Trade Pundits predict doom for My Name Is Khan

Strong words from some of the trade analysts on My Name Is Khan, three well known trade pundits speak.

Komal Nahta – My Name Is Khan is far from entertaining and also too boring for the general masses. For the heavy budget at which it has been made, it will keep its worldwide distributors (Fox Searchlight) in the red. Business in big cities, especially in South India, Muslim centers and overseas will be better but it will be below the mark in North India as also in smaller centers and single-screen cinemas. It may be appreciated by the class audience but the masses will reject the film.

Vinod Mirani – The curiosity value is over, it seems. The picture has suffered a considerable drop in collections on Monday,

The most shocking words though came from Amod Mehra, another well know Trade Analyst “At this moment, it appears the film will not be able to recover the cost because it has been sold at a high price.” On the film receiving 5 star reviews, he said “Earlier there were paid previews of the film, now there is paid review of the film.”

  • @ dipen dude

    Mnik released with 2500 prints worldwide

    Veer released with 1563 prints worldwide

    that what i want to say despite being let down by critics and multiplex audience

    sallu bhai veer recovers it huge budjets only on sallu bhai star power

    but regarding mnik despite good reviews also it will be same on final verdict of veer

    its proof the real critics is audience not critics 3 to 5 stars ratings

    and veer had collected its huge budjets only on max earning from single screen cinemas across india and in overseas us audience loved veer against these uk britishers minority now there , who never accept the history of there lost against warriors like pindaris and @ all indian and asians .

  • dipen your collections are looking good till now the monday collections are in the range of 3.5-4cr. it has taken a huge drop in delhi as well the only areas which are still good are mumbai and bangalore but bangalore is a minor contributor for bollywood films.

    nauman what do you think about monday collection

  • ar in which world you are living . kuch indians ki abroad mein film dekh lene se film hit nahi hoti it will be a disaster in india

  • @all

    we should give priorty first to result of india then overseas verdict

    bcoz @ all films were bollwood venture not hollywood

  • i dont know y these guys r saying in overseas its a massive hit nobody cares for indian box office
    where BOI is calculated from india not from uk, usa, aus ,nz wherever
    in india a clean flop at max below avg
    plz live in fact dont dream in dream land

  • I too believe that this movie is a flop. TTTTToooooooooooooooo much hype and tooooooooooooo little to offer. Even the muslim community will not be convinced. The comeback of Kajol may not be that successful. Shah Rukh Khan is nowhere near Darsheel of Taare Zameen Par.Sorry if I hurt the feelings of anyone. But I did not like it.

  • Sorry unknown

    The collections in Delhi/UP have dropped in the 40-45% region while South and Bengal is around 50% as compared to Friday. Single screens in Muslim centres are also faring well. Mumbai/Thane and Pune also saw good collections on Monday but Gujarat had a noticeable drop. Circuits like CP Berar, CI and Rajasthan have seen 60-65% falls as compared to Friday.

  • guys I must say MNIK has to recover a huge amount of money for which it is sold and the publicity (media, channels, paid , etc)..

    as ther movie lacks entertainment and repeat value, monday showed a huge crash in many circles and even ran to 15% of occupency on single screens.. multiplexes down to 20%.. the media and others are still projecting outstanding figures to maintain the hype (just a matter of few days only)..

    the virdict is clear .. its going to be average or flop in domestic markets and internaional markets would be crashing tuesday onwards..

    * some sources also say it might crash quickly as the hype and critics overrated reviews are unjustified with the actual content of movie.

  • @ Dipen Sen

    Here I am, did u miss me?

    5.25 crore? Not bad, given the box office doom some where predicting ….ahem…ahem..
