Pathaan collected more than the opening day on its second day, which was Republic Day 2023.
Pathaan made additional history on its second day when it broke its own record for the highest day ever, which it had achieved on the previous day (Rs. 55 crore), by earning an absurd Rs. 68 crore nett, approx. on day two in Hindi, and with the dubbed versions, the total is probably beyond Rs. 70 crore nett. These numbers are just too big to understand, and what happened in 2022 makes it even harder to do so. The market is there and has been since ticket prices were lower, but being present and taking action are two different things.
The movie already had the third-highest weekend ever, behind KGF 2 (in Hindi) and Baahubali: The Conclusion (in Hindi). Today, it will easily surpass those films and set new records with its incredible 123 crore nett in two days.
With the possible exception of East Punjab and CI, the collections for the second day indicate the highest figures in all circuits. The final number from East Punjab is still to emerge, and that could be a few lakhs short as well. CI is a few lakhs short of KGF2 Day 1. The history of how he got from Delhi/UP to Bihar to West Bengal to Mumbai can be found elsewhere.
As stardom, canvas, and content come together in this picture, the Delhi/UP number will be of a sort that was inconceivable and unheard of. This combination has always been fatal in this circuit, whether it was in the 1950s, 1980s, or present day.
As per Box Office India, after an amazing first day, the South's collections stayed the same, but the East's collections went up as this part of the country reached a new level. Key places in the movie were in Gujarat, CPCI, and Rajasthan, and these circuits have grown by 40–50%. Madhya Pradesh experienced protests on day one, which negatively impacted commerce. Other regions also experienced this, but Madhya Pradesh was the hardest hit. Due to the incredible success of the movie, there were fewer problems on day two. After Gangubai Kathiawadi, Brahmastra, and now Pathaan, this is the latest example of how the box office just wipes out all the bad things.
After the major holiday, the movie will likely have a decline in sales on Friday that could be as high as 50%, but it will pick up steam once more throughout the weekend for a lengthy five-day weekend.
The Pathaan (Hindi) two-day collections are as follows:
Friday: Rs. 55 crore approx
Saturday: Rs. 68 crore approx
TOTAL: Rs. 123 crore approx
