The much-awaited action-thriller has crossed 1 million tickets in advance sales on BookMyShow already. Advance sales for Pathaan have been opening up in phases with over 3500 screens available on the platform so far, even as a surge in demand has led select cinemas across India to open up early morning shows for the film.” On Jan 23, “Pathaan” sold 4.19 lakh tickets in three cinemas; Cinepolis, Inox and PVR.
