Pathaan crosses £100 million mark in worldwide gross, creates history

Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan has created history by becoming the first Hindi movie to cross the coveted £100 million mark at the worldwide box office in phase one of its release, Yash Raj Films (YRF) said on Tuesday.

YRF claimed that Pathaan has become the highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of Hindi cinema in its initial run.


Aamir Khan's Dangal is the highest-grossing Indian film with reported earnings of around £200 million.

In its initial run or phase one of the release, the movie earned over £70 million. In its second phase, when it was released in theatres in China, the film's box office crossed the £100 crore mark in worldwide gross.

Other films that crossed the £100 million mark at the global box office include Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, RRR, and K.G.F: Chapter 2.

Pathaan follows the titular spy (Shah Rukh) who comes out of exile to stop terrorist group Outfit X from launching a debilitating attack on India.

The stylish action thriller also features John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana.

Pathaan is Shah Rukh's first big screen release as a lead in over four years after Zero (2018).

It is the fourth movie in producer Aditya Chopra's spy universe, following Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger and Tiger Zinda Hai, and War, featuring Hrithik Roshan.

The fifth film in the franchise, titled Tiger 3, is scheduled to release this year.

Diddy sues NBCUniversal for $100M over explosive documentary allegations

Sean "Diddy" Combs has taken legal action against NBCUniversal, its streaming platform Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment, seeking $100 million in damages over the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court, claims the documentary falsely portrays him as a criminal, making baseless accusations about his involvement in sex trafficking, abuse, and even murder.

The lawsuit alleges that the documentary advances wild conspiracy theories, linking Combs to the deaths of his former partner Kim Porter, rapper Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, and others. According to Combs' legal team, the film deliberately presents him as a "monster" and compares him to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, despite a lack of credible evidence.
