Pathaan Box Office: Deepika Padukone Starrer’s weekend is more than 100 crores ahead of Race 2, her last action movie which came out exactly 10 years ago
It was in 2009 when Deepika Padukone acted in her very first action movie, Chandni Chowk To China. In a double role, it was her character of Suzy who kicked and jumped. Report that she got into a femme fatale avatar in race 2, which also involved some cool action, and while she didn’t pull off too many stunts, her athletic physicality suited the role well. The movie was one 100 Crore Club good luck after enjoying a weekend away 51.35 crores.
Well, Deepika now has much more to rejoice about, just like with Pathaan, she has played as a true blue ‘Bond girl’ and this time the action has gone much higher too. In the process, the weekend of the Shah Rukh Khan-led film was born 166.75 crores which is unbelievable 100 crores anticipating what Race 2 had done. Incidentally, Race 2 was also released on January 25 and that too exactly 10 years ago in 2013, which is a really cool coincidence.
Here’s a look at the biggest weekends (or first three days) Deepika Padukone films have scored over the years:
Pathane – 166.75 crores
Happy new year – 108.86 crores
Chennai Express – 93.66 crores
Padma vat – 78 crores
Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani – 62.11 crores
Ram Leela – 51.49 crores
Racing 2 – 51.35 crores
Bajirao Mastani – 46.77 crores
This is 83 – 47 million
Tamasha – 38.23 crores
The next big action movie is going to be Fighter, although that’s more like an aviation action thriller than the kind that requires body-to-body combat scenes. It remains to be seen how Deepika Padukone battles it out on screen again in the lead role of Hrithik Roshan.
