Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, and Dimple Kapadia starrer “Pathaan” breached the Rs 1000 crore mark yesterday (February 21) and is still going strong in its fourth week of release globally. Day 29 box-office collections will be updated as soon as they are available.
The film also features Salman Khan in a small cameo role saving Pathaan in a breathtaking train sequence. He hints that even Shahrukh will play a role in his upcoming spy action-thriller “Tiger 3”.

This SRK spy-thriller is the fifth Indian film to have crossed the Rs 1000 cr mark worldwide after Dangal (Rs 1968.03 cr), “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion” (Rs 1747 cr), “KGF: Chapter 2” (Rs 1188 cr) and “RRR” (Rs 1174 cr). “Pathaan” hit the mark without being released in China.
Controversies surrounding ‘Pathan’ Besharam Rang song
Just before the movie’s release, a section of the population in India objected to the saffron color bikini dress worn by Deepika Padukone in the film. On 17 January 2023, during the BJP national executive meeting in New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi told his party workers and leaders to refrain from making unnecessary remarks on films.
