The movie on its 9 day of release, earned a whopping Rs 15.65 crore, a figure which many movie with big starcast don’t fetch on Day 1. The movie is going strong and is witnessing big turnout in regional languages as well as global markets.
Domestically, the Yash Raj banner films has earned more than Rs 350 crore so far and is only likely to muster more in coming days. It could well become the only Bollywood movie entering Rs 400 club in domestic earnings.

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.
