The theatrical trailer of FAN has been received positively both by the trade and the audience, as the film is being touted as Shah Rukh Khan’s return to roles that demand on-screen histrionics.
Comparisons are being made to films like ‘Darr’ and ‘Baazigar’, which kick-started Shah Rukh’s career in the industry and made him the superstar that he is today.
Some tweets:
- Milap Zaveri: The Fan trailer is simply FANtastic! This is the Shah Rukh Khan, I grew up being the biggest fan off! Baazigar Darr.
- Sidharth Malhotra: Yes (I’ve watched the Fan Trailer) and it looks super thrilling and interesting, eager to watch it
- Ronit Roy: Fan looking so good. I saw the same hunger in the fans eyes I saw in Baazigar. Next SRK level is on. Love you.
- Sujoy Ghosh: This FAN trailer is kickum assum!! no one does menace like SRK.
- Sushant Singh Rajput: As a fan of SRK I have never been a bigger FAN. What a fabulous trailer..
- Nikhil Advani: Now here’s the SRK that we grew up worshipping. DARR revisited.
- Emraan Hashmi: Loved the Fan Trailer!! Great work Shah Rukh Khan!! Waiting for the movie now.
- Varun Dhawan: Wow Shah Rukh sir you have raised the bar yet again. Brilliant YRF and Maneesh Sharma your the man.
- Karan Johar: So this is the trailer of the decade! #Fan… Shah Rukh Khan is unbelievable and pure genius!
However, since the industry is known to over-exaggerate and praise even the most mediocre of movies and trailers, what truly matters at the end of the date is the response from the trade and more importantly, the audience.
Thankfully, the response has been terrific so far. The trade is in a celebratory mood as the trailer of FAN has not only impressed, but also surprised. Industry insiders always knew that the film was going to be ‘Darr’ like, but action sequences in the film along with the popularity of the ‘Jabra’ song released in various languages, has significantly increased the reach and mass-appeal of the film.
The month of April doesn’t usually have big releases – the last big film that went on to be a huge grosser at the box office was Housefull 2 back in 2012. Since then, only films, 2 States and Aashiqui 2, have managed to perform. Big stars have preferred not to release their films, which is why the ‘IPL month’ could see audience flocking to theatres to watch Shah Rukh Khan on the big screen.
On Youtube, the theatrical trailer of FAN has also received more than 4 million views in less than 2 days. In comparison, the first teaser of FAN got 6.5 million views in 7 months and the second teaser has received 10 million views in 4 months. (Note: Youtube only. The combined view count on Youtube and Facebook has crossed 6 million)
With nearly 92000 likes, the theatrical trailer is soon set to cross the 1 lakh likes mark. It’s soon going to be more than the combined ‘likes’ of Fan Teaser 1 (38,000) and Fan Teaser 2 (60,000). The ratio of likes vs dislike is excellent too.
Overall, FAN is set to be the biggest release in the first half of 2016. As far as the all-important box office is concerned, the first target will be a 20 crore opening, which would be excellent if its achieved. It’ll also be interesting to see if YRF go all out and give the film a big release like other commercial films starring Shah Rukh Khan. It also remains to be seen if ticket prices will be increased to festive levels.
Stay tuned for the Indicine FBO and LBO updates later today.
FAN will again bring all 3 khans in neck to neck competition. LOVE THE KHAN TRIO!!
As Karan Johar rightly tweets, this is the trailer of the decade.
Not just that, I can assure everyone that this is gonna be the SRK’s best performance. Landmark movie coming on April 15.
Brave yourself, the King is arriving once again.
Gaurav nahi toh Aryan nahi.

Whenever SRK does a negative role, thr film always rocks & becomes a classic.
Baazigar, Darr, Anjaam, Don, Don 2 & now FAN & RAEES!
Everyone is praising FAN trailer, except few typical morons. Really, SRK has raised the bar with FAN. No matter how much it collects (being a non-holiday release), it’s going to be a visual treat for me and many others.
Crappiest trailer trade is totally biased towards srk
Overacting ki dukan
#DisasterOfTheYear
As I said earlier after Fan and Raees SRK will regain his no 1 position in Bollywood!!
Not sure if it will appeal the single screen audiences, but FAN should be released at least on 3500 screens. Most importantly, length of the movie is less than/around 2.5 hours, so it will help the exhibitors to accommodate more number of shows on a given day.
My box office prediction for FAN –
Opening Day – 23-24 cr
1st Weekend – 70 cr.
(Highest Non Holiday Opener & Highest Non Holiday Opening Weekend)
If WOM negative .. Lifetime 130-150 cr.
If WOM mixed .. Lifetime 160-180 cr.
If WOM positive .. Lifetime 200 cr +
If WOM extremely positive then Sky is the limit.
I need not mention about awards because SRK will sweeping them all next year ?

Loved that @indicine
Fan z not a niche film.it has a wider appeal.And hopefully with increase in ticket price it could b a huge grosser.
I urge YRF to book as many screens as possible and do huge promotion.
Love u srk n proud to b ur fan
#Jabra fan
Even with a niche movie, SRK is gonna bring in a box office tsunami.
King by name, King by game.

