Box Office Prediction: Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan Eyes Historic Opening

Mumbai, January 19 - The Bollywood film industry is bracing itself for the blockbuster start of the year, thanks to Shah Rukh Khan-fronted spy action thriller Pathaan which is scheduled to hit big screens on January 25. The buzz for the movie is sky-high and the industry is anticipating something big with this Yash Raj Films' biggie. ## The advance booking for the movie was opened yesterday, and as you read this, it has already sold over 5 lakh tickets, including 260K in three national chains (PVR, Inox & Cinepolis) for the opening day in all formats. ## The advance booking collection of "Pathaan" has already crossed most of the Bollywood films' pre-sales post the covid-19 pandemic, and by tomorrow, it will be behind only "Brahmastra" which sold approx. 6 lakh tickets for the opening day in advance. The movie also stands a chance to cross "Brahmatra" opening day pre-sales by tomorrow or the day after.## As per the industry insiders, "Pathaan" will be released on over 4500 screens for the Hindi version, making it one of the biggest releases ever. The industry is anticipating a 30+ crores opening, however, looking at the pace of the advances and the genuine excitement among the moviegoers, the opening of 40+ crores should be a cakewalk. ## Returning to advance booking, "Pathaan" will be aiming to challenge "War" opening day advance booking numbers (32+ crores). Considering that and other aspects, the aforementioned opening day prediction can be termed conservative and final numbers might be in the 45-50 crores range. The movie stands a chance to emerge as the biggest non-holiday opener in Hindi. ## "Pathaan", also starring John Abraham and Deepika Padukone is a Wednesday-day release so the next day, January 26 could see higher numbers due to the Republic Day holiday, and if it gets favorable reviews, the 5-day opening weekend might be in the range of 200 crores net. ## Stay tuned...

Pathaan Advance Booking Jets Off To Supersonic Start In India

Mumbai, January 18 - Yash Raj Films has opened the advance booking of its highly-anticipated spy action thriller Pathaan on limited screens in IMAX, 4DX, and 2D formats. ## The full-fledged advance booking of this Shah Rukh Khan-fronted will kickstart from January 20, but ahead of that, the response to limited pre-sales is terrific, to say the least. The same is being seen overseas where advances opened 15 days before the release.## The advance booking post the covid-19 pandemic hasn't really created much interest within the Bollywood industry except for "Brahmastra" but here, "Pathaan" has given an early indication of what's coming. The total advance booking gross collection of the movie is nearing 10 crores in all formats.## The premium formats were witnessing higher pre-sales in early numbers with 4DX shows and IMAX shows being fast-filling, but now, the 2D format is also having good pre-sales. The booking in 2D format is starting gradually and it is expected to create havoc by tomorrow if the same momentum goes on. The movie has already sold over 1 lakh tickets in three national chains (INOX, PVR, and Cinepolis) in just 15 hours.## The iconic Prasads Multiplex in Hyderabad was the first to open the booking and within two hours, it sold over 1800 tickets. Currently, there are 14 shows in Prasads and all are in fas-filling mode. The buzz around the movie is sky-high and it should beat the advances of "Brahmastra" easily.## The audience's word of mouth has become the most important thing for a movie to succeed but "Pathaan" seems to be one of those movies that will do well irrespective of reviews unless those are not worst. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie is scheduled to release on January 25 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. ## Stay tuned...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Slams 'Boycott Bollywood' Trend

Mumbai, January 18 - Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly slammed the "Boycott Bollywood" trend on social media. Amid the row over Bollywood films, PM Modi on Tuesday told Bharatiya Janata Party workers and leaders to refrain from making unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues like movies. ## In recent times, several Bollywood films have been at the center of controversies as they have faced allegations of hurting Hindu sentiments and culture. The latest on the trend is Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" which is scheduled to release on January 25. The movie is getting heavy criticism for its song "Besharam Rang". ## Prime Minister Modi's remarks came on the second day of the BJP's national executive meeting, where he suggested that unnecessary remarks on irrelevant issues such as movies put the party's development agenda on the back burner, according to Hindustan Times. ## Earlier, Om Raut's "Adipurush" also faced boycott calls. The movie is based on Ramayana and Madhya Pradesh home minister and BJP leader Narottam Mishra had warned the makers of legal action if scenes showing Hindu religious figures in an allegedly wrong manner were not removed. ## "Adipurush" is now scheduled to release on June 16, 2023, and the makers will be hoping that after PM Modi's intervention, the boycott calls would be put to rest and the movie would be able to get a smooth release. ## Stay tuned...
