All the big production houses as were waiting what kind of films to make after the pandemic. Latest is that everyone is announcing sequels, sequels and more sequels.
Not as if these guys cant produce original scripts. They have a stash of screenplays always lying around in their office. Can’t they do some hard work and at least read through some of them?
That’s how the script of Delhi Belly was discovered, apparently
After #Selfiee’s debacle, what should #AkshayKumar do to get back into the top league? Trade experts share their views: “He should do hardcore action films; it’ll be great to see him in the Dhoom series”@akshaykumarhttps://t.co/tiqHXaSdYI
£3 and £4 million – Pathaan(2023) did the job on both these benchmarks as it takes the business in United Kingdom to another level. It is the biggest blockbuster in UK since Kabhi Khush Kabhie Gham and it is only Shahrukh Khan who can break this record and even target the next benchmark which is £5 million. Pathaan will probably end up with around £4.4 million mark.
************************
As I mentioned earlier breaking £2.7 million record and touching £3 million it would have been considered huge but Pathaan did £4 million, and that during not holiday season and its the best record of Pathaan all over.
2nd best record will be India’s domestic collections around 515 cr Nett, and 3rd best record will be US all time Hindi grosser with $17.5 million.
UAE’s record is also very credible along with Australia.
LMAO, seems like too much extra Burnol was purchased at the time of TKF.
Ab gift kara raha hai .

Achcha hai , Maza aa rhah hai, LOL
I am shocked to see #BhushanKumar name on screen as PRODUCER of #Bheed…. Someone who has seen industry so closely, someone who is known for his hardwork for industry, someone who understands the mood of nation about Bollywood, how on earth he came along as producer…. Shocked!!
EXCLUSIVE: #AkshayKumar’s concert #TheEntertainers kicks off with a "HOUSEFULL" show in Atlanta – Promoter, #HimanshuGarg confirms the news by saying, "Akshay Kumar is performing live after a long time and that has created the right noise for the concert"https://t.co/8ea0FzJaTj
Rohit Jaiswal too exposing toolkit, then the Jihadis blame GOB

And baar baar taking Naveen’s name as if he’s banned from here. He has full access to the blog and no one has confirmed that he’s the same Naveen as well. Irrespective once someone’s a public influencer and open on twitter, it’s public account and free to discuss as we discuss Sumits and others. Just same rona dhona…bore nahi hote yeh log…ab toh role ki aadat bhi padh gayi shayad…Pathaan ke success ke baad.
Daily uthna, Pathaan collections dekhna, rona and phir sona. 😆
Imagine how sick those people mind are who come up with “$5 Tee” as a topic.
I don’t think Hindi film history ever had anyone like SRK where people are so jealous of him, hates him without SRK knowing them or having done anything wrong to them.
I have posted a LINK that corroborates how fashion played a very important role in post-liberalized India: The clothes worn by Kajol, SRK, and Rani are discussed till date were discussed back heavily even then. If you have the guts, and this sandbagger Z, then respond to the PROOF I have provided; not running away saying PHIR KABHI AANA.
I have mentioned right from the the beginning that I had all positive vibes regarding PATHAAN when I saw the trailer; I saw the deceptions also when SRK used the very cloak of present disposition for PATHAAN, and wrote about it giving clear explanations. If you have an alternate ‘logical’ explanation for that, that the FASHION of KKHH and DTPH’s Karishma’s leotards and SRK’s fake-Manhattan style apartment style developed. They went along with the times? Don’t you even understand that? Nothing wrong with that. Did Aamir or Juhi make a fashion statement with QSQT? Did SRK himself make any fashion statement with KHKN?
What’s happened to you that you have reduced yourself to these 3rd rate -2nd grade kids’ Burnol statements. There was a time when I so looked forward to your capsule reviews of films that would help me decide whether to watch in theaters or wait for DVD or OTT or whatever. I don’t think any woman has ever orgasmed and given out meaningless moans like you. It is sad to see a better analytical mind and lover of cinema like you fall to this level. PATHAAN has done more than its job. It would have done its job in a demoralized industry even at 300 or 350k. It’s good that it even exceeded that expectation. Do you remember anybody fighting like kiddies in shittie diapers fighting as to how many rupees and anaas SHOLAY made versus MEA? Both are remember in equal reverence, and not for such kind if imbecile discussions.
Talk of time-lines, of periods of cultural import, and then counter me, and I will gracefully accept if I am proven wrong.
It seems like you psychiatrists are enjoying some folks ‘burning’ with jealousy even more than the mega-success of PATHAN.
Ask this sandbagger anylist Z, and a so-called-citizen of the top 10 mis-fortune companies who cannot spell ‘racism’ inspite of Bill Gates’ review feeding him corrections [and is so dumb enough that he doesn’t even understand Tony’s sarcasm about bums on seat left/right/mid and is responding to him in a matter-of-fashion!!] if Indians in the US aren’t excited — anyway he or she or it or whatever has been exposed by talking of philosophy of SRK/AB/DP’s tickets’ not being sold or correlation to food on the table now turning a total turncoat on his philosophy and ‘enjoying’ BURNOL moments — about discounts on these kind of clothes, and if we don’t look for the cheapest price and WAIT for discounts. It is not like SRK and KJo will wish away 50$ for a fashion statement that can be made in 5$.
The only logical/decent persons who have discussed the ‘merits’ and ‘de-merits’ of the film are Aman Basha [he had the guts to mention that he or his friend witnessed many many women in Burkha (hope they have seen the film) and Krish: Actually even Master ‘s and Z’s reviews were not very very flattering. So I am glad that at least at that level, there still seems to be some cinema-viewing and reviewing/feed-back honesty. But BO, is different matter altogether. When you have a person like KRISH or even Gujju Boy providing statistical data and analysis, why the worry? There will be nay-sayers, ignore them! Numbers will prove the point; 50-60 crores here and there: I don’t care. The film has done better than expected and it is good.
Anyway, just commenting on the ratio of box office baniya discussions rather than quality of the film…
Goof luck and continue with outstanding discussions like BURNOL and baby-wet tissue-wipes.
A very good thing Sanjana left the blog; and even better that Naveen is missing. Saket’s missing as well.
– Sanjana left because of Shivaay.
– Naveen left because akshays disaster after disaster
– saket left because he was fully exposed with his srk hate during srks son illegal arrest and how all the evidence came out against the illegal raid. saket knew as soon as the evidence starts coming out srk fan would troll him so saket did what most srk haters do, run away.
If say burnol moment for haters, it’s not referring to you anyways and jisko lagna tha usko lagi. You have no words for constant racist and hated comments and you have problem me replying to such folks? Anyways, I’ve been labeled as nothing that just Srk fan even after posting for a decade for all kinds of movies. Even I was the only one who went to watch Uunchai and Drishyam 2 in cinemas but folks have no reading of that anymore. You are labeled hater or lover if we criticize movies here. If I say Uunchai lacked that spark and came across as outdated, no one is taking it positively. I didn’t even care to review Jhund with all you guys going ga-ga over it, and it turned out very average affair in the end. I didn’t run away during Kashmir Files and neither during Srk’s flops and I don’t need to worry about superficial stuff. Out of all, folks now have problem with celebrating Pathaan’s success, which isn’t a movie of my type and I didn’t go ga-ga over it as well. Either ways, I’ve seen enough of your ‘likes’ on stupid, hatred comments and I have nothing more to add. You can ignore me if you want but I know what I’m and still the only one of movie lovers here and the amount of movies I watch and know are not worth mentioning here. Anyways.
That’s not true, I love movies too. I just don’t have fanatics views towards it like how some have here (not you) where you can’t say anything about their favs. If you say Unchaai doing 70 lacs on day 11 is bad, some people lose their mind. It’s like they want bachchan to be treated like he delivered sholay with every movie when truth is last blockbuster was like 4 decades ago.
you can’t provide any type of constructive criticism and then everything gets blancketed into “at this age” excuse.
I was the first one who posted somewhat negative views about Pathaan AFTER seeing it. Go look at all of my SRK film reviews that i’ve watched and they’re bang on. nevermind 5 star, you won’t even see 4 star for any of them from me.
Problem is some here like to talk hindu/muslim stuff which some have no issues with but comes in gun blazzing when someone gets a monday box office collection prediction wrong (not to mention naveen got pathaan day 1 wrong by 40 cr and we saw how incorrect tonymontana has been).
quite frankly, anjo comes across as very phony person, and when gets called out, starts playing victim card. Wants to blame everyone else but time to look at yourself.
Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar is coming this week to teach a lesson to Pathaan. All hail the North Indian Ranbir Kapoor!
SRK will have his bubble bursted by the darling of the youth RK.
Pathaan Records Excellent Fifth Week