Kudos to the marketing and PR team of FAN which shocked everyone with the trailer, prior to the trailer everyone thought it’s gonna be a mushy mushy drama between the idol & his FAN, & the dark edgy trailer has just blown away everyone’s mind.

I saw the trailer it was pretty good I will not call it exceptional but it is looking different . After Ra.One SRK will be back in a double role and both the characters are diametrically opposite to each other which makes it even more difficult . This movie will be a treat for SRK fans because they will see their own reflection in Gaurav . But how much neutral audiences will like it is a important question . The concept of Fan turning Enemy is looking interesting and different and let’s hope this movie turns out to be a treat for everyone . It is too early to compare with Darr and Baazigar because both of them are brilliant performances . This is the Best trailer of SRK in this decade and let’s hope this turns out to be the Best Movie of SRK .
Its the best trailer i have seen in years….the acting is awesome also the vfx are spot on…its not a niche film it has action sequences also so it should get a wide release…
pls watch robert de nir0 the fan and mahesh bhat dastak 1996…
all three of these film have same concept i.e fan obession…
trailor is just a piece of masterpiece..
will watch forst day first show…
its luking more comericial not niche as srk said.. so ita must have release on holiday…
My friends hv already decided to watch Fan fdfs mainly bcz v love srk the antagonist
Darr
Baazigar
Don
Don2
All r iconic hits
but Fan will b miles ahead of all them
Thanx to maneesh sharma of band baja baarat and sudh desi romance fame and of Course genius called SRK
The movie is beyond box office but at the end of the day, box office collection’s matter alot.
SRK the Superstar has been hurt after the ‘underperformance’ (acc to his standards) of Dilwale, if SRK the actor strikes gold, even SRK the Superstar will benefit.
I want all Srkians to take the theatre’s by storm, come 15th April.

Avg. Trailor. Nothing New
Jthj, don 2 etc also got excellent responses on YouTube. But the result was only 100cr (that too with the help of manipulation). The same gonna happen with billu 2 too.
To all haters plz do watch fan many times so that u can spot as many mistakes as possible to spread ur negativity.
I love u all haters n I acknowledge all of u 4 making srk bigger n bigger.
@Tiger,@yuvraj
I am expecting u guys to watch fan at least 8 times since ur brains are dumbest of all.If u do that u could spot many mistakes.
#Jabra fan
The Overactor’s fans are busy on YouTube, Indicine & other social networking sites instead of watching his movies. That’s why despite having 3.7 billion fans (lol) he is struggling to go past even 150cr mark (eg- excusewale).
Lets see that can it break Krrish 3 trailer record of most youtube views .
@Indicine
U said u will modify ur prediction as soon as the trailer is out.So please do write an article on ur new expectaty.Tnx.
#Jabra fan
I watched trailer so many times..coz as a SRK fan when i alwys watch his trailer i liked..but this time i dicided to watch as nutral audiance and i found it great fast and gripping and bitt dark..the best thing about trailer is that you have to remind yourself is that the chracter of the gaurav is also SRK you visualise 2 character and which is great thing and SRK acting at its best..really shocking trailer..the only minus is the VFX yes it is great but some times it is un even hope they will work on it before it release..about box office i thing movie is a bitt dark so the 150 cr will be realistic but u can say anything now a days box office is unpreadictable..all the best FAN team..and congrats all SRK fans..
Everyone seems love this epic trailor.
Special thanks to salman khan.
What a gesture he shown.
Hope this film make every1 satisfied just one thing –
0:45 to 0:52 for just this seven seconds I m sold sir . FDFS without any doubt.
And many more shows after that.
#FAN
KING KHAN
Best trailer
And should be the best film
After CSI
If Fan didnt cross 20 cr. Opening then i will agree to haters that Sallu nd Amir nd Hrithik is better than him. One more thing is that with Positive review if FAN cant cross 170 cr domestic nd 20million dollar in overseas then also i agree that he is behind Sallu nd Amir . I just saying this bcz ther r so many people saying that FAN will not cross 20 cr in opening day nd 100cr lifetime. The haters also degrading the movie very badly. But i know my King’s power nd he will prove that to every one when FAN releases. If any one disagreeing with me then please write it now with ur original id.
@Chuhe my loyal JACK 02:04 pm : 2 out of his last 3 films crossed 200 CR mark on box-office and you are still stuck with 150 CR?
Yes, FAN trailer response is terrific on YouTube and social media, but the irony is, non-acotr’s non-holiday release Flop Ho couldn’t get a better response either on internet or box-office. FAN will thrash the Flop Ho collections from left, right and centre. So keep waiting because I want to see your sad but ugly face post April 15.
@02:09 pm : lol, without holidays and CLASH, non-actor is struggling to go past 120 CR. So let him cross the 120 CR mark first, then talk.
@tiger the real chuha .. Yeah right. Just liked Bhai struggled to cross 100 cr with his epic republic day classic ‘Jai Ho’.
#Kaali
Not positive
But excellent response
All the peoples Praising Trailer & SRK…Srkians and non Srkians. ..except bhaitards
@ jabra fan- i can give you better reply but i am not shameless like you. srk fans should stop their nonsense atleast today because his father in law had expired just tomorrow.
