Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan is now the “no 1 Hindi film in India,” followed by dubbed versions of Baahubali: The Conclusion, KGF: Chapter 2, and Aamir Khan's Dangal, reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The movie, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, earned Rs 1.05 crore on its sixth Friday at the box office, taking the total collections in India to Rs 511.70 crore. According to Taran Adarsh, “Another strong weekend is on the cards” for Pathaan, which indicates that the film will continue to make records at the box office after becoming the biggest Hindi film of all time. Sharing the update, the trade analyst wrote, “Absence of notable/new films in the market gives Pathaan a big boost… Numbers witness an upward trend on [sixth] Friday… Another strong weekend is on the cards… [Week 6] Friday 1.05 crore. Total: Rs 511.70 crore. Hindi. India business” and added, “Now No. 1 Hindi film in India.”
