Can FAN beat Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani?

Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN is one of the biggest non-festive releases of the year and expectations from the film are high, more so after a trailer that received a good response from majority of the audience.

The film releases in theatres on April 15 and all eyes will be on the opening day collections of the film. If FAN scores on Day 1, more big films could target smaller (or normal) weekends to release their films, as major holiday weekends are getting more crowded with each passing day.

The first target for FAN would be to surpass the opening day business of 2013 film ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ which collected Rs 19.46 crore on a non-holiday (and non-festive) Friday.

No film that has released on a working day without the advantage of a festive weekend (i.e Eid, Dilwali, Christmas) has collected more than Rs 20 crore. Will FAN be the first film to do so?

  • 150-170 would be target for the makers.Unless the wom is really good 200 would be really tough.It would be great if other stars too release their movies on normal weekends.It would reduce competition and monopoly of Khans during the lucrative festival periods.

    BTW Yjhd had one of the most popular tracks in recent times and the word of mouth was excellent in multiplexes where it ran for many weeks.Unfair to compare both the movies

  • Yzhd will beated by Fan ( 80% chance ), Housefull3 ( 99% chance ), in 2016 on non- holiday weekend. there r no other movie can beat Yzhd.

  • and some of srk “fans” need to realize that if you insult other actors than you are not a real fan of srk. not just srk fans, every true fan of an actor/actress should have some respect and manners because insulting others it not what they want or like. if they would read one of your comments they would be ashamed of you and would not consider you as a fan.
    so please stop with the insulting

  • hhhhmmnnnn….

    From a Salman Fan,

    135-150 cr on good….
    150-175 cr on excellent…..my choice
    200 cr on extremely positive…

  • Without fighting among ourselves now , let’s wait for one more month .
    Everyone will get their answers .

  • Don’t know about BO figures , but SRK had already delivered a performance of a lifetime in FAN – it’s quite evident from the trailer .

    FAN might also be SRK’s best performance till date .

  • Kya phadak padta hai.
    Its already a super duper blockbuster for us.
    Tum log ginte rehna calculator banke,
    Hum to theater mein jayenge King ka #JabraFan banke.

    33 days 2 go #FAN

  • @Destroyer :

    Spend more time on creating something rather than destroying Khans , because Khans will never be destroyed .

  • @indicine you are saying that if a partial holiday release (FAN)beats the opening day of a non holiday release YJHD(released 3 years back) would be an achievement,then all that i should comment is LOL.

    The minimum target for Fan would be to cross 25 crores on day 1

  • Salman khan ,amitabh bachchan and dilip kumar are the only actors with three films having 3.5 crore footfalls

  • Its about the content eventually.Opening is bound to be around 25crores which is quite big as it is a non holiday release.If public can connect with the film it can do wonders at the Box Office.And those who think srk is not a big star they should wait for FAN & RAEES,they will get their answers.
    If content is liked by audience 200 crore is not very far for FAN.

  • Fan will find it tough to beat YJHD’s opening day record due to IPL..
    I think first day will be- 17 crs.
    If content will be good then lifetime more than YJHD otherwise 145 crs.

  • Fan releases in 4200 screens but yjhd releases in 3000 screens
    It’s will be shame to his fans and srk if he can’t break the yjhd record
    #a big shame

  • @jay
    Papa dikhaye nahi diye kya tujhe at the TOP
    Every record belongs to salman….big LOL
    Which records are u talking about???
    Most number of flops/disaster among three khans???

    Highest first day SRK
    Highest weekend SRK
    Fastest to 100cr. SRK
    Highest grosser. Aamir
    Where is Salman biwi jaan???

  • Fan weekend will be around 70 to 75 crrs
    If accepted 200 crs plus blockbuster
    If mixed 150 to 160 crrs super hit
    If rejected 120 to 145 crrs hit
    Not in this planet any chance of movie get a tag of flop if brand srk full fledged attached to it…moreover its a bad phase of a king lolzzzz

  • Srk hny with deepika,multistarcast ,and the biggest diwali releases and 5000 screens faliled to break the record of yjhd so lol on u indicibe ranbir is the biggest star ever in this industry

  • 20cr opening
    And 150crore lifetime is good for A movie like FAN

    Some fake ID’s are predicting 30cr. Opening…and 250cr lifetime

  • 20cr opening
    And 150crore lifetime is good for A movie like FAN
    Beacuse
    Non holiday
    Non festive
    During IPL
    Without a female lead
    Without song
    Without item number
    ONLY SRK is there otherwise 100 bhi excellent hota FAN jaisi movie ke liye

    Some fake ID’s are predicting 30cr. Opening…and 250cr lifetime

  • His record yes the biggest rockstar superstar ranbir kapoor record in unbrokable ….
    #proud rk fan
