Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has broken yet another box office record by becoming the fastest film to reach the Rs. 300 crore club in four days. Pathaan day 4 box office collection revealed that the film earned more than Rs. 55 crore on its fourth day of release in India. In India, the film earned Rs. 57 crore on its first day, Rs. 70.50 crore on the second day, Rs. 39.25 crore on the third day, and now Rs. 55.75 crore on Saturday. The slight drop on the third day was largely due to the fact that it was the first working day following the 26th of January, India’s national holiday.
Outlining Pathaan day 4 box office collection, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter, “PATHAAN’: ₹ 313 CR WORLDWIDE *GROSS* IN 3 DAYS… #Pathaan is the FASTEST #Hindi film to breach ₹ 300 cr mark [GROSS] in *3 days*… WORLDWIDE [#India + #Overseas] *Gross* BOC… *3 days*…

As for pan-India business, Box Office Worldwide tweeted, “#Pathaan All India Domestic Numbers Day wise break up #ShahRukhKhan #PathaanMovie #Pathan THIS IS HISTORIC,Tomorrow 280 cr will be breached.

Pathaan has already surpassed the box office records of KGF 2 and Bahubali 2 in the first three days of its release.
The f1lm’s unprecedented success is significant given that it faced widespread boycott calls from India’s Hindutva brigade. Powerful BJP leaders have also expressed their support for the boycott calls. Narottam Mishra, the Home Minister of Madhya Pradesh, had objected to the film’s song, Besharm Rang.
The stylish spy thriller, which marked Shah Rukh’s return to the big screen after over four years, also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Pathaan is directed by Siddharth Anand.
