My Name Is Khan box office verdict

My Name Is Khan which opened to packed houses during the weekend and eventually crashed at single screens and multiplexes in smaller cities has performed well-enough at the Indian box office to earn HIT status in less than 3 weeks.

The film crossed the 65 crore nett mark in 2 weeks and is heading towards lifetime business of around 75 – 78 crores.

Fox, the distributors of My Name Is Khan will recover their investment through the films theatrical business alone, as the film has performed very well overseas, along with good collections back home in India.

Box office verdict

  • India – HIT
  • Overseas – All time Blockbuster

All said and done though, MNIK will be considered below expectations here in India for the following reasons.

  • The film was expected to compete with Aamir’s 3 Idiots, but is expected to fall short of the  first week business of 3 Idiots (80 crores) in its entire run.
  • My Name Is Khan will not be able to cross the lifetime business of SRK’s last two films Om Shanti Om and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

  • ANUPAM dont talk crap… If a movie is good then it ll work anytime during the year…. U said to name a movie that has collected more than then MNIK in the first 3months i.e jAN to Mar…. 3I’s was realeased in the last week of DEc… ur saying that it is crap movie n it worked only cos it was realeased in Christmas holidays nah… then take this…. lets forget the collections of 3I’s on its 1st week i.e christmas holidays…. Even then 3I’s collected 110 crores net in JAN which is way ahead of MNIK…. if it was a crap movie then it would have not collected such huge amount…. BY saying that 3I’s was a CRAP MOVIE ur only FOOLING urself…. Everyone knws hw good the movie is…. if u wana corroborate the collections then u can check ur NO.1 site Boxofficeindia…. One more thing if a movie is crap then even if it is a holiday then also it ll not work and vice versa…. one more thing ANUPAM as ur a SRK fan then u must b knwing that most of the earlier blockbuster of SRK wer realeased in the month of OCT n NOV… which is holiday season as schools r closed for the month of OCT n DIWALI FESTIVAL which comes in OCT or NOV…. His movies wer advertised as GRAND DIWALI ATTRACTIONS…. SO does that make them CRAP MOVIES… ONe more thing ….. 3I’s is not a masala or a comedy movie as ur r making ir to be… U can say GAJANI was a masala movie…. 3I’s had a lovely message i.e follow ur heart, chase excellence not success, do not mug up ur studies… do ur courier in the field which ur r interested n many more…. OFCOURSE U WILL NOT AGREE WIT THIS…. But by not agreeing ur fooling urself not others… IT is a movie wit a msg which is given in a entertaining way… those who spending 250 to 350 bugs for a movie will b irritated if the movie is preachy ( MNIK ) without entertainment cos they want entertainment also to b relieved from stress… AND pls post links that are informative… UR links are only reporting the 1st day record or the weekend record or at the most its record in UK n ME…… AS per ur above post i.e

    “The film crossed the INR 700 million mark in India and over INR 2 billion worldwide”
    If i m not mistaken 70 million mark is 70 crores ( I agree ) but 2 billion worldwide i.e is 200crore…. how is this possible… It means that outside India it has earned 130 crores….. What a CRAP… AS PER UR No.1 SITE IT WILL BE LESS THAN 3I’s BY 5-7 CRORES in PHASE ONE… That is 65 to 67 CRORES AS 3I’s HAS EARNED 74 – 75 CRORES… waiting for ur reply ANUPAMMMMM

  • HI Prince, wer did to get the worldwide figures from… can u post me the boxoffice collections of 3I’s ( both India n outside india )

