Bollywood Film Pathaan Collects Rs. 55 Crore in India on Day 1: YRF

Since the content quality of almost all Bollywood films is very bad, the films blatantly show violence and vulgarity to deceptively attract film consumers – most of whom are illiterate.

“It is a historic day for Indian cinema and we are humbled to see the love and appreciation that is flowing for Pathaan globally,” said Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films. 

Pathaan is part of Aditya Chopra’s spy universe and the film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. The film has been directed by Siddharth Anand.

Meanwhile, a Twitter hashtag #boycottpathan is running on the microblogging site to boycott Pathaan, as its song “Besharam Rang” apparently promotes obscenity by the actress Deepika Padukone who appears in a bikini.
