hindi nett total in India, tomorrow, and that will be the first time in over five and a half years that a Hindi film tops the Hindi version film list. With a Rs. 1 crore sixth Friday and a Rs. 2 crore sixth Saturday based on early estimates, the 39 day nett total of Pathaan stands at a massive Rs. 510.30 crores nett. The film still has a lot of steam left and shall keep running in limited shows probably till the Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

Pathaan Is The Second Highest Grossing Hindi Film For The Dubbed Versions

Pathaan has mustered slightly under Rs 20 crores nett from its dubbed versions, making it the second highest grossing Bollywood film for the dubbed versions, after Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva. Unlike Brahmastra that got majority of its south collections from its dubbed versions, Pathaan did majority of its business down south from the original version.

Pathaan Is Heading Towards A Full Run Of Around Rs 525 Crores Nett For Its Hindi Version In India

The film is showing very strong legs and in the final run, it is expected to do a business of around Rs 525 crores nett in Hindi and it is unprecedented and unheard of. In gross terms for the Hindi version in India, the film is only behind Baahubali 2 and that's going to be the final scenario too as the gap is too big to cover. Baahubali 2 managed to gross over Rs 700 crores in India and Pathaan is almost three quarters of a century away from Baahubali 2.

Pathaan Has Collected Over Rs 1000 Crores From Its Hindi Version Alone, Worldwide

Again, Pathaan takes the top spot when it comes to the worldwide gross box office collections for the Hindi version as it has eclipsed Rs 1000 crores and is likely to end up doing around Rs 1015 - 1020 crores gross for its Hindi version, worldwide. This will keep the film around 25 percent ahead of Baahubali 2, which did a little more than Rs. 800 crores gross worldwide for its Hindi version.

It May Take An Established Intellectual Property To Challenge New Box Office Records

Baahubali 2 is truly a landmark film for the Indian Film Industry and it is a film whose records will be reiterated for years to come. Baahubali 2 managed what it managed in Hindi, without much support from the south since it was preferred either in its original version or the regional dubbed version. The all India footfalls stand at a massive 10 crores and of that, over 5 crores have come from the Hindi version. Seeing the trajectory of films doing big business in India, it seems like it will take an established IP to break further records. Indian movie business is going the Hollywood way where big franchises are bigger stars than the big movie stars themselves.
