Pathaan is looking all set to emerge and ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER as it sees a superb hold on Monday with collections looking to be well over 20 crore nett at 23-24 crore nett. There are mass pockets like MP and UP which are huge for a Monday and are likely to fall less than the national average so it will be no surprise that if the end of the day collections actually reach the 25 crore nett mark.

The film recorded an unbelievable weekend and it was five days where it consumed a lot of business and with thw 20% drop of ticket rates at multiplexes the target was a 20 crore nett plus Monday and it will easily do that. The biggest non Monday till date is KGF 2 and Dangal at around 25 crore nett and Pathaan may edge past these collections but even if its lower it hardly matters as its about the hold and falling around 35% from the Friday for a film with such huge numbers on the board is simply extraordinary. Also most important is that the hold guarantees a strong run for weeks.

The film is looking to be an ALL TIME BLOCBUSTER and among the top films in the history of Hindi cinema but we will have to wait for the second Friday for confirmation of that. It will be the first genuine ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER post the pandemic. KGF 2 managed the tag and although the all India number may not have warranted that tag you have to take into account it was a limited Hindi release in South and the Hindi circuits recorded ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER business.

The extended first week business of the film is looking to be 340-350 crore nett depending on where Monday actually lands. It is going to take out the business of Dangal and KGF 2 in no time and its about target Bahubali - The Conclusion and that remains to be seen.
