Distributed by Yash Raj Films and produced by Aditya Chopra and Alexander Dostal, Siddharth Anand's Pathaan was highly awaited by cine-goers, purely owing to the film marking Shah Rukh Khan's return to the silver screens after five long years.

The film released on 25 January. Early estimates claim that the Hindi version has garnered a whopping figure of Rs 67 crore, as its gross domestic collection, on the film's first day. Moreover, the film makes history by hitting 100 crore with its worldwide collection in mere 24 hours since its release.

Released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, Pathaan stars Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham in key roles.

A report by Box Office India also added how the spy thriller "smashed non-holiday records by leaps and bounds as 2017's Bahubali - The Conclusion (Hindi) was the biggest non-holiday opener before Pathaan.

Before Pathaan's release, trade analyst Taran Adarsh had claimed, "The film is going to take a historic start at the box office with opening day collections of ₹45-50 crore. The box office revival will begin with Pathaan, especially looking at its advance booking, which is very rare. It is a great start to 2023 despite being a working day.”
