Is Sympathy Wave Turning Like A Tsunami?
First off, because Superstar Shahrukh hasn't produced a successful movie in a while, there is a great sympathy wave surrounding him. His box office failures since 2016 include Fan, Dear Zindagi, Raees, Harry Met Sejal, and Zero. people want his upcoming film "Pathaan" to be nothing short than a tremendous hit for a variety of reasons, one of which is that. And the movie's action-packed trailer made a lot of promises to that effect.
On the other hand, since all the major heroes have had at least one flop, bollywood has only witnessed failures recently. Except for Drishyam 2, none of the big movies starring actors like Akshay Kumar, ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh, and ranbir kapoor actually did well at the box office. As a result, the hindi audience as a whole was encouraged to watch an original hindi film that actually did well at the box office. They are placing enormous bets on Pathaan as a result.
For all these wonderful reasons, the sympathy wave is acting as a tsunami in Pathaan's favour, and the movie may see a fantastic opening weekend thanks to this enthusiasm.
