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.
All my comments are having 2 dislike mostly…..
Gauranteed 2 dislikes are from @TIGER the real Shit & Yuvraaj
*Bhaitards always want to bring Badshaah down. Reason is simple Salman never will be seen as a versatile actor. Look at Robert De Niro Leonardo Robert Downey Al pacino many more they have gone beyond
Hero from beginning hero to end type of actors. In movie industry you have to show the world you can also be the baddie but win hearts of everyone.
*Can Salman ever do a baddie movie and win hearts? no never! open challenge the day he does one single baddie mafia Don movie it gets successful than I will consider him beginning to follow the paths of Badshaah who did this 24 years ago.
* This goes out even for the new boys. Some have tried doing it but never a full fledged baddie if not never successful.
*Even the great Amitji Rajeshji did movies they particpated as baddie.Rajesh did it in the Red Rose.
* that’s why Shah Rukh khan forever will remain the number 1 all rounder actor. No big stars today have more negative movies that won the hearts of millions the closest may be should be Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar. That’s why conduct a poll on all round actors including Aamir Salman mark me they will be at no 4 and 5.
*Aamir khan. Can you do an Ajnabee?
*Salman khan can you do an company?
*Hrithik can you do Daar? never only time will tell. For All those finding Fan to be similar to Daar bazigaar tell me whose movie was them? Do you think it’s that easy? go to hell then or keep barking it’s a remake of the fan of rover de Niro and then let your actor do the role instead of a role of a wrestler or alien whom even Varun with better body than both the khan’s can do Ranbir Sushant will easily do pk comfortably I know it’s not fair comparing them but since some Bhaitards are being foolish why not. Why should I not speak the fact. In the history of bollywood only Srk movies has been nominated and won best villain then talk about Akshay and Ajay. Some even nominated best actor like Ouatim. What of our super hero Salman trashing 100 goons with 50 punches? can he ever do a negative role I ask again.? if no that just shut up and watch fan because even bhai admitted he is a fan already. Below are some iconic nominated movies of Bollywood biggies who drove the public crazy despite being Negative characters in the movie. Let’s see how many sallu and aamur movies enter the list.
Daar
Bazigaar
Anjaam
Don
Don2
Deewangee
Company
Omkara
Khaki
Ouatim
Ajnabee
Robot 2 in progress.
*No single dusra and teesra khan movies. What a shame. How many years in bollywood but they can’t because they are scared to do daring movies that may dent their ego. Is that what you call superstar? one does 1 film when Akshay finishes 4 films and is chilling with his family. The other does crapless movies post his 2nd rebirth 2009. Nonsense. Never will I believe Aamir Salman are half as versatile as Shah Rukh Akshay Ajay. impossible to think Salman is a better talented actor like Shah rukh khan and Ajay Devagun. I don’t have much issue with Aamir because I know he is the only one that can do it if he removes fear from his mindset and I consider him to be among the 3 talented acting stars with Shah rukh Ajay but his praise is limited for doing a third of movies done by Akshay khiladhi Kumar has done. For sallu bhai. Universal observation is
*Karan Arjun Badshaah was energetic dominant vocal from beginning to end with the most loved song of that era with kajol. Kkhh supporting lead. Hths Badshaah character was that of a real man not a charlie Chaplin Salman. Ask Madhuri she will tell you.
* Hddcs as someone commented his beautiful voice as a singer could not save him from having the heroine with an awful voice of Ajay. Ajay was unstoppable Vanraj character even today is rememberd. London dreams his crying crying from start to finish made him look like a total joker.
*Msk wicked Sunny (Akshay) showed him what charisma is all about.Janeman Akshay character was much loved and won hearts especially having Pretty Zinta from galaxy world not earth. Akshay despite being 2nd lead showed Salman why that time his career was at peak. Pull stop!
It’s proven Salman when acting with superior actors lapses is easily noticed. Just giving him lead role with a gun and a mask then make sure in every song the pocket of his trousers are large and spacious enough to accommodate his hands in it.
@ devil- who cares. i know you will change your name.
Sultana bhabhi was brilliant in jai ho than srk in fan.
Apna kaam banta bhad me jaye janta was classic compare to jabra fan
LOL
Only one non-actor fan @Chuha is shouting here …! The rest have gone inside their holes .
