Finally, Bollywood has a film in the top 5 Indian movies opening day worldwide. Thanks to Pathaan. The Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham action drama hit it out of the park on opening day with a gross of over 100 crore.
Pathaan is the first Bollywood movie to cross 100 crore in gross on its opening day at the worldwide box office. That puts it in the top 5 biggest Indian openers of all time, while the rest of the films are from South India. The pan-India craze has given a huge boost to the southern film industries, and therefore Bollywood has taken a backseat. But with Pathaan entering the 100 crore club on opening day, we are hopeful about an increase in the future.
