11:45PM Night Update: FAN has collected around 17 crore on Saturday. The official collections will be published tomorrow morning.
7:30PM Evening Update: FAN has picked up at multiplexes in the evening on Saturday. Since the film is not performing at smaller centres and single-screens, it needed a big jump at multiplexes, which hasn’t come as of 6PM in the evening. Unless business escalates quite significantly in the night, the film is looking at a drop of around 5-10% on Saturday, which would mean Day 2 total of around 17 crore net.
There were two IPL matches today, one at 4PM and the other at 8PM. It remains to be seen what sort of impact it has had and will have on business today.
Morning Update: Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN has taken a slower start on Saturday morning as compared to the occupancy for the morning shows on Friday. This is normal for a film featuring SRK in the lead, because a lot of people watch his films ‘first day first show’ on the day of release.
The average occupancy at multiplexes on Saturday morning is about 15-20% lower than Friday (which was a partial holiday for Ram Navami). The evening / night shows on Saturday will be crucial, because it’s for these shows that multiplex business peaks.
For FAN, multiplex business at cities has become even more important because mass centres and single-screens are not performing due to lack of appeal (no songs, no leading lady etc). The reports from smaller centres aren’t very positive either. So the fate of the film is dependent on a good hold on Saturday and big growth on Sunday.
FAN will also be competing with the ‘The Jungle Book’ which is on a phenomenal record-breaking run at the Indian box office. The film has already collected Rs 83 crore in 8 days and should cross the 100 crore mark by the end of its second weekend. ‘The Jungle Book’ is also likely to become the highest grosser of the year, ahead of an acclaimed multiplex film like ‘Airlift’ which did business of Rs 128 crore net.
Film was always gonna crash as noone with half a brain was interested in watching SRK playing cat n mouse games with his own shadow…!

1:09pm:
Before its release you loongiwalas continuously blabbered that it is content rich movie, srk has returned his old avatar and blah blah blah. And now giving excuses like niche movie, no song, less screens and blah blah blah…. Hahaha.
No supporting cast!!! really??? That’s mean SRK does the all characters (even his wife, son etc) in the movie… Lol.
1:13pm:
it’s you loongiwalas who has been continuously chanting that billu 2 is a content rich, classic and blah blah blah. Being a content rich, classic how could it has moronic illogical scenes???
And we Bhai fans never called Bhai movies classics, content rich and blah blah. We believe movies are for entertainment not for education. Hence we are happy with Bhai movies illogical scenes..!!!
1:18pm:
Hahaha…. So you have already planned to go Hibernation mode after billu 2 debacle, just like you did after jthj debacle!!! Best of luck in advance!!!
Its thanks to the holiday factor ydy that this maha crap nonsensical movie earned even double digits as it only deserved 8 or 9cr opening…!
@kaali
bro bookmyshow never have the whole multiplexes tickets,they have only seats so if book my show shows 100% occupancy doesn’t mean a film is running on 100 % …
#FAN lifetime domestic 122 cr
My honest review of FAN :
I promise Srk fans that I won’t be biased even though I am a Salman fan while writing this review.
A Srk movie targeted mainly to his fans and followers. Made by Bollywood’s top production house and directed by not A list director who has average reputation. This movie contains no known faces except SRK and no songs to pull mass audience, does FAN delivers what it promises ?
Gaurav Chandana, a Delhi youth who is a hard core fan of Aryaan Khanna, he will go to any extent to express his love for his idol. He thinks the idol will reciprocate the same attention when he will come to know about it. After winning a local contest he starts his journey to meet the superstar and even travels and stays in the same lodge and same room as his idol did during his struggling journey to become Bollywood actor. After a failed attempt to personally meet & greet his idol on his birthday he devises a plan to get attention of the Superstar and ends up threatening and beating Aryaan Khanna’s idol Sid Kapoor (was it a Ranbir Kapoor parody) ? Being a Superstar Aryaan Khanna disowns his Fan for his crime which turns the world of Gaurav upside down. Now he is obsessed and seek an apology from his idol for disrespecting his feelings. That sums up the rest of the plot.
