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.

My Name is Khan creates history by grossing 176.60 crores internationally
My Name is Khan is the story of Rizwan, a Muslim from Mumbai who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome and undertakes a journey to meet the President of USA after his life changes post 9/11.Rizwan,played by Shahrukh Khan has been widely appreciated by critics and public alike and this is reflected in the collections grossed by the film.
On an international level, it has already grossed Rs.174.60 crores and is expected to garner even more. Its collections are fast catching up with Hollywood blockbusters like Dark Knight, Transformers 2 etc.For the first time a Bollywood movie has earned USD 3.3 million in the Middle East, thus creating history.
Even though the market is flooded with rumours that the collection of one of the most awaited films of the year has dipped after its weekend release, this is far from the truth. In fact, it is expected to rake in more moolah as it gets released in certain countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Syria on 10th March.
According to Vijay Singh of Fox Studios, the film is getting an overwhelming response everywhere. It got released in other markets and even non diaspora audiences are lapping it up. Even in Indonesia, it has managed an increase from 6 to 14 screens within a short time.

MNIK has jammed badly
Posted by: BollyPlus Team, 03-Mar-2010, 11:50 IST
Shahrukh – Kajol – Karan Johar combination My Name Is Khan has been the most awaited movie since its announcement. It opened in cinemas halted by a very big controversy against Shahrukh vs Shivsena issue.
Movie didn’t release in several places in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and Gujarat and in many other places. But MNIK collected 8.5 cr on its first Friday which is the 3rd biggest Friday after 3 Idiots and Ghajini in history of Indian Cinema. MNIK collected 30 crs. in its first weekend and total of 44 crs. in its first week. After 1st week collections Super Hit status and 80 crs plus was highly likely but unfortunately it didn’t happen. MNIK dropped badly in 2nd week and collected only 16 cr. After 2 week collections were near to 60 – 61 cr. Five to six carore in 3rd week was expected but MNIK couldn’t pick up in its 3rd week and 3rd weekend could only generate 1.33 cr. Now it looks like this movie will wrap up something in between 63 – 64 crs with near to 38 cr distributor share.
Final Verdict: Average to Above Average.
the movie already garnered 102 crores in india…..
aur ye ant shant kya likh raha hai nano…kaha tha salman ki last blockbuster likhne k liye…ye ghatiya dialoguebaaji karne k liye nai kaha tha….saala khud mental hai…isiliye pagalkahne ki ambulance ki aawaz sunai deti ahi….

Shah Rukh Khan starrer My Name is Khan has grossed Rs 174.60 crore worldwide with India contributing Rs 102.2 crore and international markets netting an all time high of Rs 72.4 crore for a Hindi film, distributors said.
It has become the highest grossing Bollywood film in the Middle East at USD 3.3 million. With the movie opening in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria on March 10, the number is expected to go much higher, according to Vijay Singh of Fox Studios.
In the UAE, MNIK’s collections are nearly on par with Dark Knight, Transformers 2, Spider Man 3 and Twilight: New Moon. At final count, the Middle East distributors expect the figures to be twice of Fox Searchlight’s global 2008 phenomenon Slumdog Millionaire in this market, he said.
“In other markets too, it continues to grow and has crossed over to non-diaspora audiences. In Indonesia, for example, the film has grown from 6 to 14 screens,” Singh said. Directed by Karan Johar, the movie is about the journey of an Indian family and their saga post the 9/11 attacks on the US.

