The writing is on the wall for Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN, as the superstar, who has never delivered a outright flop after Paheli in 2005 – is facing his first rejection in more than a decade.
When a film featuring a top superstar like SRK releases, it comes with a minimum guarantee. In today’s times, the very least you can expect is a 100 crore grosser, but FAN will fall well short of that number and could finish with lifetime domestic business of around 85-90 crore.
The trend is quite similar to Akshay Kumar’s Brothers last year. That film had also collected Rs 52 crore in its first weekend, but held on a little more strongly on Monday with collections of Rs 6.23 crore. Brothers finished with lifetime business of Rs 82 crore.
The reason for the poor performance of the film is hard to comprehend right now, because FAN has been universally rejected. Even Shah Rukh’s West Bengal stronghold has loosened because the film has dropped even at his best circuit – where Dilwale was outstanding for nearly two weeks.
The box office rejection of the film is even more shocking when you consider the fact that FAN is one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year after Neerja and Airlift. Positive reviews from critics has not convinced the audience to go watch the film in theatre.
Like we reported yesterday, the 2nd week collections of ‘The Jungle Book’ are now on par with the first week collections of FAN and some exhibitors have increased the shows of the Hollywood film.
The silver lining for Shah Rukh Khan and FAN is the kind of opening the film took last Friday. The fan-base that he has earned over the years through his films, talent and hard work, will always be with him. But it’s the ‘trust factor’ with the neutral audience that has taken a beating in the last couple of years, and it’s that trust that he needs to earn back.
The actor now needs a good film that will find universal acceptance. A film that not only opens well, but has a long and successful word-of-mouth run. And he needs it as quickly as his next release – Raees.

POOR SRK & HER FANS
Duniya ka…… LOL
from, die hard fan of SALMAN in Sri Lanka
festival hai to sharukh he
festival nahi to sharukh kuch bhi nahi
fan is brilliant movie i am akshay kumar fan
but truth is audience kisi ke baap ki ni he
salman ki sulatn sirf utube pe hi acchi lag ri he
koi paise deke pehelwani kyun dekhega
dangal bhi pehalwani pe hai ghanta ni chalegi
2no movie
eid xmas firat weekend bacha sakta he life time
sultan collection under 150 cror
dangal collection 150 cror
mohan jodaro 120
housefull3 full chances 140 if content in movie
Fan mein dikhaya tha SRK ka stardom khatam ho raha tha or real life mein wohi ho raha hai !!
Fan ka budget agar 70 crore hota to atcha hota !! 100 crore is like khud ke per paar hatora marna!!
I like every actors except srk because of his fans..Now I respect Akshay as much as I like Salman..And acting wise amir,ajay,akshay,hr are way better than srk..May be Salman is non actor for some morons but he never does overacting..Admit it,Salman’s screen presence is unbeatable
@fasal:bcoz of guys like u srk is trolled badly..ab jake lungi pehenke chup ja aur apna muh bhi chupale usi lungi me..duniya ka sabse chota star ka chota mota fan
Let this be a lesson not to throw out or degrade anyone or anything. SRK fans failed to grasp the message that Jai Ho and BB was trying to get across. A message that is needed in our world today. @xzone called me a bimbo because I bashed SRK but I knew the writing was on the wall. You see it’s time to grasp and hold on to the fact of helping other. Love is the key but when you used others for your own gain you will eventually fail. It’s been and will continue to be a hard lesson for SRK and his fans if they don’t stop trying to pull Salman and others down.
God whether you want to believe it or not has put plans in place. Many people do things for recognition but in all the years of knowing the Khan family they are caring, loving people, not perfect no one is and Salman operates from the heart. For years no one stood by him but God did. His heart is in the right place. SRK did not do right even with Fan he said if he did not win an award he would snatch one. Such remarks are a sure sign of failure if you exalt yourself you will be brought down. Pride is a great sin.
Lesson to learn is that comparisons to people or things will not work. Bribes, etc will not work. Judge not less you be judged. Every person is unique in their own way and everything must be taken on its own merits.
The harder they come the harder they fall. Better luck next time. And indicine your lesson is not to be partial your job is always to show impartiality to each with in an honest manner not being prejudicial one against another that is the ingredients for a successful business and life in general.
@Romance First of all did you watch FAN in theatres??
@Arjun But Tamasha was average/flop and BV all time disaster
Bhai fans named Salman bhai as “Baap Of Bollywood”. Probably this is the only way they could console Bhai’s grief of still being a virgin.
