FAN was the major release this weekend and the biggest release of year so far. Trade expectations weren’t too high this time around for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer, because FAN was a niche songless thriller. The film was expected to do business in the range of Rs 140 – 150 crore.
FAN opened well at the box office on Friday and critics too gave the film a thumbs up, calling it one of SRK’s best films in a long time. But exhibitors (theatre owners) had a different story to tell. At single-screens, the film took a start but couldn’t sustain. At multiplexes, it was expected to show phenomenal growth on Saturday, that did not happen either. Sunday too, the big jump hasn’t come.
The end result is, the film has found appreciation only with die-hard fans of the superstar. The neutral audience has instead opted to watch ‘The Jungle Book’, which is now matching the collections of FAN at quite a few multiplexes on Sunday.
Coming to the main point of the article, we expect FAN to collect somewhere around Rs 95 crore at the box office. Like Dilwale last year, FAN is a difficult prediction to make too, because the film could still sustain well on Monday and go on to be a decent grosser. But the trend over the weekend doesn’t seem to suggest the film will cross the 100 crore mark. If we don’t get it right, it’ll only be our second incorrect prediction of the year after Fitoor.

@fasal kelawala, Blue and TMK are Bumper opening because of Only Akki. Get the right fact….!

95 cr (expected).
That mean SRK’S stardom nd performance decreasing year by year & after 24 years he is not able to give movie of 100 cr. If fan collect 95 cr in its lifetime then it will be flop despite the experience of 24 years.
okay its 95 cr. now…..cmon indicine its SRK,100 cr. is for sure. lifetime is surely above 120 cr
JJust finish watching Fan in Amsterdam. For god sake what people meant by bad film but good performance? ! SRK for one shows a lot of desperation in his performance. .It is simple the frame of Darr. Bazigaar plus a Spice of Om shanti Om put together. There is nothing New in the performance. He is repeating himself like ddlj dtph kkhh cry for someone else woman and endup with heroïne. Now he is trying to repeat his Anti hero acting. With added makeup and fake teeth it is all the SSame. The chase scenes are rip off from Darr and red writing on a mirror all d same like Darr
LOL..way Indicine changed their prediction gave me a big laughter..Aise to koi bhi predict karne lagega…
#SuperLOL
Airlift with all types of competions. No big banner no big director no big heroïne no music and a hero that releases a movie every three months. Wow! !! Still That’s real star power not actors that can only release on holidays.
Srkians gone mad …..lol
I pray to god give them more strnth to.accept the reality
@fasal matar blue was a bad film and also it faced a three way clash at box office in 2009 still it did 40cr at that time otherwise it would have collected 60-65cr if it was a solo release…
For TMK it received a bumper opening 2nd best at that time … But unfortunately it was and it is still one of the worst recieved Xmas releases ….
So before posting anything get ur facts right..
@MYANMAR YANGON

