Mumbai, January 25 - The most awaited film of the year Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan hit the screens today and there is no word to describe the mammoth opening of the film at the box office. The huge opening was always on the cards going by the advance sales. The advance suggested that the opening is going to be around 45cr but the mass centers have gone bonkers which enabled the film to record a huge walk-in audience and now we are witnessing history as Pathaan is heading toward 50+ crores net opening day. ## The early estimate suggests 50+ crores net mark and but this could go higher to 55 crores. The film has a shot to beat KGF2 to record the biggest opening ever in Hindi. It is certain to join KGF 2, War, and Thugs of Hindostan which collected 50cr net collections on their opening day. KGF2 is the Biggest opener ever at 53.95cr in the Hindi version and the question is whether Pathaan will beat KGF2 to emerge as the next record opener or not will only be answered tomorrow when the actual arrives. Pathaan might beat KGF2 or might remain behind by a few crores but one thing is sure in real value Pathaan is the biggest opener ever as all these 50cr openers were released on national holidays but here Pathaan smashed records on a working day which is unprecedented.## There is no recent film In the last few years that took an opening similar to the level of Pathaan be it on holiday or on holiday. The only film that comes to our mind is Dhoom3 released in 2013 which recorded similar mass hysteria on nonholiday. The national chains will record their highest collections ever and that too by a good margin. The mass centers will also record extraordinary numbers similar to what event films were registering before the pandemic. There will be many circuits that will see new highs in terms of collections with Nizam/Andhra probable one followed by West Bengal.## Shah Rukh Khan is back at the box office with a bang and proved why he is a superstar. He was written off after a series of failures but we believe, Superstars with massive fan following should never be written off. Also, Yash Raj Films deserves huge applause for presenting Shah Rukh Khan in a manner that the public wants to see him. In fact, Yash Raj Production house is the only production house that presents Superstars like Superstars be it Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. As long as Superstars are being presented as Superstars the records will keep shattering at the box office. ## The first day came on the strength of hype and star power and now it's important how the film behaves from here on. Tomorrow is a huge national holiday and this is the biggest plus of Pathaan as it is an already established blockbuster day before. Tomorrow the collections could go anywhere and the film will be in a position to break all-time records. The real target will be to achieve 100cr net in flat two days which is Sureshot.## Stay tuned...

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...

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...
