Pathaan released on January 25, 2023, which is full of drama and action directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Aditya Chopra. It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone in lead roles and will have John Abraham as an antagonist. It showcases an undercover police official and drug lord. Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani have worked on its music. It was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu.
In his unique way, Vishek Chauhan, the proprietor of Roopbani Cinema in Purnea, Bihar, expressed his delight at the response to Pathaan by commemorating its 50th day of screening. To mark the occasion on March 16, he offered tickets to the 12:30 PM show of Pathaan for a meagre Rs. 50. Surprisingly, the response to the screening of a film that had already been watched by regular cinema-goers on a weekday afternoon was very encouraging.
Celebrating 50 days of Pathaan in his theatre was particularly special for Vishek Chauhan as per him, since the last film to achieve this milestone at his cinema was Krrish, featuring Hrithik Roshan, which was released way back in 2006.
“I am very happy with the response to Pathaan. After a gap of 17 years, a film has successfully completed 50 days in our cinema hall. The last film to run for 50 days was Krrish. On the special occasion, we sold tickets for Rs. 50. We were surprised with the turnout as the occupancy was around 60-70%. This is a terrific response for a film which is on its 50th day. I am very thankful to YRF, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Sidharth Anand, Salman Khan and the others in the cast and crew. We’d also like to thank the audience. During COVID-19, the theatrical medium was quite affected. But Pathaan proves that cinema halls are going nowhere. As long as the right film comes along, the audiences will always be there to watch the film,” Bollywood Hungama quoted Vishek Chauhan as saying.
Upon being asked if Pathaan was the biggest grosser in Roopbani Cinema after COVID-19 pandemic, he responded, “For our cinema hall, this is one of the biggest films of all time, forget pre or post-pandemic. The domestic lifetime numbers say it all. It has overtaken Baahubali 2 (2017). Even in our theatre, the collections have gone beyond Baahubali 2 and many other films.”
