These predictions are real hard to get right, simply because box office is very unpredictably and a lot depends on the merits of a film. But a film like My Name Is Khan, irrespective of how it turns out to be, is likely to open to huge numbers. The first weekend will no doubt be record breaking, both overseas and India.
Here is our prediction for the year’s most awaited release – My Name Is Khan directed by Karan Johar starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol!
- Opening weekend – 30 crores minimum, could even be as high as 38 – 40 crores including paid previews.
- Week 1 (if loved): 60 crores plus, could easily beat Ghajini.
- Week 1 (if mixed): 55 – 60 crores
- Week 1 (if disliked): 50 – 53 crores
- Lifetime (if loved): 110 – 120 crores. The repeat value is unlikely to be as high as 3 Idiots.
- Lifetime (if mixed): 100 – 110 crores.
- Lifetime (if disliked): 75 – 80 crores
Overseas, the film is likely to beat the record of 3 Idiots even if the reactions are mixed, mainly due to the wide release and the SRK – Karan – Kajol fan-following. $20 million plus is a possibility if the film is loved.
Indian box office numbers will be more interesting though, here are some reasons why
- Aamir Khan currently holds the record for two of the biggest money spinners ever – Ghajini and 3 Idiots. While MNIK is not expected to break the records set by 3 Idiots, it will be interesting to see if the film can beat the 15 month old Ghajini in India.
- Can MNIK beat the opening weekend record of 3 Idiots?
- Can MNIK beat the opening week record of Ghajini or even 3 Idiots?

Hina: yeah.. I agree that there was more than one movie about terrorism and what happened post 9/11.. but didn’t u notice – if u did watch all these movies – that each one of them had different story?!
New York: it was about the victims post 9/11.. and the consequences after keeping 1200 innocent ppl in jail, torture them.. and what happens after that.. how those ppl who suffered and they were just innocent, and no one believed them, reacted after the torture.. they received punishment for the crime which they didn’t commit.. so some of them became real terrorists after that and they weren’t in the past (John Abrahm) in order to revenge..a beautiful story with a beautiful message for American ppl and for all the governments who accuse some innocent ppl, keep them in jail, torture them with no evidence.. that was the movie New York’s subject.
Kurban: it was about a girl who fell in love with a terrorist, married a guy who was wearing a mask! who deceived her and she didn’t know! she finds out everything after marriage.. it was a bit different.
Khuda ki Liye: I saw it twice.. but it wasn’t about terrorism.. that was not the main story..it was about the mis-conception by some muslims about Islam.. wrong practice by them, religious ppl’s influence on the youth and how they mis-lead them, about the music in Islam and how some ppl look at it and think that music is forbidden and it’s not ( Naseeruddin Shah did a good job and played a very important role in the movie) that’s a completely different issue.. yes.. in the 2nd half, the eldest brother suffered and was accused in New York that he’s a terrorist, but that was only a part of the story, and the main story wasn’t about terrorism but about the conception of Islam
My Name is Khan: I think terrorism is also a part of the story, as Shahrukh said that it’s a commercial movie and a love story, about a guy who’s ill, got a family, innocent and was one of those victims post 9/11.
Hina: just watch it and enjoy.. don’t think that it’s a repeated story because it’s not.. you’ll find everything just different in this one too.
hi every one!I am a huuuuuuuge fan of aamir khan but i like sharukh too. mnik will be a super blockbuster surely. good times are ahead for sharukh fans