  • HI ANUPAM… the figures given by Prince are from THE GREAT FOX who are faking rite from the start… I Believe Boxoffice india site only… According to them MNIK is still behind by 5-7crores… the day they declare that the overseas of 3I’s then only I shall believe… IF it defeats 3I’s then it might be by a narrow margin i.e about 3-5crores….. U said that u had the last laugh… U r wrong bro cos i had the last laugh as worldwide coll wise of MNIK at the end of its run will be max 155crores… This is not greater than the coll of 3I’s in India also wer it collected 203crores,,, i.e 3I’s has defeated MNIK by 48 crores witout the overseas coll… VERY BAD BOY… If u take the overseas collections of 3I’s also then it sums up to a mamouth 275 crores i.e 120 crores more than MNIK… MNIK is nose diving from the first monday in India… It has the record for the higest drop in US as per a article… If u call MNIK a phenomenom in overseas then 3Idiots is also a phenomenom as it is not far behind, it collected only 2-3crores less than MNIK that to ONLY IF Germany n Poland earn about 9-10crores and if it collects less than 7 crores than it will be behind 3I’s in overseas by a small margin… ALSO MNIK earned about 5crores from countries where 3I’s did not release otherwise 3I’s would be the winner hands dwn…. VERDICT FOR OVERSEAS IS PENDING BUT IN INDIA MNIK IS FAR FAR FAR FAR BEHIND THAN 3IDIOTS… OVERALL WORLDWIDE VERDICT – 3IDIOTS IS THE CLEAR WINNER… AAL ISSS WEELLL

  • ANUPAM u said that MNIK collected 2.5 crores in its 4th week and that its total for 4weeks is 72.50crores… go to boxofficeindia and watch wit open eyes… MNIK has collected 1.78crores in its 4th week and its total for for weeks is 71.99crores… it needed 75 crore for Hit …. It will gross man 3-3.5crores in its remaining run… the total collections will be max 75.5crore which is just breakeven for a HIT… IT just managed to become a Hit in INDIA….

  • ANUPAM BY THE WAY U HAVE NOT YET REPLIED FOR MY POST FROM 16/03/2010… I M STILL WAITING BUDDY… NOW DONT TELL ME THAT U DONT HAVE TIME… I THINK U HAVE NO ANSWERS… BYE TC…C YA…..

  • fan, MNIK is 72.7 cr in India atm, and will wrap at 73 to 74 (max) cr at the most. Overseas, it will end at 65-68 cr (phase I), so that totals to 142 cr total. Where are you getting 155 cr for MNIK?

    as for those like Anupam shouting at the top of his lungs that MNIK is the top grosser in Aus, here is the truth is different. check below.
    http://www.boxofficeindia.com/npages.php?page=shownews&articleid=1602&nCat=news

    When we combine NZ, how does this look like
    MNIK (NZ) – 229,836 USD
    3 idiots(NZ) – 176,577 USD (source: boxofficemojo.com)

    Adding both, Aus and NZ figures
    3 idiots – 1276577 USD
    MNIK – 1154836 USD

    Difference: 121741 USD (~0.122 m USD)

    In the US, MNIK is struggling to touch 4 million mark. MNIK made a whopping 1,281 USD on it’s 39th day while 3 idiots on it’s 39th day made a paltry 37,436 USD (source: boxofficemojo.com)

  • U r absolutely rite Jeevcy… The 155 crore was a estimated figure on the higher and that too after it’s release in Germany n Poland and other countries i.e after phase II… Jeevcy as per boxofficeindia AUS lifetime will b around $925000 whereas per boxofficemojo it is $735538… Any idea u have about this diff… Can u plz tell me the lifetime collections of 3Idiots in overseas wit it’s breakup for diff countries… By the way wer is ANUPAM THE GREAT… Has he went into depression… Ha Ha Ha

  • Sorry I over estimated MNIK overall collections by about 8-10 crore… In India it shall collect max 74-74.5 crore… Overseas at present 68crores n after Phase 2 it will add another 3-4 crore making it’s total in overseas to max 72crore making the OVERALL TOTAL TO 146-147 crores maximum whereas 3Idiots OVERALL TOTAL IS 275-277crores which is almost DOUBLE THE OVERALL TOTAL OF MNIK…

