These predictions are real hard to get right, simply because box office is very unpredictably and a lot depends on the merits of a film. But a film like My Name Is Khan, irrespective of how it turns out to be, is likely to open to huge numbers. The first weekend will no doubt be record breaking, both overseas and India.
Here is our prediction for the year’s most awaited release – My Name Is Khan directed by Karan Johar starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol!
- Opening weekend – 30 crores minimum, could even be as high as 38 – 40 crores including paid previews.
- Week 1 (if loved): 60 crores plus, could easily beat Ghajini.
- Week 1 (if mixed): 55 – 60 crores
- Week 1 (if disliked): 50 – 53 crores
- Lifetime (if loved): 110 – 120 crores. The repeat value is unlikely to be as high as 3 Idiots.
- Lifetime (if mixed): 100 – 110 crores.
- Lifetime (if disliked): 75 – 80 crores
Overseas, the film is likely to beat the record of 3 Idiots even if the reactions are mixed, mainly due to the wide release and the SRK – Karan – Kajol fan-following. $20 million plus is a possibility if the film is loved.
Indian box office numbers will be more interesting though, here are some reasons why
- Aamir Khan currently holds the record for two of the biggest money spinners ever – Ghajini and 3 Idiots. While MNIK is not expected to break the records set by 3 Idiots, it will be interesting to see if the film can beat the 15 month old Ghajini in India.
- Can MNIK beat the opening weekend record of 3 Idiots?
- Can MNIK beat the opening week record of Ghajini or even 3 Idiots?
Do tune into Indicine. We’ll keep you updated on My Name Is Khan.
i am sure that it will be a good movie.hope for the best…
Agree on the overseas part, SRK has done extensive promotion overseas, but disagree on the India totals.
I think the film is to American-centric and Srk may have lost some following after his comments. I reckon 90 crores if accepted (lifetime)
If disliked then 50 crore.
if WOM is good for the movie i think it should touch 100 crore in india
i think indicine
im totally agree with your prediction.
overseas market mnik easily beat 3 idiosts with huge no.s . but india its depent only and only 1st week performance in multiplex. this look like a only international audience. so my opinion is that in india
it will do big bussiness in metro citiese.
so my prediction is that-
overall 80 cr+ international market ( coz of mega release in international market and no big release in hollywood during 12 feb. so some international audience go for mnik)
in india 40 cr in mumbai
in delhi 25 cr
in kolkata-4-5 cr
in other teritory 15 cr
overall total goes to
165 cr+
if movie is bad
then it will down to 100cr – 120cr.
indicine predected about 3 idiots is-
100 cr in lifetime if movie is good and what happened????
but indicine was correct about prediction of veer.
so movie will going to rock
No ways it s gonna beat d records of Ghajini or 3 Idiots! Impossible!
Max it will make 70-80cr. it shud settle for a hit nothin more.
Overseas may be superhit.
Amish, even Rab ne and OSO which weren’t exactly universally accepted did 80 crores plus in India.
MNIK with price tickets hiked (same as 3 idiots) should atleast be 10% – 15% higher.. anyway, let’s see.
MINK most awaited film from Srk n karan johar team. I think it’ll set a new record on overseas market but can’t able to touch even Gajhini record over indian market.
no chance if the film is extremely loved it will reach maximum 85crors so pls dont misguide us indicine team.
srk doesnot have enough power to get those numbers. specially after the negative review by sagarika
what OSO was not accepted universally what a big lie indicine thats the max power of shahrukh at most this film will earn 85cr. but after negative reviews coming in it might end up at 50cr
after the negative reviews its looking like the same the salman fans expectations were sky high and all those expectations got smashed i feel bad too as a sallu fan and similar thing might happen here most of shahrukh fans are saying sagarika is a journalist so what she is a spectator too and she watch the film and doesnot like it means public may not like it too
Aamir khan is number 1 right from ghajini time………..But he might lose his position becoz in 2010 there are no major release of aamir……………actually its tough to say……….becoz MNIK and Kites are not for Indian audience.those unlikely to beat 3idiots records………but in oversees those film will do record breaking business………….
Prediction on MNIK:
Paid preview:3 Crores Friday:11 crores
Saturday:10.5 crores
Sunday:12.5 crores
Weekend::-35-38 crores
Week 1::- India::-55 crores
Oversees::-30
Week 2::-India::-20
Oversees::-20
Total:::::– India::-100 Crores
Oversees::_65 Crores
VERDICT::–Average/Semi hit
My prediction – 100 cores in india n 100 cores in overseas. 3 idiots will win the race.
i sure
MNIK
first week:-) 28cr
life time:-) 40cr
Disaster
taran gives 4.5 star. to mnik same as 3 idiots

