In the final moments of Pathaan’s teaser, Shah Rukh Khan says, “Kursi ki peti baandh lo,” hinting at a dizzying ride ahead. Well, the ride has begun, and if the advance bookings are any indication, the superstar’s legion of fans have signed up for it. The spy thriller, which opens in over 4,500 screens in India today, has already set a record — having sold 4.88 lakh tickets till Tuesday evening, it has surpassed Hrithik Roshan’s War (2019) to register the highest advance-ticket sales for a Hindi film.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh terms it an endorsement of the superstardom of Khan, who returns to the big screen after over four years. “We had a disastrous 2022. So, this [kind of opening] will not only benefit Shah Rukh or Yash Raj Films, but everyone who has worked on the film. Despite it being a working Wednesday, the film could open at Rs 45-50 crore,” he shares.
