PATHAAN - SRK'S FIRST EVER HIGH-GROSSING FILM
And if we compare Pathaan's day 1 collection with Shah Rukh's previous four releases, the movie has turned out to be the star's biggest opener ever at the box office. SRK's 2018 Zero made around 19.35 cr, while his 2017 romantic comedy jab Harry Met Sejal minted 15.25 cr. Both films were also declared flops. Meanwhile, Raees, which was a semi-hit, made around 20.42 crores, and 2016's Dear Zindagi collected 8.75 crores.
Therefore, looking at the figures, Pathaan is Shah Rukh's highest-grossing film ever. As the film starts looking promising, the second day's advance booking is higher than day 1 given the national holiday (Republic Day).