flop flop flop
i am a new user
but i think movie will not be big hit ok average will be so lets wait for movie
taran loves karan……:)
A. In India Friday is a holiday so it will be expected to at least get the second best opening ever after Three Idiots. Overseas all opening records look like being shattered.
source BOI
it’s true that mnik is having atleast on holiday in every weekend
12 holiday
19 holiday
27holiday
1march holiday
so it should work
but from 26 2 releases it shoulh have strong screen space to take the advantage of holidays
hi
i don’t hope but i know that MNIK is a good movie. All is talking about 3 idiots but i don’t say that this movie is a great movie but ya ofcourse 3 idiots is that type of movie which inspires us . And i know that MNIK is also a inspiring one. Every one is saying that this movie will not do good but i am against these sayings. Anyway i’m eager to watch this movie .
Ranjita Pant
Nepal.
i hope it will be supar Hit for sharuk khan
This movie will be a super hit or a blockbuster.. no doubt.. but why Indicine team comparing this drama with the comedy movie 3 Idiots?! If it did less at the box office so that is because MNIK is not a comedy movie.. and u could never measure the success or say that 3 Idiots should be considered as a better movie – if MNIK grossed less at the box office – any comedy movie would work more than any drama, thriller, politics, historic, etc.. because comedy is everyone’s favourite.. if a movie would make u laugh so u want to see it again, just to hv fun and laugh again, but melodrama, serious movies.. these movies you watch it one time and u don’t plan to see it again in the same week or a week after the release, but after sometimes ( I’ll watch it again and again because I’m a big Shahrukh’s fan)
So you should never compare the box office collection of a movie like MNIK with a comedy movie of Aamir Khan.. if you’d compare the collection of MNIK with any of Aamir’s movies, then u should compare it with TZP only or Paa for big b or Kurban and New York.. with these movies only.
WOW I CAN’T BELIEVE MOST OF U GUYS ARE BLIND!!! ARE U SERIOUS SAYING THAT MNIK IS GOING TO DO BAD AT THE BOX OFFICE, THIS MOVIE IS GUARENTEED TO BEAT GHAJINI AND IM PRETTY SURE IT WILL BEAT 3I IN INDIA, IF NOT IT WILL SURELY BEAT IT IN OVERSEAS !!! KING KHAN ROCKS AND ONE MORE THING (FUK SHIV SENA!!!) YEAAAHHHH 100CR FIST WEEK
@Fathiya ..Haha I am loving this :) without watching the movie u r defending it hahaha …This is life it goes on.I defended Veer now u will defend MNIK.But I hope so now u understand how bad it feels when somebody without watching writes bad things about a movie.He\She makes an assumption its gona b bad n even after watching it his\her point of view doesn’t changes.
Indian box office numbers will be more interesting though, here are some reasons why
Aamir Khan currently holds the record for two of the biggest money spinners ever – Ghajini and 3 Idiots. While MNIK is not expected to break the records set by 3 Idiots, it will be interesting to see if the film can beat the 15 month old Ghajini in India.
Can MNIK beat the opening weekend record of 3 Idiots?
Can MNIK beat the opening week record of Ghajini or even 3 Idiots?
never this records will never going to break by mnik….
i just want to say a basic reason that ghajni and 3 idiots released in vacation times
and mnik is releasing during maharashtra state board exams and all most all over india final exams were are going from february month ….
and other reason its doesnt have impact like ghajni and 3 idiots to bring single screen and multiplex people…
mnik is multiplex movie and made specially for uk audience the success behind srk box ofice collection till yet is uk majority audience like srk some previous movies.
Indicine
nice prediction but dont u think that it should be little bit less ???
i gave my prediction 3,4 days ago here . i think weekend near to 28-30 cr and 1st week 50 cr life time 80-85 cr. if good
taran gave 4.5 stars .
he gave Ghaniji and 3 Idiots also 4.5 stars.
but if he has watched on sunday 5 days before release then it shows that Karan and SRK invited them , showed him movie then dinner and after dinner expensive Wines and Wiskies .
next moring he has to give it at least 4 stars . but may be dinner and wine was very good so he gave 4.5
hahahaha.
We are also putting our prediction on our site.
which is near to indicine .
lets see
Hina
it means i hv to defend Kajra Re
hahaha
SALAAM nauman +1 that never ends for you words
”but if he has watched on sunday 5 days before release then it shows that Karan and SRK invited them , showed him movie then dinner and after dinner expensive Wines and Wiskies .

taran adarsh is baadshaah of 65% impure critics now a days ….
dnt belive in taran adarsh rating, he dnt know how to rate movie……………….

my name is khan will roxxx at the box office.. taran adarsh gave 4.5 star it’s right..
srk will win…
