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?

  • I still think 150 will be great totall.YJHD had grt music and ranbir deepika combo helped it with familiar genre..here movie is a bit dark but anything can be possible hope it will do beyond my expectation.but surelly it will cross 20 cr on openning day which will be grt achievement.cant wait for fan.

  • 14 th Apr is national holiday…ambedkar jyanti …so its holiday weekend don’t project like non festive release

  • No chance of fan doing 188 + crore. Even 150 + crore would be surprising. No srgay film that has released without festive or national holidays has even crossed 75. Indicine perceive the situation.

  • Opening will be 21-23 crores.. Take a screenshot..After watching FDFS of FAN I’ll give my review Predictions.. Still It’ll surely collect 140 …For lifetime wait 4 d release I’ll predict..

  • Dabangg2 did 21 + Crore in 2012 already. Stop making excuses just like that you mentioned in article. Fan should cross 30 + Cr barrier. BB, PK & Kick already crossed 26+ Crore mark.

  • @indicine nt expected from you.
    kick , bajranji bhaijaan was eid release bt was nt release on eid. instead it was release in most influential time…
    So how it became holiday release???
    and taking abt fan, love game which is schedule to release on 8 apr will eat…
    it seems like hate story 4

  • YJHD had ‘novelty’ factor going for it. So does FAN so far in building the hype.

    Audience are interested to see how tense of a thrill “SRK-vs-SRK” factor generates through out FAN running time.

    If the overall psychotic drama thrill factor in FAN is kept high, WOM will be very strong. And this will carry month long imo.

    FAN must open in 4300+ screens. FAN must be crisply edited down to 2 hrs maximum as it has no romance angle, no female lead like YJHD and no songs. Its screenplay requires it to be very tight.

  • srk fans please be ready wid suitable reason why fan and raees flopped.
    it would be difficult for u guys to make reason on the spot

  • and srk fan gundey rated is 2 yes that’s right
    bt do u no the reason???
    @indicine please them the reason of imbd 2 rate
    hope @indicine u will give correct answer

  • @indicine nt expected from you.

    and all knows how hate story 3 was hit at box office making 303% PRofit

    too mucj fun

  • @king biscuit,why don’t u give ur advice to SK fans they are the ones who start abusing srk in every article.so srkians will definitely reply and give them their own medicine.

  • Fan not even crush the yjhd record but will trush the record of ek tha chuha on non holiday…just wait and watch

  • When kangna can score 150 crore on non holiday.then think when u have worlds biggest movie star with huge stardom then it is very easy for him to thrash each and every record…

  • Nope. The question should rather be will It cross talaash opening and life time ? This time no rohit or deepika so no chance for more than 100 Cr.

  • I sure fan will be creating biggest non holiday opening & life time box office collection…After the 200 cr collection of Fan lallu fan’s & Fan less Aamir fans will skip talking about non holiday box office…
    because flopho is collected only 112 cr… with masala genr, Largest screens& Bhai one year gap
    And Also fan less Aamir Talash is only collected 95 cr with good wom & Good Actress….
    King khan will give tight Slap to All haters in April15…
    Eagerly waiting for Fan… 34 days left…
    Duniya ka Sabse bada superstar ka sabse bada Fan
    #Fasal kerala
