The Indian film industry has been abuzz with the latest box office collections of two highly anticipated films, Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” and Akshay Kumar’s “Selfiee”. “Pathaan”, an action-packed thriller featuring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, has emerged as a clear winner at the box office, earning a staggering Rs 1023.5 crores globally. On the other hand, “Selfiee” has lagged behind with a comparatively modest collection of Rs 13.7 crores.
“Pathaan” has been one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, with fans eagerly waiting for Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen after a long hiatus. The film, which released on November 25th, has been received positively by both critics and audiences alike. The movie features Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar, playing the role of a ruthless gangster who takes on the police and other criminal organizations.
The massive box office collection of “Pathaan” is a testament to Shah Rukh Khan’s star power and his ability to draw audiences to the theaters. The film has performed exceptionally well not just in India but also internationally, with a significant chunk of the collection coming from overseas markets. The movie has reportedly earned around $60 million globally, making it one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
On the other hand, “Selfiee”, a comedy film featuring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, has failed to make much of an impact at the box office. The film, which released on the same day as “Pathaan”, has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Despite a strong marketing campaign and Akshay Kumar’s popularity, the movie has failed to draw audiences to the theaters, resulting in a lackluster box office collection.
The massive gap in box office collections between “Pathaan” and “Selfiee” highlights the importance of star power and content in the Indian film industry. While Shah Rukh Khan’s massive fan following and the gripping storyline of “Pathaan” have propelled it to box office success, “Selfiee” has struggled to find an audience due to its weak storyline and lack of novelty.
Overall, “Pathaan” has emerged as a clear winner at the box office, while “Selfiee” has lagged behind in terms of collections and critical acclaim. It remains to be seen how both films will fare in the coming weeks, but for now, “Pathaan” is the clear winner in the box office race.