Pathaan had superb hold in its fifth week as it collected 8.50 crore nett taking its total over 505 crore nett. The fifth week saw the film dropping under 40% which is the best weekly trend for the film since release. the lower collections and Selfiee making it like an open week helped..
ADVERTISEMENT
The fifth week collections of the film are the seventh highest ever and are similar to the likes of Dangal and Drishyam 2. Pathaan should again record strong business in its sixth weekend as it is the only film people are coming to watch and there is no new release of note.
Pathaan will beat the numbers of Bahubali – The Conclusion as it heads for a total of 510 crore nett plus. The film could even reach 515 crore nett but that will depend on what happens post Holi.. The collections of Pathaan (Hindi) till date are as follows.
À 6th week of 5.5cr is possible, abd if it do that, on Thursday it will also be at number one on BOI
I think it can be 0.7 1.3 1.7 = 3.7 cr week-end
0.5 0.5 0.8 ( holi) 0.3 Thursday around 5.8cr
I am a bit unclear on how this 1 on 1 offer works. But purely on occupancy it is double today that of yesterday and also in more number of screens. I dont know how to put a number to this occupancy.
I think 6th week will be bigger than 5th week surely in terms of occupancy
Don’t get caught up in occupancy % because today it’s playing on more screens then it did week 5.
Buy 1 get 1 free will reduce collection but number of people watching will increase so overall the collection may stay same as 5th weekend which will be outstanding…
What a BLESSING Day it will be today for SRK, SRK Fans, Hindi Film Industry as a whole.
I will surely take a moment and enjoy it but at the same time, I do hope the records gets broken not too far from now, hopefully by another “HINDI” film and not a film from south.
I’m pretty sure this was a show of Selfie and the song being played was the reprised Mai Khiladi Tu Anari.
If you know basic video editing skills, it’s no big deal replacing the screen with Pathaan’s end credits song.
Congratulations @Krish. The first time Pathaan teaser was launched and I posted, the first comment/reaction was by you saying… “didn’t think it had this much action, if half decent script, sky is the limit”
Congrats, it has touched the Sky today at 511 crores Nett (besides doing 1025 crs worldwide). Unbelievable thoughts prior to Nov 2nd teaser! It’s funny to read everyone dismissive tone on that teaser saying SRK is past his prime how Pathaan will crash from day 1 and how it will be another Race 3 and how it won’t cross War and how Sid Anand will never make a better or bigger hit than Hrithik’s movie. Lol.
Yeah great stuff all around. Also I think the rest of the year will actually put Pathaan’s achievement in the right perspective. I really doubt any movie will catch it and apart from 3-4 movies not many have a chance to go past 300crs.
That combo of a superstar + advance + front loadedness + Action + Holiday on second day + WOM + 3 open weeks + poor movies for next 2 months is a major alignment of things. You might tick some of the boxes but not all the boxes and thats true even for jawaan 🙂
One thing I realized is that to touch 500 crs or that sort of business you need 2 factors.
1) Extremely high interest and buzz and fantastic opening
2) Very good content and possibly repeat watch
If you have average buzz and content is outstanding, it can do 350 crs or go near 400 but can’t become highest grosser. If you have excellent buzz but content is below average, you can do 300 crs. Both factors should matter and there should be enough excitement in audience to watch the movie. Most of them are interested but wait for the feedback or WOM. You can’t depend just on WOM if audience is not even interested to watch the movie.
Secondly, no other producer has given daily collections, if you do that you become restricted in pumping fake collections and no one, I repeat apart from YRF would have been this transparent and confident on giving daily collections. . If this was some other production house, it would reported 550 and nearing to 600 crores especially first couple of weeks.So, kudos to YRF for this daily collections.
Every Srk fan on Twitter is watching today as it’s the day its breaking BB2 and many are going with 5-6 as it’s like 50 rupees ticket. I think it’ll touch 1 cr today, not sure more.
Another day when ATP fell, another day when total collections go up! I hope rest of Bollywood is watching. It happened with cinema day in a much more exaggerated way.
BB2 slow down after week 5, making 500cr at the end of that week
pathan week 6 have a chance to be better than BB2 week six, since week 2 BB2 always have way better weeks than pathan , but pathan week 1 7 days and days was humungous, over 100cr lead to BB2 week 1
I think Hera Pheri may not do well if the humor is same as what is was before.
If you look at most akshay films from that era, it was basically he was copying umar shariff and many pakistani comedy stage play actors. Everything from body movement to dialogue delivery.
I don’t think audience is interested in that type of humor anymore.
YRF trying every trick in the book to make it go past Bahubali. They should take it easy and let it do as much as it can. This is inorganic and unhealthy and not a good precedent for future films. Or they will hoist with their own petard going forward.
Haan bhai maan liya SRK has the pull and is one of the top stars and Pathaan is a super successful film. They should leave it at that
When I said same SRK fanboys pounced on me. Look, Pathaan is ATBB. No doubt about that but nothing look organic in Pathann mania. No MEME on social media, no dialogue is famous. No song is used in pandemic called Reels on Insta. Now compare this to any other film, Except KGF2, even Pushpa has Flower samjha kya, fire hai. Pushpa jhukega nahin sala and that trademark hand gesture. There are 100s of MEME on Bahubali and other film. I am not saying that this should be the only criteria but it shows the craze of a film.
AnJo, cut Z some slack. He is a very decent man ‘but’ an SRK fan. His fandom prompted him to propose a woman by writing a love letter on a maple leaf and got booked U/S 294. That’s what you get after listening to schizophrenic men dancing with dead girlfriends.
That’s the issue, being a SRK fan is some sort of sin for bachchan fanatics.
And SRK “at this age of 55+” giving an ATBB is a great sin…
Someone coming here posting raciest remarks is perfectly okay but me predicting “9 Cr” for monday was some sort of sinister activity when i was just giving my prediction based on me not liking the movie that much and we’ve seen many movies crash after first weekend and in pathaan case, which released on Wednesday, 5 days would have already passed before 1st monday. Others have gotten pridection lot worse then mine but that is okay.
If you’re okay with raciest remarks but has issue with 9 cr then i have no liking for that type of phony person.
It’s no use talking about those racist remarks. Gala phaad ke thak gaya but those continue to exist.
Ab un cheezo se upar uth gaya hu. Tum bhi uth jao aur mohabbat karo ❤️
Schizophrenic mohabbat nahi, actual mohabbat
Nafrat ko sirf mohabbat se jeeta ja sakta hai
Keep sandbagging and let those 9 crore predictions coming.
An Jo sirf apno se mohabbat karta hai aur jhagadta bhi unhi se hai. (Apart from liking mega-racist comments every now and then when he seeks closure 😎)
Tony: I will respond to the anylist that called me a phony and the other moles brick-by-brick and expose him or her or it ; am in the midst of a stupendous India visit; but wil not spare anyone..There will be be more PHIR KABHI AANA…,
When everyone is trolling, Pathaan didnt cross Baahubali 2 when combined in all languages, Baahubali’s producers appreciation tweet has ended the debate! Give credit where its due and move on!!
It’s an open secret that these theatres and distribution chains are secretly owned by YRF. They’ve sent their field agents to stand next to the ticket counter. Their job is arm-twisting the cinema patrons wanting to watch Selfie/Shehzada into buying tickets for Pathaan instead or else they’ll play Befikre in the screening.
-> If ever you wanted a peek into the lives of legendary scientists like CV Raman, Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai & APJ Kalam beyond what you’ve read in your high school science textbooks, this is the show to watch. Beyond all the genius in their brains, the screenplay successfully captures the humane aspects of these men, their relationships, their turmoil, their triumphs and tribulations in a way no other film or TV show has thus far.
-> A brisk screenplay by Abhay Pannu that seldom has a dull moment and despite running over a timeline of over 2 decades, manages to capture the iconic moments of pre and post independent India with precision. The performances by the entire cast of talented artists like Ishwak Singh, Regina, Rajit Kapur, TM Kartik, Dibyendu Bhattacharya etc. is endearing yet its Jim Sarbh’s astonishingly prefect act (ironically playing the perfectionist himself; Dr. Bhabha) that stays with you for the longest of all durations. Safe to say this chap is one of India’s finest on screen talents right now.
-> If you ever wanted a lesson on the real value & definition of patriotism minus all the chest thumping and bogus secular left sermons, Rocket Boys is the show to watch (or should I say hear!). From the undercurrent of rage simmering beneath the calm demeanor of Dr. CV Raman at a British officer’s taunts to Dr. Bhabha and Sarabhai daring to hoist the flag on the rooftop of IISc Bangalore, subtle and contextual moments of nationalism are on ample display right through this 8 episode web series (to an extent where the viewer’s made to believe Dr. Bhabha’s nuclear ambitions being one of personal glory when factually all he desired was to see India as a capable self sufficient nation state in the aftermath of the tragic Sino Indian war) the most resounding moment being Dr. Kalam’s dialogue “Barbaad gulistan karne ko bas ek hee ullu kaafi hai, Har shaakh pe ullu baithe hain, anjaam-e-gulistan kya hoga” (more specifically applicable in these phony secular times of internal sleeper cells, quasi Muslim victimization and few members of a certain community specifically watching content involving only the Khan’s to hammer home their point of “Islam above nation”).
-> the negatives are few and far between but one of the major one’s I noticed was the writer’s unwillingness to name and shame rogue agencies like the CIA and the Chinese (for their war mongering tactics) despite ample evidence of the abhorrent efforts by rogue uncle Sam to sabotage India’s space and nuclear program. Shares similarities with Vivek Ranjan’s “play it safe” approach in Kashmir Files where there was no mention of the American funded ISI’s hand in the Kashmir insurgency.
Nevertheless a well made, well written and well enacted series that deserves a sequel. Easily one of the best from India’s OTT library.
India’s best web series’ so far :
1. Scam 92 (Sony)
2. Farzi (Amazon)
3. Rocket Boys (Sony)
4. Mukhbir (Zee 5)
5. Asur (Voot)
6. Family Man (Amazon)
7. Special ops (Hotstar)
The despicably overrated – Mirzapur, Sacred Games, Pataal Lok
Lost opportunity – Tanaav (remake of Fauda) on Sony thanks to Arbaaz Khan’s lead casting.
Pathaan’s box office GROSS is at ₹ 638 Cr (all versions) still 70 Cr short of Bahubali 2s GROSS collection of ₹ 708 Cr (Hindi only). Krish correct me if I’m wrong (since imbecile SRK fanatics wouldn’t like this), aren’t records meant to be broken in terms of GROSS figures? (Nett is always a variable especially since Bahubali 2 came pre GST). Highly hyperbolic and shambolic of Bollywood trade to manipulate and misreport. For the nincompoops who’re now gonna accuse me of hater this blah blah blah, this isn’t the first time Bollywood trade is indulging in such unethical practices. The exact scenario took place in 2006 (when BOI was newly launched and online portals were still fighting for viewership) when Krrish & Dhoom 2 were reported to have higher collections than Gadar based on NETT figures while the GROSS numbers were at least 20 Cr short of Gadar. The record breakers in REAL terms post 2000 continue to be Gadar, Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3, PK, Dangal and Bahubali 2 with Gadar and Bahubali 2 (Hindi) being the only record breakers when adjusted for inflation. Everything else is clickbait & hyperbole regardless of whosoever is your idol.
South do go by gross and DS even now. Not sure when Bollywood moved to net but it’s been long time they have stuck to net probably because that’s what decides the DS. Footfalls and gross are rarely reported in BW.
Pathaan footfalls will be round 3.25 lacs I think
3.25 crores footfalls which is highest post pandemic. BTW, it’s not as if not all this was done to favor Pathaan. It’s been always the norm and I didn’t see this noise being mentioned all these years and when War also did 300 crores. It’s not like it only benefits Srk movie and flops like LSC which flopped at 59 crores wouldn’t have touched 50 crores pre-gst. The only main point about Pathaan and which is being mentioned everywhere that it’s getting the similar footfalls of prepandmic movies. Baahubali 2 got huge benefit as it came during best phase of movies where from 2013 to 2018 we had consistent around 300 crore movies and it gave Baahubali the additional push to go 25-30% further than previous biggest hit. Now, Pathaan came at a time where 300 crs also looked doubtful and it doing 500 crores is very credible. We will have all kinds of excuses put out to undermine it’s success. Yes, this should have been mentioned prior to the business. As Jayshah says, you beat what is infront of you. If the target was 700 crs gross, we would have another debate and another movie.
It’s obvious; Bahubali has been the biggest hit in real terms since Gadar.
If we strictly talk about all India successes of all time, Sholay and Bahubali will be at the top with 10 crore+ footfalls. No comparison whatsoever. HAHK would be next with 7 crore + admits (a long shot), followed by the Gadars, DDLJs and Muqaddar Ka Sikandars.
But then these were eras of re runs & extended runs. BB2 did the same in a different era. Talks of Pathaan breaking records in post pandemic “tough” times is nullified if you look at how even dubbed films like KGF 2 & RRR did last year (immediately post the omicron wave) or small ones like TKF & Bhool Bhulaiya 2. A rejected film today has far lower potential than 2019 but its also true that an accepted larger than life extravaganza film has far far higher potential than pre pandemic times.
RRR didn’t even touch 300 crs in Hindi and KGF2 is again sequel like Baahubali 2. It’s very hard to for a new movie to do 500 crores anytime. We can also argue that if Pathaan can do 625 gross post pandemic, it would have done 700 crs pre-pandemic. It’s samething. Solo films to do 500 crs is still huge target, both KGF2 and Baahubali were sequels of huge boxofficr and satellite winners. Next in that line will be Pushpa 2. Again, part 1 of any of such films or anything in future can dream to do even 300 crores.
