‘Pathaan’ clocks $103 mn worldwide, becomes 1st Hindi film in global century BO club without China release

‘Pathaan’ the SRK comeback venture, has proven to be a bonafide box-office powerhouse.

The SRK-Deepika Padukone starrer has just crossed another milestone - it is now the first Hindi film to cross $100 million at the global box-office without a China release! According to a Deadline report, the espionage thriller accomplished this feat on the 12th day of its release. It’s current BO collection (worldwide) is a whopping $103 million (Rs 849 crore approximately)!

The Siddharth Anand directorial has minted a staggering Rs 526 crore ($64.2 million) domestically, and $39.4 million overseas according to the report.


The spy thriller is a surprise hit in the USA. With $14.3 million, the movie is the highest-earning Hindi movie there, surpassing the collections of ‘RRR’. If its dream run at the US box-office continues, the film may overtake ‘Baahubali’ to become the biggest Indian movie there.

The action thriller has also taken the Middle East by storm. It collected a total of $11.4 million from the UAE and the Gulf States on Sunday (6 January). It is the highest-grossing Indian film in UAE.
