In global markets, the film has garnered more than Rs 259 crore in earnings.
The film release on January 25 and has been on a dream run since then. The movie not marked Bollywood’s king comeback but also reinforced his King Khan status once again. The film also stars Deepika Padukone & John Abraham in the lead roles, with direction by Siddharth Annad.
Another notable fact is the film turning out one of the biggest grosser of all times, despite boycott calls by right-wing groups. Infuriated over insult to saffron colour in one of the songs, the brigade wanted Pathaan makers to removed the disputed scene from the movie.
