Boycott calls at home, ‘Pathaan’ shines abroad; See record Advance booking in Australia, Germany & UAE

New Delhi: Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s most anticipated film Pathaan has already become a phenomenal sensation in not just India but in the overseas markets as well.

Now that we can begin a 10-day count-down till its release on 25th January, in terms of domestic sales, Yash Raj Films are yet to open advance booking in India. Although Indian advance bookings wouldn’t be much of a surprise as hashtag ‘First Day First Show’ is trending on Twitter ever since the Pathaan’s trailer got released on 10th January.

However, the early response in the international market is noteworthy as Pathaan seems all set to be Shahrukh Khan’s biggest international blockbuster.
The movie is garnering remarkable pre-booking even in those countries where Indian cinema doesn’t have much hype.

1. Germany

Pathaan sold out theatres in Berlin and Hamburg before an entire month of its release. Advance booking window was opened in Germany in December. The film has already 8500 tickets in last week.

As of now, Shahrukh Khan’s Dilwale holds the record of the biggest opening in Germany with a first-day collection of £142983.

Pathaan will likely break that record with ease as it has sold tickets worth £125000 pre-release.

2. UAE

How can UAE be untouched by Pathaan’s magic when the Pathaan trailer was played right on Burj Khalifa? SRK comeback movie has already sold 3500 tickets in advance.

Earlier, Shahrukh Khan’s Raees opened at the highest with a sum of $350000 on the first day. Judging from its pre-release collection of Pathaan, it will also break this record.

3. Australia

Australia has not been a favorable market for Shahrukh Khan’s movies in past. But Pathaan will probably change that too. Currently, the advance booking collection is seating high at A$65000 with more than 3000 tickets sold.

Deepika Padukone would be breaking her previous record of Padmavat (A$364k) if Pathaan proves to be a hit in Australia.