WKend’s r fully booked..
Let’s see how it goes..
lolz..;) Bristi u joined indicine team? welcomin me he he
Yup srk s really promotin it well, he has managed to create a strong buzz among d audience.
But seriously speakin, his performance is not being appreciated much, wen asked bout his performance , ppl said its confusin- whether he s normal or a retard, seems like he has not gone in depth into Asperger syndrome..;)
Lets c, one more day to go n v `ll know. But box office verdict no doubt- HIT, Overseas Superhit..;)
Amish I said welcome on behalf of Indicine..
U used to be very famous here..
And I think MNIK ‘ll go beyond the hit status..
ZOOM is saying Salman is the lucky mascot for SRK ..Salman supported SRK so it ‘ll go well..
Before Salman supported Amir.Imran..their film did excellent at box office..
Amish..SRK is playing an austatic ,,,no?
There r very gd movies..so many actors played this type of role before..
But I liked Dustin HOffman for his performance at Rain man…
Even..if u watch holly movie..SILENT FALL..there is an austatic charecter..a little..boy who is the only witnessof a murder..actually austatic peoples may be very itelligent..bt they have some problem…may be they can’t talk ,walk..so so..
.Amish n Hina..can better say..as both of u r connected to that field..(Hina’s papa is a doc..)
Sorry..it’s astatic..misstyped..
Shahrukh gonna come to Abudhabi (UAE) today for the first world premiere of My name is Khan!. Here all shows got booked!!!. Fan crazy is so much here for Shahrukh khan…..
Oh my god, this movie will break 3 idiots records for sure….and will even get Shahrukh an oscar for his superb performance!!
in Sydney 1st show is 2:15 pm Thursday.
i am going and my review will be up at 1 pm IST
looks great movie but …….. every movie looks good in promos even radio and dil bole haddipa as well.
MNIK films advance booking is banned in Maharashtra by Shivsena .
Dipen: why terrorism movies are all flop? Is the audience “coward” I noticed also some thriller movies fail at the box office in India..then the fauilt is with the audience and not with those movies!! Fiza, Mission Kashmir, Kurban, all were good…I didn’t see Roja, also Dil Se which was the best of all did an average business!! New York won because it was a commercial movie and probably because of Katrina and Neil in the cast.. so is MNIK..a commercial movie.
Also Black & White which was a good movie flopped.. then the producers should stop making such movies.. let them just give the audience what he wants..some pure commercial funny movies!!
Oh.. forgot about Kabul Express.. Kabul express should be considered as a comedy movie..the audience didn’t wach it as he thought it’s a terrorism movie.. but it was sooo funny.. if u ppl didn’t watch it.. watch it.. it’s a good movie.. Arshad Warsi was funny in the movie.
@all sallu fans
please don’t paste the faltu and mindless comment here we don’t have anything to do with this thread if you want to give your reveiw you can but before that don’t say mindless comment we are sallu bhai fans and bhai is in support of this movie let this movie be hit or flop we don’t care if bhai is in support of the movie why we are opposing if we can’t support so please don’t oppose as they did at the time of veer IT’S A REQUEST PLEASE ALL SALLU FAN DON’T DO THAT

Mumbai theatres attacked; warned not to screen MNIK
However, the party workers yesterday attacked three theatres in Mumbai (Shreyas Theatre-Ghatkopar, Mehul Talkies-Mulund, and Metro Big Cinemas-Dhobi Talao), that will be screening the Karan Johar directed MNIK.
Bollywood Hungama has also got the oven-fresh news that Cinemax Cinemas have stopped advance bookings for the film, directed by Karan Johar which releases on Friday.
Leaves of all Mumbai policemen have been cancelled in order to ensure the smooth proceedings of the shows. The security cover at the single screen theatres as well as the multiplexes have been more than doubled, while MNIK’s lead star Shah Rukh Khan’s security has been increased.
Even though there was stone pelting at the said theatres, the situation in Metro Big Cinemas was reported to be the worst as party workers went onto vandalize and tear one of the screens. An official with Metro Cinema, requesting anonymity, told Bollywood Hungama, “The ‘modus operandi’ adopted by the party workers was really something. They entered the theatre on the pretext of watching a film. Within a few minutes, there was some stone-throwing outside the theatre. When we went to control that, the workers in the theatre started their act of tearing the screen apart. The damages are too huge to be even spoken about.”
Yes Nauman ur correct
ppl should not go to watch MNIK in multiplex bcoz of vandalizm from party of shiva sena
its better to watch in home (family pack with coke and pizza )
movie is flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop flop
huhuhuhuhuhuhu
kikikikikiki
hahahahahahahah
Mn u didnt mention that Pizza should be Non veg or vegetarian ???
Shiv Sena goons on rampage in Mumbai, film theatres close booking of SRK movie
Mumbai, February 10: Movie theaters in Mumbai have closed down advance bookings for Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming flick ‘My Name is Khan’, fearing attacks by Shiv Sena activists before and during the screening of the movie, which releases on Friday (February 12).
Shiv Sena activists had on Tuesday attacked several cinema halls that were supposed to screen Shahrukh Khan’s flick.
Over 350 Shiv Sena activists have been arrested for demonstrating and damaging cinema screens.
Sena workers managed to enter the halls and damage screens of the Metro theater in south Mumbai and the Huma Cinema at Kanjurmarg using sharp instruments.
Activists pelted stones and broke the glasses of Mehul cinema in suburban Mulund. They also tore down posters of the movie outside Fame cinema in Pantnagar and R-City Mall at Ghatkopar.
