Pathaan's huge success has started looking even bigger now, since all the Bollywood films released after that are struggling to get a clean hit. Pathaan was a mega blockbuster, the first since Tanhaji (January 2020), while other releases have failed to match even half of it. Shehzada, Selfiee, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, and Bholaa were 4 big releases that were supposed to become the "next hit after Pathaan," but all failed to live up to the expectations. TJMM and Bholaa at least scored respectable numbers—lower than Hit Bizz, though—but Shehzada and Selfiee were far too low. Have a look at the business of these four films.
