Pathaan's advance booking performance matches that of last year's big hit Brahmastra (in which Shah Rukh Khan had an extended cameo). The record for opening day ticket sales is held by KGF: Chapter 2, which sold over 5 lakh tickets on its first day. "The terrific advance bookings of Pathaan have brought abundant cheer and optimism within the industry," Taran Adarsh tweeted.