Just wait @Real Chuha – I’m coming … So better run to your hole …!
@Yuvraj
But u lier will b saying I’ve watched it and is the worst film ever Bollywood has made.u will b saying return my money.Y need 4 the negative comments.
But I believe if u can afford to comment on every srk articles u should afford to watch his movies at least thrice to give a good negative review
Pls do watch fan I request u.Love you
#jabra fan
Don’t like the trailer much even though it’s just me…it’s kind of confusing to be honest. Is Gaurav a Fan or a killer Fan? Or opposite I mean d real Srk is he a villain especially the way he is talking to Gaurav..
But I enjoyed the song Jaabra both Hindi n bhojpuri.
Box office numbers will always depend on the content of the movie because nowadays people watch movies which has meaning to it although the trailer has been appreciated by most let’s hope that the movie fulfills all d exceptions which it is carrying.
It can never be Darr or Bazigaar. No disrespect to Fan since its only the trailer but to be candid I preferred Airlift trailer more. It will open bigger than Airlift the content will determine it’s lengthy journey if d content n climax is par with Airlift then am sure it will reach @indicine lbo lifetime or more.
Will watch it though that’s for sure.
Sorry 4got to add @tiger if u r sick may b u have amnesia I sympathies with u.Hop all srkian don’t take this sick guy 4 serious coz he don’t even know what he z saying
#Jabra fan
Nothing new. Full of overacting and drama by our very own over actor.
So…I guess here is the king back in form…a masterpiece in store..another epic on the way…someone said it apt-“form is temporary…class is permanent….”goes apt for mr.shahrukh khan…back with full force…no one like you sir…a true gem of a talent to have in india….
Maya crap movie of the millenium. Mark my words. Stay refrained from going even 20 km close by otherwise you will witness blast from your head.
Statutory warning:
Stay away from this Maya crap of the millenium and also don’t forget to wear oxygen mask even if you pass near by to the theater which runs this Maya crap. Otherwise possibility of going to coma is also possible and highly likely. Also keep all the little kids way far away from this Maya torture of the millenium.
@Bakwas (BK) fan 2:37 pm: One of the shittiest piece of CRAP I have ever read on Indicine. You loon, try something new ..!
@Chuhe my loyal JACK 2:44 pm : Shameless liar caught red handed again. Should I produce that comment where you claimed that FAN won’t cross 100 cr? And when I said that can you bet on this, you shamelessly backed off. So tell me you moron, why you make such bogus claims when you yourself are not sure about the same?
And now you came up with a theory that your bhabhijan is promoting FAN, so it will cross 100 cr. So my question is, do you feel the same about BB as BB poster was first unveiled by SRK. So ideally, we have a strong point to claim that even BB was successful just because of SRK.
The thing is , you a certified retard and there is nothing which you can do, except spouting utter rubbish.
Coming to your next remark, entire life you kept on talking about SRK’s last non-holiday release (MNIK) which was released way back in 2010 and you idiots kept on comparing that with 2014 release Flop Ho.
Though in that comparison too, MNIK was ahead with a whooping 200 cr worldwide collections.
But now why I am breaching that discussion again is, because I just want you idiots to taste your own medicine . Post April, I , too, will make comparison of a 2016 non-holiday release with a 2014 non-holiday release and trust me, if I will do so, you won’t have any place to hide your ugly face.
So just count your days till then.
@2:58 pm : Not sure about SRK, but for your greedy non-actor, Big Boss is a source of major income, so better think about that. SRK is not doing this shitty show, still he is the second richest actor in the world. But think about the impacts on non-actor, once BB gets closed.
And its your non-actor who came begging SRK to visit the Big Boss house. If SRK was a flop actor, then you should have asked your bhabhijan not to go and plead SRK. Lol.
@The Phenom 4:03 pm : Hahaha, you nailed it :D
Srk Was calling it niche? It is an out nd out commercial trailer..below 25 Crore opening will be a failure as srk is biggest star of India Accroding to some Media .
Also the movie is a copied idea from an Hollywood flick THE FAN .
@Riju basu
Yeah true
@Jabra the original
So which movie did Leonardo played a villain?
Catch me if u can… He played a good school boy go naughty after parents divorce… He did not start as a villain.
