Pathaan, which will hit theatres on January 25th, will mark Shah Rukh Khan's triumphant comeback. Moviegoers have been waiting for booking to begin as the release date approaches. Since yesterday, shows have suddenly started to be posted for online reservations, and the response has been phenomenal. With all the buzz, industry insiders predict a roaring start at the box office, and all you need to know is below!

We haven't seen SRK in a major movie lead role in a very long time. It was the 2018 film Zero, in which the actor starred. King Khan is currently making his comeback, and he and his followers are anticipating the box office devastation in the hopes that the missing touch will be restored. The good news is that the first patterns in booking have been extremely favorable for the magnum opus.

Trade expert Taran Adarsh predicted that Pathaan's first day would be significant. Everything is lined up for an amazing, earth-shattering opening. Day 1's results will surprise you in a good way. People will receive a zap. No movie in recent memory has been able to create the kind of mania that this one has. KGF - Chapter 2 is the last movie of this type I can recall (2022). Even War (2019) was so exciting, compared to how War se zyada crazes now.

He continued, "I anticipate a day 1 revenue of at least Rs. 40 crore." Depending on the number of screens and the shows, it may go even further. He said "Yes. It can happen. Don’t rule out any possibility.” when asked if Pathaan could debut at 50 crores.

The owner of Entertainment Paradise in Jaipur, Raj Bansal, exclaimed enthusiastically, "It'll be the greatest non-holiday opening ever. The first day's sales are expected to be in the range of Rs. 45 to 50 crores. It is an unprecedented frenzy. Interestingly, there wasn't as much craze last week. But it's getting higher and higher with each hour that passes.

As of right now, Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion (2017), which made Rs. 41 crores on its first day, is the movie with the greatest non-holiday opening. If Raj Bansal's forecast comes true, Pathaan may be able to beat this record, which would be a tremendous accomplishment.

Exhibitor Akshaye Rathi commented on the Pathaan mania, saying, "The first-day collection of the film is going to reach 35 crores and it is enormous given it is a working Wednesday and I expect it to go beyond 45 crores on January 26." Shah Rukh Khan hasn't had a release in a while, and the recent ones didn't measure up to the standards of a Shah Rukh Khan picture, but it is indisputable that his celebrity has developed for thirty years. A few dud movies won't change that. This is a result of his fans returning with a vengeance, as you can see.

Producer and industry expert Girish Johar is also convinced that Pathaan will dominate the box office both domestically and abroad. It will require a strong beginning on Wednesday, January 25, a non-holiday. I estimate a starting budget of 35 to 37 crores. It will be a great start if it falls within this range. We have a long weekend coming up and a holiday on January 26. If the movie makes even 10 to 12 million dollars in its first five days, and everything goes according to plan, we could see a global box office of 300 crores from the first five days, according to Johar. The movie can also perform incredibly well in foreign markets.
