Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in the lead, was a major blessing for Bollywood amid dwindling times. The film not only became the biggest opener of all time in Hindi cinema but also crossed the 1000-crore mark at the global box office. Will the legacy continue with its Japan release and leave behind a masterpiece like RRR? Scroll below for a detailed analysis.
RRR marked history in Japan as it completed 200 days of interrupted run in the international market. And while doing so, it bagged the crown of ‘Highest grossing Indian film’ in the country with collections of about 119 crores gross. The feat is indeed huge, but will Pathaan be able to topple it?
