Pathaan, today\u2019s massive release (and that\u2019s an understatement), continues to rack up the hits. Shah Rukh Khan\u2019s latest film broke another record on its first day, with trade expert Taran Adarsh reporting that 300 additional shows were added after the first day first show.
Pathaan now has the most screens of any Hindi release, with 8,000 screens worldwide. 2,500 of these are in other nations \u2013 Pathaan has opened in over 100 countries, which is also a record.
Deepika Padukone and John Abraham play crucial parts in the spy thriller, which stars Shah Rukh Khan as the main character.
\u201cUnprecedented: Pathaan shows increased, screen count all-time highest (Hindi),\u201d Taran Adarsh tweeted. Exhibitors raised the number of screen by 300 soon after the first show. The total number of screens in the world has now reached 8,000. India has 5,500 screens, whereas the rest of the world has 2,500.
Pathaan sold 5.5 lakh advance tickets on its first day. Baahubali: The Conclusion holds the record (for Hindi and Hindi-dubbed films), with Pathaan coming in second. The top 5 is completed by KGF: Chapter 2, War and Thugs Of Hindostan (which later tanked and should serve as a cautionary lesson against celebrating too early).
Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan is part of the spy world created by Yash Raj Films, which also includes the Tiger films starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, and War featuring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff. Shah Rukh Khan, in his first starring role since 2018\u2019s Zero, plays Pathaan, a RAW agent sent from the desert to combat a terror threat.
Pathaan hooks up with Deepika Padukone\u2019s character to take on terrorist commander Jim (John Abraham).
Meanwhile, the film has also been facing the wrath of Hindu outfits in many states including Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, where protests have erupted against the screening of Pathaan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
