Shah Rukh Khan`s return to the screen after a gap of four years was definitely the high point at the box office in 2023. With the pandemic depriving audiences of theatrical experience and boycott Bollywood trend taking over social media, the box office report card was not looking good at the start of 2023. But all that changed when audiences danced their way to the theatres on January 25, 2023, to watch the king on the big screen. Directed by Siddarth Anand, Pathaan was declared a hit on the day of its release breaking box office records.
Now as the year came to an end, Siddharth took to his X handle to share his thoughts around the film and what it was like for him before and after the release of Pathaan. "As the new year draws to a close, I take a moment and look back. The year 2023 that changed everything for me. It started with a lot of nervousness and anxiety. PATHAAN, my film was releasing amidst a sea of forces against it. Something very weird called Boycott Bollywood was the phrase of the season. Hindi films were written off by naysayers. And then the day came. 25th January."
