These are lead actors who have outshined at the box office in the first quarter

Pathaan
While there was a lot of concern about the Hindi film theatrical business post the pandemic, especially at a time when Hindi films weren’t firing at the box office, there are lead actors who have outshined at the box office in the first quarter!
Shah Rukh Khan in and as Pathaan, from the fabled YRF Spy Universe, with his humongous all-time historic blockbuster Pathaan set the cash counters ringing in January this year. The film became a global phenomenon as audiences thronged to theatres again and again to make this a monstrous hit like no other. It collected over 1050.30 crores worldwide gross! Pathaan was also the Hindi film industry’s answer to the `boycott calls` that were believed to have hit Bollywood, resulting in the failure of many movies back-to-back. Siddharth Anand has said earlier, “I`m happy that Pathaan has become a game-changer for the industry. We were said to have been boycotted by people. I`m happy that Pathaan has become the answer to all that talk. The industry has heard enough. I`m happy that we have let our work do the talking.”