Wolf of wall Street
Nop.. Played an honest worker at 1st. U can’t compare them with Daar Ajnabee.
Really? Salman Aamir must play villain to qualify for what??? they have given very good account of themselves already so they have nothing to prove!
@JABAR THE ORIGNAL. You dumb ss Salman chooses if he gets good script why not. Salman can do any role you moron.
He rejected Company. I am guaranteed you if he did Company he will have done a much better role than Malik bhai. He is more smarter than Ajay I think he was preparing for MSK that’s why he rejected Company. Let good villain script comes his way he will do it without any difficulties.
#Temperature
If FAN is really an exceptional movie, then the makers would have released it in EDX! They are trying to con people. Dt fall in this trap by wasting your money in cinema halls. Wait for reviews from all around the country first and then decide to watch it.
One JABRA Song is bigger than Salman work. One FAN Trailer is bigger than Aamir acting. One FAN Film will be bigger than entire Bollywood
Copied From The Fan(1996)
hw rubbish! Datz totally a Childish trailer Nothing new in it ..It just sarook’s tactic to show hw he had Fake n Lukkhhaaa fans :]
@Chuhe my loyal JACK 04:44 pm : OMG, this Chuha is a gone case now. I had a doubt on his tiny brain before, but now that doubt has been confirmed. So this chuha wants us to compare a Eid flick with a non-holiday release (which will be releasing in a dull period of IPL).
Wow chuhe, I just salute your intellect. Throughout your life, you compared a 2010 released movie with 2014 released movie and when we came on our own, you started shivering.
Tell me a single reason chuhe, why on this earth should I compare a normal release (with almost no advantage) to an Eid release? Just because a retard like you demanded that?
@Rew1 06:12 pm : Not sure about others but you seem to be reached a mental asylum now itself. At least your words are indicating the same.
Take care, that’s all I can say. Because April 15 is still very far
@temperature
You must be a real dummy!!! That’s what I can only say. I don’t know if Salman would have done a better role than Malik bhai but that’s a character even the die hard haters of Ajay would tell you, that character was just made for Ajay. You don’t know anything about acting! Ajay character from his eye expression, less talking, gallant personality, close to perfect timing in every scene was pure class harmonizing with the background track theme. I wonder where you get yr facts!!
I have not seen Salman playing mafia role so 4 now I disagree he would have done a much better acting than Ajay between when did Salman reject Company???? Have great respect for Salman just as for Srk so pls be cautious on what to say. Thank you.
@xzone 7:27
U just said everything.I don’t know how we can help this chuhe creature.For the sake of humanity I would love this guy to get well soon.
#jabra fan
Some morons are commenting here
That FAN is a copy of THE FAN(1996)
Pls also tell me how u all know the story of FAN without seeing the movie????
And I think you all know that OUR Bhaijaan copies from south
Bodygaurd
Jai ho
Ready
Dabbang
Even the scene and story and plot everything in these movies are ditto copy of the original South indian movies
Crazyy Srkians
This is the power of our KING that every people expectss ttttoooo ttttooo ttttooo much from Him….cause they know….only SRK can do any different thing….
There is nuthing to expect from Bhaijaan cause all know he can give only baseless craps…except BB…
Tnx @ Riju Bisu.If I had an srkian giving me advice like you perhaps I would have not gone to the wrong path.
@xzone
Plz take me back as srkian. I am sorry 4 my past but I want to lead a good lyf in srk’s kingdom
Karan johar said it all. Yes it is indeed the best trailer of this decade. I thnik movie will be better than the trailer. Bt we hv to wait.
Jab bhaijaan masala entertainer kar rahe the tab Salmaniacs were only talking about Collection and not about quaulity and content
And whem SRK crushed all records by his first masala movie chennai express they started barking about content and qaulity
Dear Salmaniacs…..SRK naam hi us insaan ke hai jo har tareeke se Logo ko unki aukaat dikha deta hai
Sooo who should i —- on Akki fans or SRK fans.. Hmm i think i will do on akki fans since i liked the trailer. So now SRK will prove that Khans doesn’t need any major holiday too collected more than Akki films. After this collects more than akkis airlift they should shut up about the holiday thing. Oh wait they are not gonna do that since they aren’t akkians they are makkhians!