  • Hey jeevcy the overseas collections of MNIK has defeated 3i’s… It’s present overseas coll is bout 73.5crores n ll add bout 4.5-5crores in phase II making it’s overseas lifetime collections bout 78 crores.. So it’s FINAL that MNIK overall worldwide total is 74.5 + 78.5 =153crores… But should notice that MNIK was realeased with more than 200 prints extra than other movies in overseas… Therefore if u would compare 3I’s n MNIK overseas than it should be compared with the nos of prints in which 3I’s was realeased… Then d collections of both the movies would be almost same…

    My Name Is Khan Is Biggest Grosser Overseas

    Thursday 1st April 2010 09.00 IST
    Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network

    My Name Is Khan has become the biggest Hindi film in the Overseas markets. It also must be noted that the film has had around 75 more prints in circulation than any other film till date. This figure will be around 200 more prints when it releases in Germany, Poland and Turkey in May. The business from various regions is as follows.

    UK/Europe -$4.2 million
    N America/Caribbean – $4.05 million
    Middle East – $3.75 million
    Far East – $1.75 million
    Australia/Pacific – $1.2 million
    Africa/Mauritius – $750,000
    Pakistan/Sri Lanka – $700,000
    TOTAL – $16.40 million (73.50 crore)

    My Name Is Khan has crossed the $15.50 million figure of Three idiots to become the highest grosser overseas but Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is still regarded as the biggest hit Overseas as that film grossed a huge $8 million in 2001 and the market then was half of what it is now. My Name Is Khan may finish at around $17.5 million after its 100 print plus release in Europe in May.

    THIS IS FOR THOSE MORONS WHO WERE SHOUTING AGAINST MNIK…ND REGARDS THE PRINTS MATTER..IF YOU WANNA MAKE PRINTS A FAVOURABLE FACTOR FOR MNIK..SO WAS THE HOLIDAY FACTOR FOR 3 IDIOTS….MNIK IS HISTORY..K3G IS A BIGGER HISTORY…LAST LAUGH IS MINE…AND REGARDS MNIK BEING HIT IN INDIA..CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK IDIOTS…..
    http://www.boxofficeindia.com/npages.php?page=shownews&articleid=1613&nCat=news

    THE DISCUSSIONS CLOSED FROM MY SIDE..KEEP SHOUTING JEEVCY….HOOO HAAH!

  • Hey anupam last laugh is that of Aamir Khan’s… There where three movies of three biggest Khans… And Aamirs 3I’s has won hands dwn.. It collected as it is a ATBB in India as well as outside India… It collected worldwide 273crores whereas SRK’s MNIK collected 152crores… There is a huge diff of crores… It’s not a small diff buddy.. It’s 150% of MNIK’s India collection.. As far as overseas collections is concerned MNIK has defeated by mere 7-8crores.. As far as the holiday factor is concerned if have already proved u that after in my past posts that excluding the collections of 3I’s coll in first week also 3I’s coll is far ahead than MNIK… 3I’s is a phenomenon which did extraordinary business throughout it’s run whereas MNIK did extraordinary business only in first week in India n then started nose diving… Overseas it was very good but expect in US were it fell after a good opening.. If 3I’s had the holiday factor in first week than MNIK had contraversy in huge realease by about more than 200 prints than any other movie in the overseas…

  • @fan:he he he…1 movie cant catapult aamir liliputtian to no.1 spot..it is the past 20 years record taht puts srk on no.1

    9/10 film having done humongous business overseas are of srk…mnik in phase 1 ahs beaten 3 idiots..in phase 2 its gonna trounce upon it.

    SRK has been giving blockbuster over the years..infat back to back…

    chak de
    om shanti om
    rab ne banan di jodi
    mnik

    aur kya chahiye…nothin more..his movies ae running to date..i dn remember any aamir liliputtian movies running so ;long…..and remember AAMIR KHAN WILL HAVE TO BE REBORN MILLION TIMES TO EVN GET CLOSE TO SHAHRUKLH KHAN..SHAHRUKH IS THE BEST…AAMIR BELONGS TO THE REST!

    u were shouting first that mnik was flop!
    wen that proved wrong..u started crying over overseas collections..infact u were trying to give ur own weird figures along with jeevcy..he he..wen that went wrong…u started crying about 3 idiots home success…till wen will u cry bachha…jaa so jaa….

