Crazy! Who had expected this? There is pandemonium. Whistles and claps are a thing of the past. Auditoriums have turned into stadiums. ‘Pathaan’ has hit the ground running- and how!

While Akshaye said that his conservative estimate is Rs 35 crore or thereabouts, Adarsh, Bansal and Ruban were certain that it’s going above 40 cr on Day 1.