You can spin the argument whichever way you want. RRR was an independent film which did over 900 Cr gross pan India in all versions, something Pathaan is nowhere close to at a pan India level despite being part of a franchise. Its a Blockbuster alright but doesn’t merit a place among the Bahubali’s and Gadar’s of cinema. Even SRK fans themselves would never rate this ahead of DDLJ or even KKHH.
You are mixing 2 things whenever you want to. We’re talking about hindi grosser. One can’t do or compare with regional collections at all. I’ve mentioned earlier that movie watching fanaticism is very high in South India and each state can do over 300-400 crs alone for their highest grossers and Hindi audience is different and hardly 1-2% watch movies.
Two things which are facts and I don’t know why it’s hard to digest for many.
1) Pathaan is highest Nett grosser for any Hindi film.
2) Pathaan is highest grosser worldwide for Hindi movie( or any single language movie) which did 1000 crs alone.
You can spin the argument anyways as well but the above 2 facts are facts.
This is a very ‘loose’ way of looking at box office. It’s ‘compartmentism’. Simply isolating a particular aspect of a film, in this case language.
Also doesn’t matter if something is multi language, bilingual or single language.
The record books won’t bother to split total revenues. The profit loss to producer won’t care if it’s from a fanatical South Indian fanbase or a casual North Indian fanbase. Money is same. It’s Bollywood’s own issue that it cannot penetrate the South.
I doubt Americans care if Titantic made more than avatar in california.
These aren’t necessarily ‘badges’ of honour to brag about.
Pathaan’s #1 box office achievement is it’s UK number. It added 50%+ to previous record in a very flat market. That is beyond extraordinary. It took previous record of £2.7mn and is £4.3mn and counting. That is a MUCH bigger record and will or can only be broken by SRK.
India record will not last long IMO. In fact India isn’t even a legitimate all India record in first place. Once the South films have been doing this all India business it’s obvious where the true records in India belong.
Simply put what are the top 5 grossers in India?
If asked the question on a TV quiz show, you think answer will be Pathaan and quiz master will say ‘bravo’ you are right because I was talking about Hindi only? Reality is unadjusted by inflation it will be BB2. That doesn’t relegate Pathaan or demean its success. It’s just the factual statement.
RRR Worldwide gross in all language is 1200crs. It just around 150 cr odd more than Pathaan and that movie was a multi language. So Pathaan in 1 format getting to within 100 crs and 200crs of KGF2 and RRR makes it a far greater achievement.
We havent yet seen a Pan India Hindi movie so that disadvantage will always be there. Jawaan hence is an important movie if it can change those dynamics.
I said this before and i think Pathaan’s real achievement will be clear when future movies struggle to even cross 300 crs.
This is probably a 3 Idiots kind of deal where the movie has broken the previous one by leaps and bounds rather than a CE kind of deal where the record didn’t stand for much time.
If there are movies which do 600 or 700 crs in original Hindi format in next 3 years (BMCM, Hera Pheri 3? :)) then it will surely automatically show pathaan in its true light.
“Two things which are facts and I don’t know why it’s hard to digest for many.” – just like its impossible for you fanatics to digest that there’s a huge difference between nett & gross and Pathaan is nowhere close to Bahubali, one way or the other. Not even at par with the likes of 3 Idiots or PK. No other film industry in the world talks of vague figures like NETT which is neither total gross nor the distributor share. I’ve made this point before as well.
“If there are movies which do 600 or 700 crs in original Hindi format in next 3 years” – so beating a 5 year old BB2s record by less than 5% that too only in terms of NETT is “leaps and bounds”. Either you accept BB2 is the Sholay of our times with records impossible to catch up with or you accept Pathaan is more of a CE or Sultan than a 3 Idiots. As for future films, speak of Dunki, Tiger 3, War 2 etc rather than bringing in tier 2 stars like Akshay.
No respect for Telugu movie fans, but rabid middle aged SRK fan boys who act like teenage fangirls hitting puberty are the last ones to accuse someone of fanaticism and craze, especially when they themselves watch an imbecile popcorn film like Pathaan more than once at a theater.
@jaysha
“This is a very ‘loose’ way of looking at box office. It’s ‘compartmentism’. Simply isolating a particular aspect of a film, in this case language”
“Simply put what are the top 5 grossers in India?”
so you , you can make ” compartmentism ” in this case ” country ” but other cant ?
same when you say dangal is the biggest worldwide grosser , same as you say china is on mars, are usa and china worldwide grosser making their busniise on mars?
why for dangal you add ” india ” biggest worldwide grosser and when some says pathan hindi worldwide biggest grosser you have a problem with this ?
so , dont do ” compartmentism ” at all, and then dangal or even BB2 are nothing, and if you start to add ” india ” then let other add bollywood or hindi or whatever
What? Do you even get what you are saying? I am doing zero compartmentism. I taking the highest value of the film’s gross. I’m not dissecting it down to points where it becomes biggest in x, y, z language or region to play some kind of game! Lol!
If the quiz question was india’s biggest grosser in UK it would not be Bond. Hope you get how global box office is reported. It is own country, overseas and total…rest you feel free to make up 🙄
Think about how every major company reports to the market in the world. You think they say we made this much from Hindu and this much from Christians. Lmao.
Think before you speak.
The ONLY reason to mention Hindi is obvious. Else we know bb2 gross in India is 1400Cr+ and net 1000Cr+…
Define your question accurately first because answer is Dangal. I know you want me to say Pathaan but please ask your quiz question precisely to get a precise answer equal to Pathaan.
Define region for a start.
Let me answer for you
Biggest Indian ww grosser = Dangal
Biggest Bollywood ww grosser = Dangal
Biggest Bollywood ww grosser in original format = Pathaan
Biggest all India grosser = bb2
Biggest all India net grosser = bb2
Biggest Hindi all India grosser = bb2
Biggest Hindi all India net grosser = Pathaan
“I am doing zero compartmentism. I taking the highest value of the film’s gross. I’m not dissecting it down to points where it becomes biggest in x, y, z language or region to play some kind of game! Lol!”
of course you do
for exaple when saying dangal is the biggest worldwide grosser, you take into account ” for india ” , is ” for india ” not a region??
if you had said than dangal had done nothnig , bcz its not even in 200th list on even more on worldwide bases , at lesat it can make sense
why do you understadn that you ” add ” india ” , and somme ” add ” bollywood ” or ” hindi ”
remove ” india ” and stop making catagories fro countrys , or let other make categories based on industry ( bollywood ) or language
Firstly a ‘country’ is a defined barrier. A barrier to which every company is bound to report. A boundary to which all things are done in such ways.
Yes Dangal is peanuts to Avatar. Yet it is $300mn+…if we go down this path…Pathaan is just a bit ahead of Secret Superstar. Be careful what you want to exactly debate! Decide on it first! I’m merely stating facts.
Yes you are stating facts by saying Pathaan is biggest Hindi grosser in original format. But to draw that conclusion you have to exclude bb2 non hindi language and China Dangal collections. What am I excluding for Pathaan? Absolutely nothing. Tell me when the tubelight switches on for you.
“Let me answer for you
Biggest Indian ww grosser = Dangal
Biggest Bollywood ww grosser = Dangal
Biggest Bollywood ww grosser in original format = Pathaan
Biggest all India grosser = bb2
Biggest all India net grosser = bb2
Biggest Hindi all India grosser = bb2
Biggest Hindi all India net grosser = Pathaan”
shukur hai samajh ah gai lolll
if there is no category at all , the simpkle answer is biggest grosser is avatar, thats it
once you start adding ” for india ” ” in india ” , then why dont you let other saying ” for bollywood ” ” in hindi “
India’s movie market is based on linguistic disparity and not consumer consumption like for electronic or garment cos. For an industry divided by language its naive & illegitimate to look at highest ‘pan India’ grosser without context. Pathaan’s DOMESTIC comparison is with Hindi alone and its GLOBAL comparison is for worldwide numbers. On domestic count its second to BB2 while globally its India’s 5th after Dangal, BB2, RRR, KGF2. All other talk of NETT, territory, circuit comparison etc is for distributors to worry about, not any of us.
“Firstly a ‘country’ is a defined barrier”
industry is not defined barrier ? bollywood , hollywood ect???
language is not defined ? hindi for bollywood , penjabi for penjba film industy , and south languiages ofr south industry?
when you say “worldwide grosser ” and then say ” for indian movies ” other people say ” worldwide grosser in hindi language
for example if i say the legend of maula jutt is the biggest worldwide grosser in penjabi , do you have a probleme with this ?
the problem with you is that you add whatever categories you want when you want ( for india , region, countrys ) but have a problem when other say in hindi or for bollywood ect…
once again if you had said that dangal had done nothing special worldwide , then it would be ok, but here you add biggest worldwide for india, we say pathan biggest worldwide in hindi
ps : sorry for my faukt in english, its not my first or even second laguage
Don’t lose sleep over the obvious. Just go to boxofficemojo or Wikipedia to get list of all time biggest Indian grossers…and if you want to check global do the same…if you want hindi to do it.
But global trumps country trumps language. Not other way round ROFLMAO.
“yes you are stating facts by saying Pathaan is biggest Hindi grosser in original format. But to draw that conclusion you have to exclude bb2 non hindi language and China Dangal collections am I excluding for Pathaan? Absolutely nothing”
avatar biggest ww.
what am i excluding for dangal? absolutly nothing,
to draw your ccl n dagal biggest ww grosser , you have to exclude lot of thnig,
and i am not against it , you can make lot of ddiferent comparison, by country, and in for indians, by industry and by language
What am I excluding for Pathaan? Explain please…you are excluding the 800Cr gross and 500Cr net India for bb2 and excluding the 1200Cr China collection for Dangal. I am comparing EVERYTHING Pathaan made to EVERYTHING Dangal and BB2 made.
When influencers takes themselves seriously and calls film makers vella when their whole existence depends on reviewing films and getting paid by PR agencies of movies. He’s calling vella for someone who made Scam 1992, Lol.
Stop taking yourself seriously Mr Mehta .. It seems disasters like Faraaz has taken a toll on your mental health, you have not delivered a single box office hit in your life, i have no interest in engaging with you. Please stop commenting under my posts & go to work, dont be so… https://t.co/RBPLIC8YIo
#Baahubali2 Hindi Was a mega BLOCKBUSTER , if any one considering that its a bigger BO success than #Pathaan because BB2 Gross Biz is more( hindi) ,then they should also consider that Pathaan is a Post Pandemic release + a stand alone movie unlike BB2.
Chamchas and their fantasies. We’re talking about stats and numbers alone. Anyone with an ounce of brain would know what Bahubali is to a pan India audience today and even naming Pathan in the same breath is a joke. Its not an stand alone film entirely as well (being part of a spy framchise unlike ETT and War).
If I exclude UP/Bihar and Rajasthan and add PVR South Extension and Cinepolis Bandra along with dolby digital weekend shows at Sector 17 Chandigarh and everything everywhere in the Gulf region, I am certain Kal Ho Naa Ho will beat Bahubali 2 accounting for inflation.
Jayshah ignored this obvious fact because he is biased against SRK. Shehzad point this out.
KKHH and Zero will easily be the top grossing films not counting for films where the leading man is a selfish prick wanting the best of both worlds and two women.
These two all time grossers had SRK as the leading man. Isn’t it enough to prove he is the numero uno?
No it didnt, bcz jay and Tony se hazm nahi ho raha hai.
You can say dangal biggest ww grosser for india but cant say pathan biggest ww grosser in Hindi 😀😀.
Tony à jayshah quiz for you
Wich film is the biggest ww grosser?
I think you are twisting things. Nobody in right mind thinks in language terms. They think which ‘movie’ grossed most. But look if it’s so important to think in only Hindi terms that’s fine. Even bb2 should be ignored because it was dubbed. Just another category to consider. Eventually we’ll end up with as many gender categories that are floating around in the world.
The highest grossing film that starred an Indian actor in a few seconds Hollywood role? Any guesses?
You have decided to create à category. Worldwide but for india.
Some People speak fo worldwide but in Hindi, aur yeh hazm nahi ho raha app se.
Aur abb to Tony ah gia dekhte hain kia achievement batata hai dangal ki ww mei
Doosroun ke lyeh Tony samjhta hai ke bara smart hai, abb dangal ki ww achievement ke lyeh kudh ka Mazaak bane ga jab jawab deh ga
Waiting for his response to the quiz number 2
Didint you see so many category on boxofficemojo?
Highest grosser r rated, highest super hero film
Highest animated
Highest grosser film never be at number 1 ect…..
But but but. The main issue is you and Tony are saying dangal highest grossing ” worldwide” but for india? Yeh kaun sa worldwide hai Tony bhai jaan? Koi india alag se planet mei hai, wahan dangal nei highest worldwide collection di houn gi
Do you read what I type? I got no issue with sub category. But please don’t forget the main category of biggest grosser. Each country has there own biggest grosser. Go to any list and they will tell you. Even beloved BOI does, Bollywood Hungama, Koimoi, sacnilk etc.
For ease look at Wikipedia. It doesn’t list Pathaan at #1. It starts with GLOBAL LIST OF GROSS. It doesn’t Start with a subset. You’re running before you can walk. All this effort to put Pathaan at #1. The way you talk you should count the collections at your local cinema only and ignore the ROW.
Both BB2 and Dangal are in $300mn WW range. You can then if needs must just look at Hindi language. Or you can go and ask your local theatre which grossed more!
The Hindi language narrative is built because some South movies swung into Bollywood’s territory and destroyed the records held so proudly and now Bollywood has something to crow about in retaliation. Yet the top 5 alltime Indian grossing films still have 3 non Bollywood movies. If you read how BOI writes it is the trap you’re falling into. It is always Indian cinema not just Bollywood mindset. Please stop the superiority complex as box office doesn’t discriminate – it is about numbers and narrative.
