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?

Check out the full list of highest opening day collections of Bollywood films.

  • Big question is can it surpass the 100cr mark as we all know haklu’s track record on non-holiday ??

  • I have three conditions if these all get fulfilled
    Then Fan can beat Chennai express !!!
    1. Fan should get a wide release 4200+ screens ….!!!
    2. This time no protest !!!
    3. The content should be very strong.
    If these all conditions become reality then we all will cherish during April this year !!!

  • I think it will beat first day collections.

    Regarding total collections I hope it does but only after watching the watch one can make a prediction. Earning 190 cr is quite a task and requires great trending. YJHD had great music and a favorable genre on its side. Beating YJHD total collections looks tough but if the movie clicks with the audience then anything is possible.

  • @indicine what is the upcoming project of Imtiaz Ali ? really become a fan of him after watching Tamasha.

  • Except FAN has no chart buster music like YJHD(no songs in FAN) and FAN has limited appeal so may be it is difficult to beat YJHD

  • No it wont, SRK is not a big crowdpuller anymore, HNY had a lot of factors in its favour, genre, starcast and Diwali day. SRK cannot give a big opening on his own.

  • If it beats dabangg 2 lifetime I won’t watch Sultan.take screenshot,it’ll be at best hit.

  • Never

    Srk’s EDX releases never crossed 227 Cr then how can Fan earn even 150 Cr Without EDX holidays

    Fan :: less than 100 Cr with all positive points

  • definitely it will beat yjhd and it will become first non holiday 200 cr grosser……
    one thing ia good noone expecting big no for this movie like dilwale….its really important for wom…..if indicine or other’s predict 30 cr and it opens at 25 it will be very disappointed but if all are predicted 20cr n if it open above 25 it will e earth shattering for everyone. ….
    for me boxoffice doesn’t matter…..I feel srk made movie specially for we fans…..
    hail king srk ….

  • FAN will overpass Dilwale’s first day and it will be the 1st non holiday film to cross 200 cr. Only King Khan can do it, without holidays, Salman can’t do better than Jai Ho !

  • 1st Day will be surely between 20-25 cr.
    Haters take a screenshot & come back to me on 16th April.
    #Kaali

  • Bang Bang ! with clash earn 27.54 cr 1st day and 181 Cr lifetime

    POWER OF HRITHIK’S STARDOM

    SUPER WOW

  • 20+ oppening is possible
    As HJHD was 3years back record..
    150 will be the life time..
    As the gener looks not promising as a SRK films.
    No love story..
    No music..
    Non festival release.
    Not a established director.

  • Fan looks ordinary film… Yjhd was created huge buzz… So don’t expect too much from this film… Movie will not even cross airlift collection… And offcourse he is heading towards end of his career…

  • box office and collections are growing every year. so if it does not beat the collection of a movie which opened 3 years ago it will be embarrassing.
    srk’s fan will have an opening between 22-25cr and it will beat the lifetime collections of YJHD even if the film received mix reviews
