Pathaan not only became the fastest Hindi film to break the 300 crore mark following Baahubali 2’s Hindi version, but it also retains the record for the greatest-ever first-week collection in Hindi cinema. Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Ashutosh Rana, and Dimple Kapadia, grossed Rs. 634 crores in just seven days worldwide. Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, was released on January 25.
On Wednesday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that Pathaan has the greatest ever week one box office collection in Hindi cinema, grossing 634 crores worldwide, 395 crores of which was earned in India.

Pathaan’s box office receipts in India on Tuesday put it in the 300 crore club in just seven days. In its first week, the film grossed 315 crore net in India. According to Taran’s tweet on Wednesday, the Shah Rukh-starrer has already surpassed Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’s Hindi version’s 2017 record of reaching 300 crores in only 10 days. The Hindi version of KGF: Chapter 2 (2022) is currently the third fastest film to hit the 300 crore mark, thanks to Pathaan’s unstoppable box office collection; the film achieved the goal in 11 days, compared to Pathaan’s 7 days.
Pathaan has set numerous records since its initial release. Previously, the film had crossed the 200 crores net milestone in only four days, making it the fastest Hindi film to do so. Pathaan broke records with its amazing bookings even before the film’s premiere. Pathaan reservations commenced on January 20.
Pathaan was released on January 25 amid boycott demands and protests against the cast and crew of the film. At a recent media gathering, his first since Pathaan’s triumph, Shah Rukh thanked the audience for their support. He had stated, “Maksad ek hi hota hai (Everyone has one motive). Even when I’m portraying a nasty man like [in] Darr, we should spread joy, fraternity, love, and kindness. Even if I’m playing a Baazigar and John is acting badly in a movie. We are all good. We’re all pretending to be characters to make you happy. Nothing we say in the film is designed to offend anyone or any sentiment. It is purely for entertainment purposes.”