bachchan fans can keep having as many nervous melt down episodes as they want, it’s not going to change the fact that “at this age of 57” SRK delivered ATBB which bachchan wasn’t able to past age 33 (playing 2nd lead in Sholay), If you want to count multi starrer Muqaddar ka sikandar as ATBB, it has still been more then 4 decades now.
The media can fool many, not some of us.
Of course if bhola, kkbkkj, etc puts up 500 Cr regularly then pathaan collecting 510+ Cr will be no big deal. Time will tell…
And let’s not forget that Pathaan has broken records in most (if not all) country it has released in, where you don’t need to worry about NETT vs. GROSS. All numbers are on computer system and not taking it out of air that this or that film had 10 Cr footfalls with no evidence at all to back it up.
Coolie & Mard are ATBBs by today’s terminology which didn’t exist back then (both are far bigger hits than D3 and Bajrangi). And if a special appearance from Khanna makes MKS a multistarrer, so is Pathaan’s Jim act. Incessant ranting against ABs past films will not propagate Pathaan’s status but surely prove your rabid fanaticism that’s unwilling to accept facts.
One thing i agréé with you its cross that should be compared, but not now, from the start, but its not that way in india and i dont know why, Maybe jay know better about this.
Thing is that we compare pathaan the way it is done in bollywood, and its nett
What do some of our box office experts here says about the trending of Pathaan, especially who presented 83 and unchaai as some sort of very successful films?
I know Trending is not as great as blockbusters like 83 and unchaai 🙂
But Pathaan is collecting more in 6th weekend then small hits like KGF2 and BB2 (both NON-BOLLYWOOD films)…
83 6th weekend = Too low to be reported but around 0.70 Cr
Unchaai 6th weekend = Too low to be reported but around 0.20 Cr
Amazing 6th week-end
Even if there was 30% drop it would have been Great but here its BETTER than its 5th week-end and coming back to beat BB2 6th week ( BB2 was number 1 in weeks 2 3 4 and 5)
Got you, this where i know i got you by your b@lls. Wussy like you when pushed against the wall and can’t defend anymore, you start bringing in religion.
Sorry buddy. can’t help you with your miserable life which causes you to have episodes like this.
I dont thik its épisodes. He surely had an éducation of hate
He surely one of those guys we see in clip where extrémist hindu are beating one poor muslim, and making him eat cow mata shit.
Here in France i have sikh and hindu working with us, but they are not extrémist hindu like this vijay
Lol.. irrelevant responses as usual.. ample videos of isis using allah’s name to wreck havoc. Can’t help if a cunt such as yourself empathises with them or their methods.
You think your rats ass was gonna get away with mocking a genocide and now that you’re being responded in the only language you understand you shit bricks complaining to mods with your pants on fire. Sorry, neither am i your bud and nor do any of your false Pathaan box office theories make any sense. Go fuck yourself.
Pathaan Surpasses Baahubali 2 Hindi Box Office, Producer Congratulates Shah Rukh Khan…
On Saturday, Shobu Yarlagadda took to his Twitter handle to write a heartfelt note for the makers of Pathaan. He penned, “Congratulations to @iamsrk sir, Siddharth Anand @yrf and the entire team of Pathaan on crossing @BaahubaliMovie 2 Hindi NBOC. Records are meant to be broken and I am happy it was none other than @iamsrk who did it!”
Tony and jay, didnt see dangal name in first 2 pages ( 400 Movies)
@tony BOM have the list for planet earth, can you send à link where dangal is the biggest worldwide grosser ( for india, hmmm, à spécial category)
Don’t stop at ‘Hindi’…add ‘gujarati’, ‘punjabi’ etc.
Anyway thanks for providing 2 links to me. Alltime ww grosser from BOI that I never knew existed and boxofficemojo link. Both are cracking own goals. Both present my point that box office sites look at top grossers in the main except BOI builds it’s own narrative. Since you’re in France we should discuss France’s Alltime grosser? What is it or does it not matter for the French as they probably don’t appear in top 1000?
You need to add more but ‘take away’ from bb2 and Dangal. That’s the deception you have created. I was not vomiting comparison of bb2/Dangal to Hollywood. I was comparing to ‘Indian’ releases. You want to go to layer of Hindi. Next someone will go to Hinglish. Then in end you have everybody creating own categories.
Keep things simple.
Yes Dangal is a dwarf to avatar. But Pathaan is half to Dangal too. So think about that before these pointless lectures.
You are all over the place. I am not belittling Pathaan. It has broken bb2 record (Bollywood record) and it can only beat what is in front of it. It’s annihilated so many overseas records I’ve lost count. It’s done excellent in latter weeks, specifically I am happy to see reduced prices/discounts and the rewards are higher collections. Plenty to cheer about.
It is however not in bb2 spectrum at all. In overseas it is ahead but in India bb2 is twice its nett collections and more than twice its gross. Is this something to cry about? No. Because if it’s behind, rest of Bollywood is further behind!
Thanks for the list. It proves my point. That is all I needed you to post.
Hopefully boxofficemojo has equivalent hindi language list you can share???? Please send the link 🙏
But for domestic they have lot of category, and they had even more in their Old site.
But for worldwide Only one category, worldwide
You bring something to create an achievement for dangal ( and in reality it is) ( but dont want others to come with anything)
Shukur hai Tony hai jho foolish message se apni jaan chora leta hai 😀😀.
There is nothing for Dangal for me. Or bb2. This is purely about the integrity of box office reporting. Not to create illusions that are naive, based on narratives that ‘exclude’ collections collected to satisfy certain people.
You are free to exclude Rest of India bb2 collections and Chinese Dangal collections. But I simply ask what intention and for what reason? To fool who exactly?
I don’t care about any categories, but there has to be one category where the haters ass are burnt badly with jealousy, then Pathaan tops the list of ALL TIME and even beating Mughal EAzam, Sholay, Bahubali 2 and that Gadar which is being thrown 24/7 here. Lmao, as such ridiculous excuses, belted out to demean its success. Kuch bhi. Another racist joker said, I don’t know how Pathaan is doing this business still. Haha. It was fun to see his crying officially.
Bro do you really think I was serious in my responses? Why are you involving me in a discussion that involved jayshah, you and Pathaan’s worldwide gross minus rest of the world?
wrong , its comparing thnigs equally
all india vs all india , hindi vs hindi , ww hindi vs ww hindi ect…
for ex BB2 800cr gross is for its hindi , here its comparaison is with pathan around 1000cr
or 387 for dangal is for its all india here tis vs pathan 530cr
ect…
lolll
i had said that BB2 is THE biggest blockbuster EVER for india since 47
but yes if you compare non hindi collection its around 19cr or pathan and maybe 12 cr for dangal and 520cr for BB2
everyone can create te category he want, look you have created a category of worldwide for india
but at the end nothnig will change , at the date of today, pathan is the biggest grosser for bollywood in india, and the biggest ww in hindi , and in a single indian language
and BB2 is the biggest grosser ever in india, and dangal is the biggest grosser ww for india and and and
avatar is the biggest ww grosser from every where without discounting anythnig
“”Top movie India : Dangal
Top movie Bollywood : Dangal
Top movie hindi language : Pathaan
Tell me where I am wrong and I’ll leave.””
you are 100%right , and what different are anyone here saying ?
bollywood is a hindi laguage industry
pathan is the higest ww gosser in hindi
pathan is higest grosser in india for bollywood
dangal is higest ww grosser for india
BB2 is the higest grosser in india
avatar is the highest grosser ww
you see there is one and only one category where you dont have to add anythnig, and here its avatar, and nor dangal nor BB nor pathaan have done nothnig
but bow office dont stop here, you have diferent catergory, and you are the first to introduce ” for india ” let other at least add in hindi ( its the laguage of bollywood )
Not first for ‘india’. You are novice. Highest listed Indian titles existed for long time. It would be a key metric for Indian movies from day 1. Languages can follow. But it is not the headline metric. It is headline metric today because like I said other Languages came onto Bollywood turf and gave surprise of life. This is important now to give Bollywood it’s crown back. That is all.
And if one was being absolutely truthful to oneself they would recognise that a dubbed film hanging with the best Bollywood can throw 6 years apart is different context.
Sequel or no sequel.
Let Pathaan 2 release and if it does 4x multiple that bb2 did to bb1 I will be first to say it’s biggest feat ever.
In any case ETT did 198 and TZH did 340 odd. When you add context to bb2 you realise what kind of monster it was. It’s only comparison is Sholay.
1000Cr net all India. Half of that is from a market it never dominated.
It is like Bangladesh going to Australia in the 90s and smashing 400 in an ODI. It wouldn’t happen.
yes of course what BB2 have done on all india basis there is no comparaison at all , not even sholya or any film , BB2 is the biggest blockbuster ever for india since 47
jay see just an another example
here its saying kalo jotta 10th biggest bb in history
but of course its for penjabi industry in penjabi laguage
there is plenty of website having their own list
and before BB2 there isnt any website doing a weekly top 10 of movies in india , every industry have but not on all india basis,
this a particularity of india, and this is how it works here in india , so this is why we compare pathaan the way it was done till now
of course in near future maybe it will be only for all india level, but we are not here yet
I don’t want to get into this debate above but want to add 1 point that bringing worldwide for Pathaan is too early and it’s just 40 days. Dangal released in China after 6 months and in Japan and rest after 1.5 years. Bajrangi Bhaijan released in China after 3 years. So, until Pathaan has completed its run, comparing is pointless at this point. We should compare areas where it released like US, UK, Gulf etc.
That’s why every Web portal would have * next to Pathaan because it is still running in cinemas. Think everyone understands Pathaan can only increase its collections and BB2, Dangal or Bajrangi Bhaijaan or HAHK have finished there runs.
In other milestone news, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan continues to make history. Through Friday, it became the highest-grossing Bollywood movie ever worldwide excluding China. In the original Hindi language, it is the biggest ever when considering that Dangal’s $193M in China collections were from a dubbed version.
Through Saturday, Pathaan became the first original Hindi film to cross the 400 crore net mark in India and overtook Dangal with 401.4 crore net ($48.9M)
There’s talk that Sonu ki Sweety crossover with TJMM in the 2nd half of the movie. Another surprise is that Boney Kapoor is playing the father’s role alongside Dimple kapadia.
I’m interested to watch this but can’t for next 2 weekends and till then the movie sustains the interests with reviews and boxoffice, will watch it or else need to wait for OTT.
PVR – 8,000 tckts INOX – 3,400 tckts CINEPOLIS – 2,300 tckts Total – 13,700 tckts#RanbirKapoor and #ShraddhaKapoor film will sell 14,200 plus tickets by mid-night in 3 chains. Shows good momentum on first day of advance. #LuvRanjan
As it’s Holi and holiday, I’m expecting around 18-20 crores easily on day 1 with huge sport bookings. If this was non-holiday, it would have been 13-15 crores.
Pulling off Sethupati, Manoj Bajpayee and KK Menon in the same show would be a casting coup. Enough to sideline our chocolate boy turned charsi kamina Shahid Kapoor.
Not at all. I have zero exclusion policy but flexibility to show each cut of data. Others are interested in showing ‘specific’ data that shall tell a specific story. There is a huge difference. Each country’s box office is not geared to compare each film to global list. It is predominantly interested in its own results.
Unless of course one day India regularly competes with Hollywood, then it will crow about it’s results with ROW.
Yes zéro exclusion
When you say dangak highest grosser ww, you make 99% exclusion to make this statement bcz you add ” for india”
When we say pathan higest grosser ww in Hindi we make also 99% exclusion the différence is that i accept your catégorisation but you you have problème with this bcz its pathan or srk Maybe
This is totally AB’s fault. Why on earth sign a film at this age with such demanding acts? Wouldn’t they have given that in the contract that he would have to perform such action scenes? He is a total workaholic but this needs to stop. There’s nothing he’s got to prove. Films like PIKU and JHUND couldn’t be done with ANY actor on the face of this earth and that’s enough. He is a good writer; he should rest, and resort to writing. If he still continues doing what he’s doing so, it’s his own fault and no-one else’s: Of course, this flies in the face of clown-baniyas here who ask, “When was AB’s last block-buster?”
The cracks had begun to show in TOH. Idiotic VKA made him do action scenes as well as dance in a ridiculous item number with Aamir. Filmmakers should take note that he is past the age where he can be utilised as an action star. More suited to the likes of Goodbye and 102 Not Out now. The physical healing process is very slow at this age and it’s not a joke.
Arre bhai.. raking up a crook analyst whose first claims he’s lived through the AB era of megastardom during the 70s and 80s and yet questions “when was his last BB” based on BOIs definition of a blockbuster, first agrees AB is the first among equals in his gen to stay relevant in his 60s and 70s (which none of his predecessors or contemporaries managed) and then in the same breath claims AB fans are jealous of SRK for delivering a BB at 57 (in a digital era when even a Salman Khan will crack historic collections at the same age!) and one’s who are backed by teenage kids of the alphabetical namesake with a ZERO iq who know nothing of box office beyond a rogue site like BOI (which itself claims AB is among the top 3 of all time and has the highest historic initials by any Indian actor), claiming the likes of MKS being a “multistarrer” (same yardstick doesn’t apply for KHNH, MHN or Pathaan) and AB not having any ATBBs barring MKS (when both TG and FI have evidenced the historic footfalls & territory share of films like Naseeb, Laawaris, AAA and Coolie) is completely needless and a waste of time. These are criminals who defend a genocide with out of context examples of rape, passively empathise with orgs like Taliban and ISIS and give bogus “food on the table” statements once their lies, hypocrisy and non contextual statements are exposed.
Coolie came in 1983 when he was 41 and grossed 11 Cr nett, higher than Kranti. Did you really live through that era or are you just delusional? The term ATBB did not exist in that era at all.

