8th May 2023, Mumbai: Srk Starrer ‘Pathaan’ has achieved a remarkable milestone over the weekend. The movie has now crossed over 100 days in cinemas, which is a rare feat in recent times.
According to a veteran trade source, before Pathaan, only films like KGF, Kantara, and RRR had crossed the 100-day mark, leading to the narrative that South cinema is ruling the roost over Hindi cinema. However, Pathaan has blunted that narrative with its all-time highest-grossing Hindi film tag.
The source further added that Indian cinema is doing well, and that’s all that matters, given how the pandemic has affected the movie business across the country. Pathaan’s success not only in India but also globally, shows the unanimous love that the movie has received. It is a rare feat in recent times that demonstrates the power of cinema to bring people together.
Pathaan is also the highest-grossing film of the famed Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe that has delivered blockbuster hits like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and War. The movie’s success has taken the Spy Universe franchise to new heights, and it has proved to be a game-changer in the Hindi film industry. Pathaan’s box-office success has silenced critics who suggested that South Indian films were taking over the Hindi film industry.
The movie has set a new benchmark for the industry and proved that good content with talented actors can overcome language barriers and succeed on a global scale.
