FAN has collected about 10% more than Jai Ho at the domestic box office and the territorial circuit wise breakdown of the two films make for a very interesting comparison. Jai Ho was Salman’s last non-festive release (without the advantage of Eid, Christmas, Diwali) and FAN is Shah Rukh Khan’s first non-festive release since My Name Is Khan in 2010.
While we are not going to get into the release factors of the two films, it’s quite clear from the comparison below that Jai Ho performed very well at mass-centres, while FAN was ahead at multiplexes and centres where niche films do well.
FAN has won 7 circuits, including the big three which include Mumbai, Delhi/UP and East Punjab. It has also done very well in West Bengal and south circuits – Mysore, Andhra, Tamilnadu and Kerala.
Jai Ho due to its genre and Salman’s presence was fantastic in Rajasthan, CI, CP Berar, Assam, Bihar and Orissa.
All factors considered, there is not much to choose between the two on Day 1. The only difference could be the word-of-mouth which comes into effect quicker at places where FAN is doing well – which, if positive, could help the film grow to fantastic numbers during the weekend, or bring down the film if it doesn’t find appreciation.
| Jai Ho | FAN | |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | 5.76 | 5.98 |
| Delhi/UP | 3.25 | 3.71 |
| East Punjab | 1.37 | 1.80 |
| Andhra/Nizam | 1.01 | 1.51 |
| Mysore | 0.82 | 1.33 |
| West Bengal | 0.79 | 1.36 |
| Tamilnadu /Kerala | 0.36 | 0.62 |
| C.P Berar | 1.05 | 0.78 |
| Central India | 0.76 | 0.60 |
| Rajasthan | 1.23 | 0.75 |
| Bihar | 0.53 | 0.41 |
| Others | 0.45 | 0.35 |
| All India Total | 17.38 cr | 19.20 cr |
And what do you think.. How is the WOM of FAN? Please answer indicine
ONLY SRK RULES
FAN IS THE ONE MAN SHOW
SHAH RUKH KHAN
There was so many factors which favoured Jai Ho.
Plus you cannot compare the 2 movies, Jai Ho was been touted as an out & out masala entertainer which was universally accepted in 2014, Bhai fans also claimed that Jai Ho will be Bhai’s grand comeback but Salman Khan did not enough have enough star power to bring audiences to the theatre despite so many factors favouring the movie.
Coming to FAN, the movie is riding solely on SRK & has limited appeal, the mass centre people obviously won’t watch a movie of this genre.
It’s a 1 man show by SRK, & he is gonna be victorious.
#Kaali
Fan is non commercial movie but opening like commercial movie.. power of srk
Fan vs Jai ho
King khan vs non actor
Song less vs huge Songs
No heroine – Herione
No remake – South remake
No masala – masal genre
Off beat movie – Popular gener
not mass Appeal – Mass Appeal
Not Holiday – Republic holiday
IPL effect – Not any affect
After dilwale – After 1 Year gap
Clash with jungle book – Not any clash
Less screens – More screens
but collection
Fan – 19.2 cr
Jai ho – 17 cr
Then decide
Who is baap ? Who is beta ??
Only one king in bollywood… SRK SRK SRK
#Fasal kerala
Jai ho with 0 production value super flop star cast, super flop music, low ticket price, released 2 yrs ago, -ve wom = srk’s most appreciated movie, with yrf, good director, good production values, promos and released on a holiday otherwise it would have collected 16 crs as stated by indicine. This is salman khan for u
Cant compare on collections factor only..
There r few more factors like screen counts, ticket price, Big holiday..
Considering these factors both r head to head.
@indicine, Please post about the overseas collections of FAN. It has taken the overseas market by storm.
It has already collected 17 cr on Friday with a few centres yet to be tracked. It will easily become the highest overseas grosser of the year by the end of the weekend.
#Kaali
FAN had advantage of partial holiday, without it, it would have done 16 cr, lesser than Jai Ho.
Second day will not seeing any increasing (18)
Lol
In south tamil movie theri also released.. But look at the margin by which FAN defeated jai ho in TNK, Mysore,nizam/andhra.. it proves srk is way bigger star than others in south even in his bad phase..
Fan will be a sureshot FLOP.
Second day same as 1st day (18)
Jai ho is commercial while Fan is nich film which only has Srk …
Power of Srk
I sure that FAN will easly beat Lallu highest non holiday jai ho life time collection ( 107 cr ) &
Fan less Aamir highest non holiday Talash life time collection ( 95 cr )…
King khan Always Roxxx
Duniya ka Sabse bada superstar ka sabse bada Fan
#Fasal kerala
Waiting for non-actor fans aka fake bots to come & bark about SRK.
Itna toh inhe Salman ki nahi padhi hoti jitni buraai SRK ki karte hai din raat.
They are more of SRK haters than Bhai’s fans.
#Kaali
Will be watching FAN tomorrow..
Fan won’t cross 100 cr. Ark doesn’t have even half of star power of Salman.
Now we compare Fan with a 2 year old release…Too much fun ! Just to justify the poor opening…19 is abysmally low for Fan…can it even cross 150 is the question now ? Srk has since long not crossed 200…Content driven Fan if it does less than Twmr then it is going to be a big blow to srk…let it cross Airlift first – will it even manage India collections of 130 plus…if it underperforms airlift, srk is gone
Fan ka toh nahi pata Srk ka chain zarur chala gaya
So this is the article to see the aukat of 2 shallow khan’s on non holiday ? with huge number of screens , they both failed to cross 20 cr on day 1 . This is why AMIR KHAN IS THE KING OF BOXOFFICE.
/*
There is not much to chose between two on day 1.
*/
Won’t agree on that.
Flop Ho was oriented to both multiplexes as well as mass centres , whereas FAN is mostly oriented to multiplexes. Also, WOM won’t come into the picture on the opening day itself as most of the tickets will be booked in advance, and audience don’t book those tickets keeping the reviews into mind.
So it’s quite simple. Considering the genre of both the movies and other favourable factors, FAN has an edge over Flop Ho.
@Genius FAN has got positive reviews ,that should be enough for u guys to expect easily 200 crs. Even WOM is mixed to positive.
What about footfalls?
a comparison between srk’s strongest movie since 2010 ( FAN ) and salman khan’s weakest movie since 2010 ( Jai Ho ).
Both intelligent persons of indicine ( Lol )
@Tiger the real Chuha… predicted bellow 10 cr opening & bellow 100 cr life time…
Where are u man???
@Navin… predicted bellow 7 cr opening & bellow 70 cr life time…
Where are u man???
#Fasal kerala
Very Good collection by FAN.
@Fasal kerla
Wow what a comment !
mindblowing statement like fan movie
And have you factored in the inflated ticket rates of Fan. Baat karta hai…
I can bet fans footfalls will be atleast 25 % lesser than jai ho on day 1.
And one more thing. Fan wasn’t a niche film it was a thriller and thrillers are not called niche films.
In Jai ho Salman was in his comfort zone and in fan Srk was in his comfort zone so equal equal. Still jai ho ahead in footfalls.