As for the age, let your Khan man at least live till 75, forget signing films at that age. Wouldn’t take much for any of the agencies to put his good for nothing son of a bitch behind bars once again.
“Wouldn’t take much for any of the agencies to put his good for nothing son of a bitch behind bars once again.”
So, if someone comments about Amitabh, you will respond with comments on Srk’s wife and son. Waah and you call others teenage girls? Even teens don’t behave like this anywhere.
Actually, I should be a better/bigger person and not say anything about teenage girls. So sincere apologies.
Shivaay is just a cyberbully who is probably not a bad person at all but just loses it as soon as challenged with facts.
Noone is questioning Bachchan super stardom. But fact is no ATBB singe age of 33.
My point has always been don’t make me try to believe Bachchan is same at boxoffice now as he was in 70s and early 80s.
Salman will soon deliver an ATBB or at least a BB @57 and Aamir or even Devgn will follow suit. By the logic of nincompoop fraud analysts all of them are on their way to greater glory than not just AB but Dilip Kumar and Dharmendra as well. Bravo!
In Hyderabad at the shoot for Project K, during an action shot, I have got injured .. rib cartilage popped broke and muscle tear to the right rib cage .. canceled shoot .. did Doctor consult and scan by CT at the AIG Hospital in Hyderabad and flown back home .. strapping has been done and rest been advocated .. yes painful .. on movement and breathing .. will take some weeks they say before some normalisation will occur .. some medication is on also for pain ..
So all work that was to be done has been suspended and canceled dropped postponed for the moment until healing occurs ..
I rest at Jalsa and am mobile a bit for all the essential activities .. but yes in rest and generally lying around ..
It shall be difficult or let me say .. I shall be unable to meet, the well wishers at Jalsa Gate this evening .. so do not come .. and do inform as much as you can to those that intend coming ..
While talking of WW grossers, most people including BOI talk as if the trend started with DDLJ and ended with Dangal.
BOI recently came up with an article where it talked of the journey of overseas collections of Bollywood movies from 500 thousand to 2 million pounds, conveniently ignoring the collections from ‘certain’ countries.
Most experts ignore the elephant in the room, the massive Disco Dancer. Why? It’s anyone guess. A ‘B dance movie’ from the 80s that created a sensation in Russia and its songs have seeped in its pop culture.
Watch the euphoria here and decide.
If we want to be stuck at Dangal and SS and BB and Pathaan because it suits our agenda, let it 😜
Disco Dancer must be listed among the all time great grossers, adjusted for inflation
BOI is mismanaged with no or poor records of films (mostly guesswork) of films older than HAHK (guess it’s all lost and no one kept track). And even if it is (in Film Information, for instance), they had numbers for India collections alone.
Consider this Wiki list of top grossing films in the SU. DD is No. 2 all time grossing film in Russia, followed by Awara at No. 3
What it did then needs to be acknowledged
I wouldn’t trust BOI with this stuff. They enter the global box office reporting committee with US, Chinese, Japanese, UK ambassadors and say Indian movies would like to report numbers in original language listed basis so please make X, Y and Z exclusions to reduce their own country’s collections!
Receiving a lot of DMs and mentions over the Nett/Gross fiasco. I have a simple take on this. Bollywood has always considered Nett & has always reported nett throughout. No one questioned then, why the change now? The comparison will always continue. First it was about nett,…
Pathaan Box Office: Records Historic Collections In South States, Is Leading Over Dangal By A Huge Margin Of 47 Crores
Pathaan has earned a whopping 135.50 crores from the South Indian states alone (inclusive of Hindi as well as dubbed versions’ collection). It’s a historic figure as the film is now ruling at the top like a boss by being the highest-grossing Bollywood film in South states. Dangal is at the 2nd spot with 88.25 crores. Padmaavat is at 3rd with 77.20 crores.
South Indians prefer watching a Hindi film in its original language instead of a dubbed version unlike the Hindi audiences.
135.50 crores is a pretty good number
Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar is the grand comeback of Ranbir Kapoor to a genre wherein lies his strength.
He will open it better than SRK ever did in his core strength genre: romance.
It will be clear this week who the real badshah of romance is.
so making a category based on country is ok for you , but not for laguages? even when in india film industries are based on laguages
penjabi for penjab industry bengali for bengal industry , hindi for bollywood, tamil for tamil industry ect….
does bollywood make gujrati movies?
its a fact that in india its language that is the legitimate barrier for comparaison
there isnt this issue in usa or any western country bcz there is only one main language for their film industry
jay, why do you have difficulty in understanding what ” worldwide ” mean ,
its all over the world, thats it , a higest grosser worldwide is the higest grosser worldwide , thats it
when you say ” for india ” or for france ect… at this moment you have made a special category and exclude rest of the world
same way , and bcz of the nature on india and its multi languages industry , and indian movies not beeing released dubbed around the world , saying biggest hit for bollywood or biggest hit in hindi, or biggest grosser in penjabi or in tamil ect… is a legitimate category same way saying higest worldwide ” for ” india “
and you can deny as much you want but , pathan and SRK have the higest grosser movie in hindi , both in india and in overseas, and of course worldwide
this is a fact that is as true as the fact that dangal is higest gorsser worldwide for india, and BB2 is higest gorsser movie in india , or the legend of maula jutt is the higest grosser worldwide in penjabi
“”Each country’s box office is not geared to compare each film to global list. It is predominantly interested in its own results.
Unless of course one day India regularly competes with Hollywood, then it will crow about it’s results with ROW””
each film industry of india is not geared to compare each film to global india list
the comparaison is within industry at the begining, of course you can compare for the of comparing ” all india ” but as you said , if one day every movie from every indian film industry get an all india wide release , then comapraison will change
same for worldwie , as you said, unless on day india regularly release their movie dubbed in english, french, german , chinese ect… then we will only talk about globally , but till then its worldwide ” for india ” and its worldwide in hindi
Okay. I think you just want any condition that gives hindi. Good for you except RoW won’t look at it like that nor would the producer. They will care for movies entire collection.
i just use what is used in india, different industry , different language
yes ROW dont use this, every country have its particularity
it will be difficult to explain this to an americain, but you as an indian you can understand this easely
It isn’t bb2. And nowhere do I say or deny Pathaan as top Hindi grosser. But you are forgetting how a ladder looks. There is something that sits at the top and then there are the steps below. I think you are skirting the question to which you know the answer. Posting links to ‘hindi’ specific does not answer the question of the top Indian grosser. You already gave link to mojo yesterday. That was enough to tell you the answer.
indian color k ebaut se shades hain, like lot of different languages , lot of different shades of brown , from white to black
wich color are you, lolll
Pathaan has this record of grossing 1000 crores in SINGLE language and it’ll take ages for someone else to break that record. Even south movies can’t do that and in Hindi, you can’t get it easily. Wake me up when someone breaks that in single language.
“Or you too want to be specific to Hindi?” – Hindi supremacists of course. Can’t expect better from American chums with zilch knowledge of India beyond the vindhyas. Wake me up as well.. when Bollywood or their “Khan”daans get past KGF2 in “all languages” since in my info India’s got 22 official one’s with none having a national status.
Gulmohar is very good film , it is kind of a mixture of Monsoon wedding and Party ( Govind Nilhani )
Manoj Bajpai kee IMO best film so far. However Sharmila and Palekar totally disappointed me. Palekar has now twice goofed up – Farzee and this one. I think Waheeda jee would have better suited the role of Sharmila. Vinod Nagpal has just one scene and he shines. rest of the cast is perfect .
Also , these wokiyas have to bring in the gay angle somehow , whether it is required or not – it is kind of a box to check for them. Lastly the twist at the end seemed illogical and senseless .
SPOILER –
Why would he do such a thing when he had MB build the house for them.
I find myself picking another Malayalam film for casual viewing after Netflix recommended me this based on my viewing habits. I knew the detailing would be spot on as expected from many a film from this language n industry, bit I didn’t brace myself for a stunning performance from Joju George in a dual role: that of a unruly cop and his twin brother — both in the force. The distinction he makes between two characters purely on basis of body language and dialogue delivery without any physical transformation is itself worth one’s undivided attention. One look at one of these characters and it would be easy to identify which one’s which. It’s minimal but astonishingly real.
But besides being a very sharply written and finely police procedural with multiple viewpoints and little backstories of a whole bunch of characters, it manages to touch upon themes of morality, redemption, guilt, and ultimate penance. All within 100 odd minutes of running time without being cluttered and screenplay jostling for space.
On surface it’s a simple, been there done that storyline. A man is shot multiple times in a busy space, but no one sees the crime taking place. Except that the man is a police officer and the scene of crime is a police station. Every major character has had a run-in with the ‘victim’ and has a clear motive for bumping him off.
The best part, however, is reserved for the climax. Making your jaw drop and hitting you right in the gut.
Sanjana was great at suggesting south movies. She’s the one who got me into watching South movies from her recommendations of Alla, Kaithi, murli mural, few others
Joseph is being remade in Hindi with Sunny deol, titled..SURYA, with same director Padma kumar. last schedule left to wrap up after Sunny finishes Gadar 2.
Munna: Just close this damn blog. It’s turning good normal educated folks into roadside loafers and racists and what not. If I read posts from 6-8 yrs back and see the comments and compare to the constant discussion from past year or so, it’s just pointless when it’s just messing up everyone’s mind and there is no real discussion happening and folks are coming here to shout, bitch, abuse and then go back to their real lives. Sort of alternate evil version of themselves. I’m shocked to the level the discussion keeps falling low every month and it’s not healthy for anyone. Anyways, moderation is not a solution and I don’t suggest that anymore.
Munna gave up long back. The harsh truth is they will continue to exist, and moreso if you continue to unnecessarily engage. It’s better to mouth your opinions and learn to scroll through them without being affected. Interact with people whom you like and keep the banter fun.
The genuine ATBBs of that era as confirmed by Trade Guide archives as well. Hoping for someone to bring out FI data of the 70s & 80s to piss on the faces of these BOI fanatics and habitual dolts.
Why there is no celebration in Bollywood on Pathaan being the Heighest Grosser ever beating Bahubal-2. Now even BOI has said that. Is there someting which we don’t know. It was perfact time of Holi for Yashraj Films to celebrate the historic success. They have their in house holy song form Rang barse to Ang se ang milana sajan hamein aise rang lagana. Why there is silence ?
In wich cave do you live? Lolllll
Since friday its on every site and on every Twitter Account, even BB2 producer congratulate pathan.
What do you want, a holiday?
They wanted to celebrate on Holi but Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar is going to steal their thunder on the day. Pathaan had a great chance of adding a couple of crores on the holiday but TJMM won’t let them. Hence YRF are lying low and are having a secret hawan puja at Mannat.
Ajay has a team of his own to dig out the south hits, which includes his manager Kumar mangat pathak and team who source South films for AJAY which does well in South BO and then buy rights at cheap rates and then remakes in Hindi.
he was lucky to bag rights for Drishyam 1 (mal), when it was released in 2013 through one his AD’s, who directed EZRA (Malayalam) which was remade in hindi as Dybbuk with Emran hashmi, produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.
And yet his biggest blockbuster in recent times is far from being a remake. Anyhow the Drishyam films would never have worked commercially with any other mainstream star though with character artists like Bajpayee or KK at the helm the films would have been equally effective.
Well, I wouldn’t say this is a mass friendly subject, and that gut wrenching climax will not be easily digested. Ajay looks for crowd pleasing subjects that he can mint millions out of
I don’t want to bring up climax and ruin it for those who have not seen it but my wife and I gasped as soon as we realized the truth and the end with father not wanting his daughter to see him due to (his face)…
Extremely well executed. The lead playing is just too good. You can easily make out which one is which based on his facial expression, his body language. You don’t have to rely on corps to make out difference.