Hahaha…even hrithik & akki fans are trolling global king now.
Behti Ganga mein sab hath dho rahe hain!!!
Its k srk fans,….tk a chill pill…d film has flopped but srk is still here and shooting for mvz to release in future…so thoda dukh hoga…so mourn fan ..but dnt b ds much disheartened…a good mvie by him and i m sure numbers wl surpass expectations…. And dnt b so sombre

Challa bhai,don’t worry.u r one of the most sensible srkians.plz don’t get into muddy waters.let haters bark.they rejoice more at someone’s failure Dan their own star’s success.n one sincere request to my fellow srkians,plz don’t blabber nonsense lyk raees 500 cr n all.dis is not done simply.Srk will come out stronger,becoz picture abhi baaki hai mere dost
@Challa
What? justust managed???
Drishyam was the 4th language remake. Story was not new. Sandwiched inbetween
Bahubali Bajrangi bhaijan mi5. Yet it emerged as a Semi hit. It was an offbeat family thriller not a commercial action espionage thriller like. …. (I will stay mum) Every fan no matter how he hates Ajay praised his performance. You are from the south I guess? You know what it takes for Anybody to step into the shoes of a Mohanlal or Kamal Hassan.
Don’t forget after some days of release he came out thanking everybody for their responses taking its collection into.consideration not to talk about Revising the actual trade figure publicly. Pls don’t say things you are not sure of,I will be always proud of masterclass Drishyam!!!
Srk fans blame Jungle Book for the debacle of FAN, according to them FAN collection is low because there is a clash with Jungle Book (which release 1 week before FAN just like Baahubali release 1 week before Bajrangi Bhaijaan).
Ok we agree with your point so it means that Srk lost another clash and this time he lost against a 10 year old kid…I hope Srk fans agree with me and they won’t take a U turn again..
@xzone (yes u read it correctly bcz u people badly need sympathy)
2:22PM:
We Bhai fans have never shown any kind mercy to those people. But sometimes you SRK fans join your hand with them against us.
Inko bhav dene ka ab SAJA Bhukton!!!
@ xzone- but i feel srk will do hattric with raees, fan and dilwale.
# faslo Keralaya SISTER go to hell
# fasali go to hell
Test less Indians go and watch Chaddi Pahalwan
Raees will cross 400cr and crushed Chaddi Pahalwan
@indicine why do u say ki salman worst phase and sr never gave flop after 2005. sallu ka heroes hello main aur mrs khanna ko add karo but billu barbar dulha mil gaya ko kabhi add mat karna. ra.one flop nahi hai because of ye rights wo rights and just see ur own prediction of ra.one where u said anything 175-200 would be flop and ur top 10 movies me ra.one don 2 no1 and 2 pe the similarly, 2012 me jab tak hai jaan no,1 anticipated thi why this bias????? please!!!!!!!
salman ka role- hello 1 gaana aur 5 min heroes 1 gaana 5 min main…-3 gaana 20 min
now kingu- billu barbar puri film and saare gaane still film to irfan ki thi,,,,,haan hit ho jaati to shah rukh ki thi
dulha mil gaya-post interval puri film me-still guest appearance
god save this site which is a pr machinary for shah rukh
My humble request to all SRK fans (especially those who promised to leave Indicine if fan failed to touch 100cr) please don’t leave #indicine. If you people leave #Indicine then hamarein (Bhai fans) pass bhi koi maksad nahin bachega #indicine pe rehne ke liye!!!
Cant comment about the film as I havent watched it yet, but trust me if the film is really good it is the audience which gets mocked and ridiculed by their next generation.
If Fan is really good, 20 years down the line, today’s audience.might get trolled for not watching it in theatre like we see people tro?ling 90s audience for Andaaz Apna Apna and 2000s audience for Swades.
Haar kar jeetne wale ko hi to SHAH RUKH KEHTE HAI
Paheli flop huwi uske baad 13 back 2 back Hit/Superhit/blockbuster di
insolvent SRK..
Joi ho ticket price was less than half of fan
even salaam e ishq me salman ka role srk ka dulha mil gaya se kam tha but no wo salman ki picture hai kyonki wo flop hai no entry hit hai to wo anil kapoor ki picture hai……..kyun indicine ye bhi ek article me likha tha….yaad hai naa……kahin hero ko salman ki film na count kar lena 1 gaana gaya tha
