From Akshay’s Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan to Ranbir Kapoor’s Shamshera to Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha to Kangana’s Dhaakad, every big starrer Bollywood movie tanked at the box-office. The consistent underperformance of Bollywood movies made many wonder if it was end of Bollywood. But, then came Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and left everyone surprised.
Pathaan crosses Rs 1000 crore mark
Pathaan turned cinema halls into stadiums as people went berserk after watching Shah Rukh on a big screen after so many years. From lining up early morning at the theatres to dancing in theatres, audience showered their love on Pathaan in countless different ways. And, that’s the reason why Pathaan became a blockbuster the day it was released.
From the day its release, Pathaan has shattered countless box office records.
And, now it managed to set another record – a very big one! The movie has surpassed Rs 1000 crore mark and has thus become the fifth Indian movie to do so.
Indian Movies That Crossed INR 1000 Crores Before Pathaan
From Dangal to Baahubali 2, there are only five Indian movies that crossed INR 1000 crores so far. Before Pathaan, Dangal (Rs. 1914 crores globally), Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (Rs. 1747 crores worldwide), KGF Chapter 2 (Rs. 1188 crores) and SS Rajamouli’s RRR (Rs. 1174 crores)
Here’s how fans and Bollywood industry celebrated this amazing milestone:
Officially #Pathaan1000crWorldWide now! 5th Indian film to enter the 1000cr club🔥
Was it the movie itself, or emotions over SRK that drove this movie to blockbuster status? Was there more to buying a ticket of #Pathaan than just enjoying an action movie?