£3 and £4 million – Pathaan(2023) did the job on both these benchmarks as it takes the business in United Kingdom to another level. It is the biggest blockbuster in UK since Kabhi Khush Kabhie Gham and it is only Shahrukh Khan who can break this record and even target the next benchmark which is £5 million. Pathaan will probably end up with around £4.4 million mark.
************************
As I mentioned earlier breaking £2.7 million record and touching £3 million it would have been considered huge but Pathaan did £4 million, and that during not holiday season and its the best record of Pathaan all over.
2nd best record will be India’s domestic collections around 515 cr Nett, and 3rd best record will be US all time Hindi grosser with $17.5 million.

I have posted a LINK that corroborates how fashion played a very important role in post-liberalized India: The clothes worn by Kajol, SRK, and Rani are discussed till date were discussed back heavily even then. If you have the guts, and this sandbagger Z, then respond to the PROOF I have provided; not running away saying PHIR KABHI AANA.
I have mentioned right from the the beginning that I had all positive vibes regarding PATHAAN when I saw the trailer; I saw the deceptions also when SRK used the very cloak of present disposition for PATHAAN, and wrote about it giving clear explanations. If you have an alternate ‘logical’ explanation for that, that the FASHION of KKHH and DTPH’s Karishma’s leotards and SRK’s fake-Manhattan style apartment style developed. They went along with the times? Don’t you even understand that? Nothing wrong with that. Did Aamir or Juhi make a fashion statement with QSQT? Did SRK himself make any fashion statement with KHKN?
What’s happened to you that you have reduced yourself to these 3rd rate -2nd grade kids’ Burnol statements. There was a time when I so looked forward to your capsule reviews of films that would help me decide whether to watch in theaters or wait for DVD or OTT or whatever. I don’t think any woman has ever orgasmed and given out meaningless moans like you. It is sad to see a better analytical mind and lover of cinema like you fall to this level. PATHAAN has done more than its job. It would have done its job in a demoralized industry even at 300 or 350k. It’s good that it even exceeded that expectation. Do you remember anybody fighting like kiddies in shittie diapers fighting as to how many rupees and anaas SHOLAY made versus MEA? Both are remember in equal reverence, and not for such kind if imbecile discussions.
Talk of time-lines, of periods of cultural import, and then counter me, and I will gracefully accept if I am proven wrong.
It seems like you psychiatrists are enjoying some folks ‘burning’ with jealousy even more than the mega-success of PATHAN.
Ask this sandbagger anylist Z, and a so-called-citizen of the top 10 mis-fortune companies who cannot spell ‘racism’ inspite of Bill Gates’ review feeding him corrections [and is so dumb enough that he doesn’t even understand Tony’s sarcasm about bums on seat left/right/mid and is responding to him in a matter-of-fashion!!] if Indians in the US aren’t excited — anyway he or she or it or whatever has been exposed by talking of philosophy of SRK/AB/DP’s tickets’ not being sold or correlation to food on the table now turning a total turncoat on his philosophy and ‘enjoying’ BURNOL moments — about discounts on these kind of clothes, and if we don’t look for the cheapest price and WAIT for discounts. It is not like SRK and KJo will wish away 50$ for a fashion statement that can be made in 5$.
The only logical/decent persons who have discussed the ‘merits’ and ‘de-merits’ of the film are Aman Basha [he had the guts to mention that he or his friend witnessed many many women in Burkha (hope they have seen the film) and Krish: Actually even Master ‘s and Z’s reviews were not very very flattering. So I am glad that at least at that level, there still seems to be some cinema-viewing and reviewing/feed-back honesty. But BO, is different matter altogether. When you have a person like KRISH or even Gujju Boy providing statistical data and analysis, why the worry? There will be nay-sayers, ignore them! Numbers will prove the point; 50-60 crores here and there: I don’t care. The film has done better than expected and it is good.
Anyway, just commenting on the ratio of box office baniya discussions rather than quality of the film…
Goof luck and continue with outstanding discussions like BURNOL and baby-wet tissue-wipes.