For me, second half is more intriguing than the first half but yes it does have some unrealistic scenes like how a mere Fan managed to get hold of a Superstars itinerary and managed to break into the supporting crew but that’s Bollywood for you. Aryaan Khanna is even shown dancing in an NRI wedding relating to superstars real life. The climax promises to be a lot only to end up in a disappointing tragedy. Audience could relate and feel more for Gaurav than Aryaan hence end of character was not expected in climax. It also shows Superstars mind only about their status and reputation and will not bow down to any one let it be their hard core FANs. It is also an eye opener for the youth of this country who are obsessed with either cricket or Bollywood idols. Go out make your life don’t get too involved with celebrities lives.
FAN belongs to no one but Gaurav, SRk the actor returns after giving some ordinary movies in recent years but still FAN is not his best work at least not a match to Kabir of CDI. But it is much better than his previous outings. Due to its buzz some Srk fans may not agree but this is what I feel. The climax may spoil the repeat value for neutral audience only hard core SRK fans will go for multiple watch. The vfx is not top notch it is good in patches and bad in few scenes specially when the focus is more on Gaurav’s face expressions. Couple of scenes are very good:
1. When Gaurav meets Aryaan for first time in police station and delivers the line Main Aaj Jo kuch bhi hoon apne Fans ki wajah se hoon….. It leaves Aryaan Khanna speechless.
2. The scene where Gaurav breaks into Aryaan Khanna house and smashes his awards in front of Waluscha (Gauri Khan).
Fan is an emotion for Srk fans but it is way behind to touch evey non Srk Fan hence it is purely for Srk fans and strictly a one time watch for neutral fans !!!!!!
Rating : ***
Imo, It deserves only 2.5 stars but half star is for SRK the actor in Gaurav.
@chullu
This is payback for PRDP when your fellow moronic fans attacked our bhais film. If its good enough for you losers to thrash bhais movie without even seeing it then its good enough for us to reiprocate in kind..!

@1:13pm
Lol
Wont you the clown who spammed numerous articles with the same rubbish over n over againhence your new name SpammingZone….?
Lol at how the pots calling the kettle black…!
PS respect your master Tiger more you ungrateful slave…!
Biggest excuse for failure of Billu Fan is that the film wasnt CONTENT RICH which is ironic considering the fact that for 2 yrs it was being overhyped/ over promoted as being sooooo…!
To all SRK fans,
your stars and yours narcissism is getting the better of you. Don’t try to act like innocent babies after getting the taste of reality from other fans. Everyone knows how u react when other stars movies do well. Your karma during the releases of Bajrangi bhaijaan, jay ho,Airlift are getting back at you.
Yours friendly Robinhood
SULTAN.
#Fan records FANTASTIC biz on Fri. Plexes/metros are ROCKING. Fri ? 19.20 cr. India biz. Sat+Sun biz is crucial to put up a STRONG total.
Will be Below avrage or semi hit
I feel pity for srk fans…now they vl like “we want srk to be back with his strong act and box office figures doesn’t matter for them”lolz???
Lol. It is so funny to see Salman fans being so active here at Fan BO update articles even more than the yesterday’s Salman Khans Sultan stills article.
So eager to bring this movie down. Get a life guys !!!!!
@yuvraj the same way he beats his fans.. Haha ja muh dho ke aa..
FAN is a movie which is for a FAN whether of SRK or Salman.. Whether Sachin or Ganguly.. Whethrr MJ or Prabhu Deva. Whether of cricker or Football.. FAN is not meant for Haters
Yeh Janwaai Hai Deewani had a bigger opening day.
At that yesterday Sultan pics article, the maximum likes received were of Yuvraaj comments not exceeding 55. But here on the comments trying to bring down the movie 90 likes plus and even 100 likes on last nights first day BO estimate page.
Just shows these guys’ hate for SRK exceeds their love for Salman. Not signs of a true fan.
Fanrecords biz on Fri. Fri ? 19.20 cr. India biz. Sat Sun biz is crucial to put up a good total. my prediction was 18.50 so i did a good prediction. winner who did 19.65 crore prediction.
