Pathaan has now surpassed the Rs 950-crore mark globally, and is eyeing the Rs 500-crore mark at the domestic box office collection. It has also become the second-biggest Hindi original grosser of all time in IMAX.

Pathaan, which released on January 25, is running a riot at the box office. Also starring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, the film took a bumper opening at the box office and it



doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. The film hit 144 IMAX screens worldwide in 21 markets. Eventually, it had the widest Indian release ever on IMAX. “Pathaan delivered the biggest opening day ever for an Indian film in IMAX,” Richard Gelfond, CEO, IMAX, told Economic Times. Reports also suggest that Pathaan had the number 1 IMAX initial weekend of all time in India. It beat films like KGF-Chapter 2, RRR, Avatar: The Way Of Water, 2017 film Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion.