Even I was the only one who went to watch Uunchai and Drishyam 2 in cinemas but folks have no reading of that anymore. You are labeled hater or lover if we criticize movies here. If I say Uunchai lacked that spark and came across as outdated, no one is taking it positively. I didn’t even care to review Jhund with all you guys going ga-ga over it, and it turned out very average affair in the end. I didn’t run away during Kashmir Files and neither during Srk’s flops and I don’t need to worry about superficial stuff. Out of all, folks now have problem with celebrating Pathaan’s success, which isn’t a movie of my type and I didn’t go ga-ga over it as well. Either ways, I’ve seen enough of your ‘likes’ on stupid, hatred comments and I have nothing more to add.

It’s like they want bachchan to be treated like he delivered sholay with every movie when truth is last blockbuster was like 4 decades ago.
you can’t provide any type of constructive criticism and then everything gets blancketed into “at this age” excuse.
I was the first one who posted somewhat negative views about Pathaan AFTER seeing it. Go look at all of my SRK film reviews that i’ve watched and they’re bang on. nevermind 5 star, you won’t even see 4 star for any of them from me.
Problem is some here like to talk hindu/muslim stuff which some have no issues with but comes in gun blazzing when someone gets a monday box office collection prediction wrong (not to mention naveen got pathaan day 1 wrong by 40 cr and we saw how incorrect tonymontana has been).

Pathaan had superb hold in its fifth week as it collected 8.50 crore nett taking its total over 505 crore nett. The fifth week saw the film dropping under 40% which is the best weekly trend for the film since release. the lower collections and Selfiee making it like an open week helped..

The fifth week collections of the film are the seventh highest ever and are similar to the likes of Dangal and Drishyam 2. Pathaan should again record strong business in its sixth weekend as it is the only film people are coming to watch and there is no new release of note.
Pathaan will beat the numbers of Bahubali – The Conclusion as it heads for a total of 510 crore nett plus. The film could even reach 515 crore nett but that will depend on what happens post Holi.. The collections of Pathaan (Hindi) till date are as follows.
Week One – 3,47,75,00,000 apprx (9 days)
Second Week – 90,25,00,000 apprx
Third Week – 44,75,00,000 apprx
Fourth Week – 13,75,00,000 apprx
Friday – 1,05,00,000 apprx
Saturday – 2,00,00,000 apprx
Sunday – 2,50,00,000 apprx
Monday – 80,00,000 apprx
Tuesday – 75,00,000 apprx

That combo of a superstar + advance + front loadedness + Action + Holiday on second day + WOM + 3 open weeks + poor movies for next 2 months is a major alignment of things. You might tick some of the boxes but not all the boxes and thats true even for jawaan 🙂

One thing I realized is that to touch 500 crs or that sort of business you need 2 factors.
1) Extremely high interest and buzz and fantastic opening
2) Very good content and possibly repeat watch
If you have average buzz and content is outstanding, it can do 350 crs or go near 400 but can’t become highest grosser. If you have excellent buzz but content is below average, you can do 300 crs. Both factors should matter and there should be enough excitement in audience to watch the movie. Most of them are interested but wait for the feedback or WOM. You can’t depend just on WOM if audience is not even interested to watch the movie.

Secondly, no other producer has given daily collections, if you do that you become restricted in pumping fake collections and no one, I repeat apart from YRF would have been this transparent and confident on giving daily collections. . If this was some other production house, it would reported 550 and nearing to 600 crores especially first couple of weeks.So, kudos to YRF for this daily collections.

Rocket Boys :
-> If ever you wanted a peek into the lives of legendary scientists like CV Raman, Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai & APJ Kalam beyond what you’ve read in your high school science textbooks, this is the show to watch. Beyond all the genius in their brains, the screenplay successfully captures the humane aspects of these men, their relationships, their turmoil, their triumphs and tribulations in a way no other film or TV show has thus far.
-> A brisk screenplay by Abhay Pannu that seldom has a dull moment and despite running over a timeline of over 2 decades, manages to capture the iconic moments of pre and post independent India with precision. The performances by the entire cast of talented artists like Ishwak Singh, Regina, Rajit Kapur, TM Kartik, Dibyendu Bhattacharya etc. is endearing yet its Jim Sarbh’s astonishingly prefect act (ironically playing the perfectionist himself; Dr. Bhabha) that stays with you for the longest of all durations. Safe to say this chap is one of India’s finest on screen talents right now.
-> If you ever wanted a lesson on the real value & definition of patriotism minus all the chest thumping and bogus secular left sermons, Rocket Boys is the show to watch (or should I say hear!). From the undercurrent of rage simmering beneath the calm demeanor of Dr. CV Raman at a British officer’s taunts to Dr. Bhabha and Sarabhai daring to hoist the flag on the rooftop of IISc Bangalore, subtle and contextual moments of nationalism are on ample display right through this 8 episode web series (to an extent where the viewer’s made to believe Dr. Bhabha’s nuclear ambitions being one of personal glory when factually all he desired was to see India as a capable self sufficient nation state in the aftermath of the tragic Sino Indian war) the most resounding moment being Dr. Kalam’s dialogue “Barbaad gulistan karne ko bas ek hee ullu kaafi hai, Har shaakh pe ullu baithe hain, anjaam-e-gulistan kya hoga” (more specifically applicable in these phony secular times of internal sleeper cells, quasi Muslim victimization and few members of a certain community specifically watching content involving only the Khan’s to hammer home their point of “Islam above nation”).
-> the negatives are few and far between but one of the major one’s I noticed was the writer’s unwillingness to name and shame rogue agencies like the CIA and the Chinese (for their war mongering tactics) despite ample evidence of the abhorrent efforts by rogue uncle Sam to sabotage India’s space and nuclear program. Shares similarities with Vivek Ranjan’s “play it safe” approach in Kashmir Files where there was no mention of the American funded ISI’s hand in the Kashmir insurgency.
Nevertheless a well made, well written and well enacted series that deserves a sequel. Easily one of the best from India’s OTT library.

Pathaan’s box office GROSS is at ₹ 638 Cr (all versions) still 70 Cr short of Bahubali 2s GROSS collection of ₹ 708 Cr (Hindi only). Krish correct me if I’m wrong (since imbecile SRK fanatics wouldn’t like this), aren’t records meant to be broken in terms of GROSS figures? (Nett is always a variable especially since Bahubali 2 came pre GST). Highly hyperbolic and shambolic of Bollywood trade to manipulate and misreport. For the nincompoops who’re now gonna accuse me of hater this blah blah blah, this isn’t the first time Bollywood trade is indulging in such unethical practices. The exact scenario took place in 2006 (when BOI was newly launched and online portals were still fighting for viewership) when Krrish & Dhoom 2 were reported to have higher collections than Gadar based on NETT figures while the GROSS numbers were at least 20 Cr short of Gadar. The record breakers in REAL terms post 2000 continue to be Gadar, Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3, PK, Dangal and Bahubali 2 with Gadar and Bahubali 2 (Hindi) being the only record breakers when adjusted for inflation. Everything else is clickbait & hyperbole regardless of whosoever is your idol.