MAHENDRA VED
Bollywood says goodbye to running around trees
2010/03/01
“MY name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.”At once persuasive and defiant, this resounding statement in Bollywood’s latest blockbuster is an appeal to the world for rational thinking and compassion.
It comes at a difficult time when neither is easily forthcoming in a world where 9/11 is not just a date but also a seemingly impregnable wall, both psychological and physical.
I will not narrate the story, as many Malaysians will have seen the movie. To continue from my last piece, however, I must add that the best thing that has happened to My Name is Khan is the people of Mumbai, and other Indian cities, calling the Shiv Sena bluff and thronging the theatres.
Released in 120 theatres across the United States, the film grossed US$1.86 million (RM8 million) in the first weekend and set a new record in Canada. Shah Rukh Khan received a rapturous welcome at the Berlin International film Festival.
“They don’t call him King of Bollywood for nothing!” said Bild, the biggest German newspaper.
“Shah Rukh is the most famous man in the world with three billion fans — that’s more than for George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt combined.”
I saw the film a day after its release. The Delhi audience reaction was one of some applause and moist eyes at the end. It was a great viewing experience, although many thought it was rather heavy on the head and the heart.
A movie that is heavy on head and heart from a Bollywood known for escapist entertainment?
MNIK, as it has come to be known, redefines Bollywood fare, if redefinition is needed after a string of good movies with universal appeal. The era of running around the tree is gone.
Emulating Khan’s lines, the Times of India speaks of a whole new mantra for the Indian movie industry which might go something like: “My name is Bollywood and I’m not just an entertainer. I have a whole lot to say and I’ll say it in style.”
It notes MNIK director Karan Johar’s eye for detail, which not only sweeps across contemporary history, but also creates startling vignettes with scenes that question, challenge, debate and debunk established myths. You have a cinema that inspires, moves, motivates and forces you to think.
Take the terrorism issue. This is the third movie in less than two years to work on post-9/11 America, to effectively put across the problem of racial profiling, detention and torture by a paranoid American security apparatus, all targeted at Muslims.
New York and Kurbaan did it earlier. Each portrayed the human drama unleashed by the events of 2001, for which the end is nowhere in sight.
I cannot hide my elation that in all three, the turning point comes with the proactive roles played by Indian American journalists.
With three meaningful movies, Bollywood can take legitimate credit for putting across the Muslim angst to the whole world.
Add to that Khuda Ke Liye, made in Pakistan under more daunting conditions, and a larger South Asian picture emerges.
Granting that political parties in India do have their agendas, Shah Rukh declares: “As a people, we are secular.”
He says: “A secular nation like India, being neither the perpetrator of terrorism, nor a military interventionist, is eminently qualified to spread the message of love and compassion in this terrorism-struck world. Being a victim of terrorism makes India’s task effective and its message credible.”
MNIK’s denouement comes in the form of a meeting between Khan and a character playing Barack Obama, who accepts that Khan is not a terrorist and apologises to him and his wife for the loss of their son.
Khan sets out on his memorable journey to meet George W. Bush. Given Bush’s worldwide unpopularity, such a meeting would not have sent the desired message.
So Johar keeps Khan going in circles and has him recovering from an attack by Muslim extremists, till the American people elect the “first African president”, who has no problem receiving, without responding directly, Khan’s very oriental adaab (greeting) with salaam-aleikum. Very clever.
If Shah Rukh places Indian society on a pedestal, along with Johar and the makers of New York and Kurbaan, all shot largely in the US, he also pays rich tribute to the American society that permits criticism.
Yet, MNIK shows a beacon to America. Note Khan’s warm ties with the black family of remote Wilhemina in Georgia.
American trade publication Hollywood Reporter aptly says: “This is a movie not built for subtlety, but it does tackle a subject American movies have mostly avoided — that of racial profiling and the plight of Muslim-Americans.”
Some Western critics, among them the New York Times, have dismissed MNIK as “a fairy tale”. They ignore that Khan, afflicted by Asperger’s sSyndrome, does view the issue in simplistic terms. He thinks that his unfair questioning by the American authorities can only be remedied by talking to the president.
Reuters, calling the movie naïve for trying to divide the world into good and bad, attacks its basic concept.
One may well ask why are the US and Europe, desperate to quit Afghanistan, looking for “good” and “bad” Taliban?
And if there are “good” Taliban, why has millions been set aside to purchase them?
However, let me not dilute MNIK’s message. It moves you at every point. It works at different, complex levels, tells a few home truths, but is
not preachy. What’s more, it entertains. There are several moments of laughter.
Khan quotes from the Quran on some occasions to justify his arguments, and even clashes with those who want to avenge the ill treatment meted out to Muslims by Christians and Jews in America and Europe. Yes, India and Hindus, too, figure on their hate list.
That such people exist is no secret. They are not going to be happy with Shah Rukh and his character. And they are not going to vanish.
The movie promotes reconciliation. Is anyone listening?
Haterzzz can go on and on.. fact is MNIK has done 5 times more business than flop Veer…
Taran Adarsh has said that Eros has lost 15 -20 crores on Veer.. hahaha..
16 films and one hit for salman.. that too a south remake LOL