@Tiger
I know you hate me, and I hate you, but got to give you some credit for awesome trolls. Made me go ROFL. :D
fan will crash on monday onward ….i predict …..monday 6cr lf 80 100 cr …..you can see as multiplex cant help on weekdays even only in major cities…..fan will b disaster as srk hasnt included his fees…105 budget …..52ds ……overseas will b hit …..dilwale had 105 budget excluding srk fees…140+ semihit even considring overseas 170cr….then fan will b disaster at below 100cr and overseas at max 12m ie 70cr …..the film will b in loss even after ds of ind +overseas 50ind and 30os===25cr huge loss…….and other rights cannot b considrd as film can only b judged by box office collection if you include then akki dont have any flop after 2009
@Hrithik
Yeah completely agree with you!
Srk choices of recent and some of his fans.
@Fasal
Yeah Drishyam scored not much cos it was having lots of factors against it but we Ajay fans never went into details except once or twice I replied my regular anti Ajay users. But not withstanding.. It was clustered inbetween Bahubali and Bb… It was a remake 3rd or 4th so actually nothing new. Though Ajay acting was flawless even haters testified it. For me that was what I needed after AJ. Now he left Drishyam with a mark and Shivaay has every chance to gross huge. It’s better we don’t go into details.
Rohit will remain Ajays boy that’s it. Rohits limelight is because he was wise to use someone who had massive impact with the population. Not a glamorous superstar but indeed a professional superstar.
@Fasal
Pls let’s not go into details S26 and baby deserved more than what they got. Akki was beautiful in both movies. I can’t even call them above average personally rather semi hit- hit.
Yaar I love Srk but when we see somethings that does not match up with his past we are known for we express our feelings. That does not mean one is jealous or envy him.
Life time prediction is only 95cr?
OMG SRK is over for sure and the next who will follow him is MR bikini sallu.
And the young talented actors like hrithik, ranveer, ranbir etc…. will finally have space.
Though I hate srk becauase of his cheap fans, but can not deny his contribution and making big from a common men. Yes, his cheap, retarded fans like @kelawala,@sss, @Meera and other retards make me curse srk’s films to flop badly, but when his films flop in reality, i kind of feel bad fpr him as well, but nevertheless I hope he makes strong comeback with Raees and Dwarf film.
@9:38pm
So aNIPUNma has stolen my Tom
n Jerry analogy/ comparison… That kid is still plagiarising I see
@10:44pm
Hrithik
Lol
SpamZone has gone on strike after Tihari prison officials refused his request for day release so that he n his gang of hooligans can watch Pankha…!
@10:50pm Anand
Agree with you- they declared Talaasha semi hiteven though it was a niche thriller film even though it made profits for its producers. I think Pankha will be declared superhit if it collects 80cr which looks tough now
If a movie called FAN isnt for universal audiences then title should have instead been ‘Niche Fan’ instead…!
Pankha has proved beyond any doubt that King no longer is a top 3 star in Btown- imo hes not even top 10.
@9:46pm Faulty Pankha for sale at 500rs
Yes Fan had no munni nor kamli but it had not 1 but 2 supposedly Oscar winning performances by queen so the Q arises why still wont billions of CLASS (less) fans of King not come n watch his crapfest…?
With partial holiday n Super Strong Rich Content Pankha wont be able to huff n puff its way into the 100cr club…!
Power of Global King affected by the changing direction of the wind
Never seen so many excuses n uTurns by fans n media friends of King since when not since last Xmas release Baghban 2…!
Indicine are trying to say that when billions of your own fanbase refuse to watch your crapgiri then your film is a NICHE film… Hhhmmm I wonder if niche is the new word/ slang term/ expression for FLOP…?
The latestl (amest) excuse for the failings of Pankha is that it was infact not a Content Rich film but a Niche film…!
@Indicine seriously you are ou of your mind to predict 270 cr for dangal. It will cross 350 cr minimum as all aamir movies on christmas has created history and opened each and evry new milestone. I wont be surprised if it becomes first film to cross 400 cr. So please stop predicting baseless. If u cant predict 400 cr then at least predict accurately and 270 cr doesnt make sense as its too lower prediction for a Megastar’s film which is most awaited for 2 years.
admit it this fasal Kerala guy is too much annoying.. typical srk pankha who is scared from inside
Since when Makki fans have mouth?
Veer zara vs Aitraaz.. Akki loss Srk won
Don vs Janeman… Akki loss Srk won
Atb vs Blue…. Akki loss. Ajay won
Golmaal 3 vs Action.R.. Akki loss Ajay won
Ce vs ouatimd… Akki loss Srk won
Stay within limits beta
And they said this movie got a standing ovation from the censor board. ROFL! all SRK fans created dreamworld stories.
the reason for so much hate towards srk is his and his fans narcissist attitude,self obsession and thrashing each and every other star all the time.Grow up guys , don’t you remember karma is a Bit*h.