  • and regards print comparison….NO PRODUCER/DIRECTOR TRUSTS AAMIR WITH HIS MOVIE IN OVERSEAS..ISILIYE PRINTS HI KAM NIKALTE HAIN..OLRYT! 200 PRINTS NIKALNE K LIYE NA GURDA CHAHIYE..BHAROSA CHAHIYE..STAR POWER CHAHIYE…AUKAT CHAHIYE!

    AAMIR ME NAI HAI YE SAB AT LEAST OVERSEAS ME….TO JYADA COMPARISON MAT KAR…AARAM KAR..THAND RAKH!

  • HA HA HA… wot a joke from THE GREAT ANUPAM… hey buddy i will answer to all ur questions….

    1.AAMIR LILIPUTTIAN : BUDDY height dosent matter.. Skill n talent maters… do u wanna example.. take this SACHIN TENDULKAR… by the way SRK’s Height is only 2 inches more than AK… If hieght would matter than Fardeen Khan would be a superstar Today…

    2.MNIK has beaten 3I’s in Phase I and will trounce upon it in Phase II : IF beating a movie in overseas by only 7-8crores is trouncing then the difference between 3I’s n MNIK i.e 130crores in INDIA is WHAT… ANY WORD ANUPAM… I m waiting for the WORD ANUPAM

    3. 9/10 film having done humongous business overseas : To BE PRECISE it is 8/12…. but it must be noted that expect a few others have FLOPED in INDIA or are just HIT…. To name a few KANK n DEVDAS…

    4. SRK has been giving blockbuster over the years : He has equally given DISASTERS n FLOPS over the YEARS… AAMIR KHAN HAS ALSO GIVEN BLOCKBUSTERS OVER THE YEARS… Infact from 2000 all his movies have scored EXPECT MELA… I DONT NEED TO NAME THEM… EVERYONE KWNS…

    5. HIS movies r running till date : Have u been to MARATHA MANDIR Anytime… PLS DO VISIT… the movie is there only for records… U will find that the theater staff are more than the people who r watching the movie… THAT to only 3-4 couples… I need not tell that why they cum there…

    6. SHAHRUKH IS THE BEST…AAMIR BELONGS TO THE REST! ; SRK MAY be the best… as AAMIR KHAN AND AB are in another league where SRK cannot even think to reach…

    7. I NEVER SHOUTED THAT MNIK WAS A FLOP… CAN U SHOW ME ANY OF MY POSTS SAYING THAT

    8. THE FIGURES SHOW WHO IS CRYING

    REGARDIND THE PRINTS I WILL REPLY

  • In my above post I have my mistake included K3G.. Sorry for the mistake.. Or else ANUPAM will write a full page about the mistake.. SORRY

  • Plz replace K3G n Veer Zara in my above posts… I typed it by mistake … Only KANK, Devdas wer flop n Don was just a hit in INDIA…

  • @fan:he he …aamir kahn will take 1000000 lives to even raech srk..srk is a contender in the times 100 most influential people…was in forbes 50 most powerful people…were is aamir kahn..he he he..were is he!!!

  • and regards top 9/10..idiot my data was for overseas only..u did not add neth extra tpo iot!!!aamir is a damn asshole!

  • anupam1804:

    SRGAY ko leka bakwas bandh karo .SRGAY ke muh pe koi su su su bhi nahi karta . Muh se itna badbu ati hai .

  • anupam i cant tell u an IDIOT also… i knw that u r talking about overseas… i just wanted to tell u that though the movies did huge business in Overseas they wer not that effective in India… Sucess in India is more imp than Overseas because even a flop in India ( regarding big stars ) the collections are around 25-35 crores…