3.25 crores footfalls which is highest post pandemic. BTW, it’s not as if not all this was done to favor Pathaan. It’s been always the norm and I didn’t see this noise being mentioned all these years and when War also did 300 crores. It’s not like it only benefits Srk movie and flops like LSC which flopped at 59 crores wouldn’t have touched 50 crores pre-gst. The only main point about Pathaan and which is being mentioned everywhere that it’s getting the similar footfalls of prepandmic movies. Baahubali 2 got huge benefit as it came during best phase of movies where from 2013 to 2018 we had consistent around 300 crore movies and it gave Baahubali the additional push to go 25-30% further than previous biggest hit. Now, Pathaan came at a time where 300 crs also looked doubtful and it doing 500 crores is very credible. We will have all kinds of excuses put out to undermine it’s success. Yes, this should have been mentioned prior to the business. As Jayshah says, you beat what is infront of you. If the target was 700 crs gross, we would have another debate and another movie.

We can also argue that if Pathaan can do 625 gross post pandemic, it would have done 700 crs pre-pandemic. It’s samething. Solo films to do 500 crs is still huge target, both KGF2 and Baahubali were sequels of huge boxofficr and satellite winners. Next in that line will be Pushpa 2. Again, part 1 of any of such films or anything in future can dream to do even 300 crores.

Two things which are facts and I don’t know why it’s hard to digest for many.
1) Pathaan is highest Nett grosser for any Hindi film.

This is a very ‘loose’ way of looking at box office. It’s ‘compartmentism’. Simply isolating a particular aspect of a film, in this case language.
Also doesn’t matter if something is multi language, bilingual or single language.
The record books won’t bother to split total revenues. The profit loss to producer won’t care if it’s from a fanatical South Indian fanbase or a casual North Indian fanbase. Money is same. It’s Bollywood’s own issue that it cannot penetrate the South.
I doubt Americans care if Titantic made more than avatar in california.
These aren’t necessarily ‘badges’ of honour to brag about.
Pathaan’s #1 box office achievement is it’s UK number. It added 50%+ to previous record in a very flat market. That is beyond extraordinary. It took previous record of £2.7mn and is £4.3mn and counting. That is a MUCH bigger record and will or can only be broken by SRK.
India record will not last long IMO. In fact India isn’t even a legitimate all India record in first place. Once the South films have been doing this all India business it’s obvious where the true records in India belong.

For an industry divided by language its naive & illegitimate to look at highest ‘pan India’ grosser without context. Pathaan’s DOMESTIC comparison is with Hindi alone and its GLOBAL comparison is for worldwide numbers. On domestic count its second to BB2 while globally its India’s 5th after Dangal, BB2, RRR, KGF2. All other talk of NETT, territory, circuit comparison etc is for distributors to worry about, not any of us.

“Firstly a ‘country’ is a defined barrier”
industry is not defined barrier ? bollywood , hollywood ect???
language is not defined ? hindi for bollywood , penjabi for penjba film industy , and south languiages ofr south industry?
when you say “worldwide grosser ” and then say ” for indian movies ” other people say ” worldwide grosser in hindi language
for example if i say the legend of maula jutt is the biggest worldwide grosser in penjabi , do you have a probleme with this ?
the problem with you is that you add whatever categories you want when you want ( for india , region, countrys ) but have a problem when other say in hindi or for bollywood ect…
once again if you had said that dangal had done nothing special worldwide , then it would be ok, but here you add biggest worldwide for india, we say pathan biggest worldwide in hindi

Do you read what I type? I got no issue with sub category. But please don’t forget the main category of biggest grosser. Each country has there own biggest grosser. Go to any list and they will tell you. Even beloved BOI does, Bollywood Hungama, Koimoi, sacnilk etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_Indian_films
For ease look at Wikipedia. It doesn’t list Pathaan at #1. It starts with GLOBAL LIST OF GROSS. It doesn’t Start with a subset. You’re running before you can walk. All this effort to put Pathaan at #1. The way you talk you should count the collections at your local cinema only and ignore the ROW.
Both BB2 and Dangal are in $300mn WW range. You can then if needs must just look at Hindi language. Or you can go and ask your local theatre which grossed more!
The Hindi language narrative is built because some South movies swung into Bollywood’s territory and destroyed the records held so proudly and now Bollywood has something to crow about in retaliation. Yet the top 5 alltime Indian grossing films still have 3 non Bollywood movies. If you read how BOI writes it is the trap you’re falling into. It is always Indian cinema not just Bollywood mindset. Please stop the superiority complex as box office doesn’t discriminate – it is about numbers and narrative.

I know Trending is not as great as blockbusters like 83 and unchaai 🙂
But Pathaan is collecting more in 6th weekend then small hits like KGF2 and BB2 (both NON-BOLLYWOOD films)…
83 6th weekend = Too low to be reported but around 0.70 Cr
Unchaai 6th weekend = Too low to be reported but around 0.20 Cr
KGF 2 6th weekend = 1.7 Cr
BB2 6th weekend = 3.1 Cr
Pathaan 6th weekend = 5.5 to 6 Cr

Not first for ‘india’. You are novice. Highest listed Indian titles existed for long time. It would be a key metric for Indian movies from day 1. Languages can follow. But it is not the headline metric. It is headline metric today because like I said other Languages came onto Bollywood turf and gave surprise of life. This is important now to give Bollywood it’s crown back. That is all.
And if one was being absolutely truthful to oneself they would recognise that a dubbed film hanging with the best Bollywood can throw 6 years apart is different context.
Sequel or no sequel.
Let Pathaan 2 release and if it does 4x multiple that bb2 did to bb1 I will be first to say it’s biggest feat ever.
In any case ETT did 198 and TZH did 340 odd. When you add context to bb2 you realise what kind of monster it was. It’s only comparison is Sholay.
1000Cr net all India. Half of that is from a market it never dominated.

I don’t want to get into this debate above but want to add 1 point that bringing worldwide for Pathaan is too early and it’s just 40 days. Dangal released in China after 6 months and in Japan and rest after 1.5 years. Bajrangi Bhaijan released in China after 3 years. So, until Pathaan has completed its run, comparing is pointless at this point. We should compare areas where it released like US, UK, Gulf etc.

That’s why every Web portal would have * next to Pathaan because it is still running in cinemas. Think everyone understands Pathaan can only increase its collections and BB2, Dangal or Bajrangi Bhaijaan or HAHK have finished there runs.

In other milestone news, Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan continues to make history. Through Friday, it became the highest-grossing Bollywood movie ever worldwide excluding China. In the original Hindi language, it is the biggest ever when considering that Dangal’s $193M in China collections were from a dubbed version.
Through Saturday, Pathaan became the first original Hindi film to cross the 400 crore net mark in India and overtook Dangal with 401.4 crore net ($48.9M)

While talking of WW grossers, most people including BOI talk as if the trend started with DDLJ and ended with Dangal.
BOI recently came up with an article where it talked of the journey of overseas collections of Bollywood movies from 500 thousand to 2 million pounds, conveniently ignoring the collections from ‘certain’ countries.
Most experts ignore the elephant in the room, the massive Disco Dancer. Why? It’s anyone guess. A ‘B dance movie’ from the 80s that created a sensation in Russia and its songs have seeped in its pop culture.
Watch the euphoria here and decide.

Also , these wokiyas have to bring in the gay angle somehow , whether it is required or not – it is kind of a box to check for them. Lastly the twist at the end seemed illogical and senseless .

Iratta:
I find myself picking another Malayalam film for casual viewing after Netflix recommended me this based on my viewing habits. I knew the detailing would be spot on as expected from many a film from this language n industry, bit I didn’t brace myself for a stunning performance from Joju George in a dual role: that of a unruly cop and his twin brother — both in the force. The distinction he makes between two characters purely on basis of body language and dialogue delivery without any physical transformation is itself worth one’s undivided attention. One look at one of these characters and it would be easy to identify which one’s which. It’s minimal but astonishingly real.
But besides being a very sharply written and finely police procedural with multiple viewpoints and little backstories of a whole bunch of characters, it manages to touch upon themes of morality, redemption, guilt, and ultimate penance. All within 100 odd minutes of running time without being cluttered and screenplay jostling for space.
On surface it’s a simple, been there done that storyline. A man is shot multiple times in a busy space, but no one sees the crime taking place. Except that the man is a police officer and the scene of crime is a police station. Every major character has had a run-in with the ‘victim’ and has a clear motive for bumping him off.
The best part, however, is reserved for the climax. Making your jaw drop and hitting you right in the gut.

Surprised ajay “remake” devgun didn’t jump on this one and start remaking it with tabu, etc.

Ajay has a team of his own to dig out the south hits, which includes his manager Kumar mangat pathak and team who source South films for AJAY which does well in South BO and then buy rights at cheap rates and then remakes in Hindi.

he was lucky to bag rights for Drishyam 1 (mal), when it was released in 2013 through one his AD’s, who directed EZRA (Malayalam) which was remade in hindi as Dybbuk with Emran hashmi, produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak.

And yet his biggest blockbuster in recent times is far from being a remake. Anyhow the Drishyam films would never have worked commercially with any other mainstream star though with character artists like Bajpayee or KK at the helm the films would have been equally effective.

Glad you liked it.
Well, I wouldn’t say this is a mass friendly subject, and that gut wrenching climax will not be easily digested. Ajay looks for crowd pleasing subjects that he can mint millions out of

I don’t want to bring up climax and ruin it for those who have not seen it but my wife and I gasped as soon as we realized the truth and the end with father not wanting his daughter to see him due to (his face)…
Extremely well executed. The lead playing is just too good. You can easily make out which one is which based on his facial expression, his body language. You don’t have to rely on corps to make out difference.

For people who are bored of Pathaan, just thought this would be an interesting poll. It’s basically to choose the best of Indian cinema in the year 2022 across all languages. I’ve chosen four nominations and left the fifth one to your choice, so you can add anyone you feel is left out:
