Can My Name Is Khan beat 3 Idiots is the hottest topic of discussion around, both in the trade and Bollywood websites.
But the benchmark that Aamir Khan has set with his last two releases is so high that any film hoping to break those mind-numbing records would need the following
1) Huge Star – Which MNIK does have in Shahrukh Khan
2) Great content and word of mouth – Very important. All the initial reviews of MNIK, so far, are good.
3) Mass Appeal – Both Ghajini and 3 Idiots had tremendous mass appeal and did great business at Single Screens in smaller cities too. MNIK is unlikely to hold the same appeal.
4) Repeat Value – 3 Idiots had great repeat value, many watched it multiple times in theaters.
5) Ticket Prices – The hike in ticket prices helped 3 Idiots greatly, but unless the film is liked greatly, it could put off a certain section of the audience.
What do you think, can My Name Is Khan beat 3 Idiots?
sharukh cant reach Aamir khan,Aamir is far ahead from him.

adii accept the truth dont get jeaolus from veer of bollywood salman khan
veer verdict is still awaited and it is already declared hit in some teritories
planet bollywood
EROS International and Vijay Galani Moviez’s `Veer` did well initially in spite of bad reviews
Veer Verdict: Awaited
Weekly Earnings: India Rs. 33 crore ; UK£39,822; US$ 92,336 Total Earnings: India Rs. 33 crore ; UK £254,971; US$499,685
PB Rating: 7.0 out of 10 Public Rating (by 536 unique users): 7.41
EROS International and Vijay Galani Moviez’s `Veer` did well initially in spite of bad reviews. Although EROS is likely to lose, some of the distributors of the Salman-Zarine starrer will earn commission due to their reasonable price. The film is so-so in the Overseas but somewhat better in the US.
and you know exactly teh opposite news will comes against mnik if you dont stop fake publicity of mnik
what will be the words that ”
fox International and dharma production and red chillies film ”mnik”did not do well initially in spite of good reviews by 65% impure critics like taran adarsh and by fake publicity from srk the original publicity kaa baadshaah not bollywood kaa
so, stop hatred against sallu bhai otherwise you have to face hard word from me for you srk even if i dont want to
chill mnik will atleast get the tag of average b’coz it has co – producer srk fake publicity kaa baadshaah behind it ok
adii get soon well and come out from dreams of yours
that we will follow your orders ….yaa i know its your false dream that we are following your orders ….chill
just like your fav star srk always leaving in false dream and saying that he is bolwood kaa baadshaah
but in real all knows that true bollywood kaa baadshaah is amir khan with blockbuster line up in last two decades with both critically and commercially success of his film followed by him veer of bolywood salman khan who had 65% opposition in film industry but he is true warrior of bollywood for his deseved status .
chill adii
we are here just b’coz till yet i observed indicine a good bollywood site and amongst my 35% pure critics and
we just write comment on indicine page not on you scraps or etc or you community
so all izz well for us and indicine dont we need your advice till then chill adii
yes sure, all the movies for king is the best, good luck king sharoukh
Afrid Khan
ok mnik will do avrage bussiness and srk is publicity ka badshah.
but i wanna see yor comment after 1st friday of mnik.
u like amir and like too . so amir and srk for me in a same boat.
and salman khan swimming in the dead sea but unfortunately he doesnt know swim. atlast he will dip in dead sea.
Bad news for srk fans
Shivsena banned mnik screening in Maharashtra .
Box office par sirf police hi police hai koi audience nahi .
Total 300 screens in Maharashtra . So big loss for mnik or bcoz of this big loss mnik will be declared as a flop in 1st week . best of luck
I am quite confident that mnik will break records of 3idiots and Gajni. So wait and see. Its srk if sina banned the movie. But we are srk fans we can’t be stopped and we are brave fans of brave srk. We are not coward like Sinha. Love u srk. Jab khuda srk k saath hai to phir kis cheeze ka dar. Love u srk.

dilip wat abt u
BAJRANG DALA (similar to Shiv sena) threatened to disrupt the screening of My Name Is Khan in Orissa
Shahrukh Khan’s film My Name is Khan is akin to controversy. First, it was the Shiv Sena, who threatened to ban the film, then joined the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and now Orissa unit of the Bajrang Dal.
Orissa unit of the Bajrang Dal has threatened to disrupt the screening of My Name is Khan in the state if Shahrukh fails to offer apology for supporting the inclusion of the Pakistani cricketers in the IPL.
Subash Chouhan, national co-convenor of the Bajrang Dal, said that they would not allow the screening of My Name is Khan in the state unless Shahrukh apologise for his comments. He added that the actor acted like an agent to Pakistan by raising his voice for the cause of its cricketers.
MNIK Review is coming soon. just wait.
indicine team:
thx u came to my site. but it is not ready yet but give me 1 more week we will see improvement.
Hi Nauman,
i think u will give 4/5. is it true?
Box Office: MNIK advance bookings: Better than Karan Johar’s Qurbaan, but down from top
Thursday, February 11, 2010
My Name is Khan’s box office bookings are good in multiplexes in muslim heavy regions (Delhi, Hyderabad, parts of Bombay where it may open) and not so good outside. Claims of a 80% advance booking across India are hallucination as in some theaters, bookings are not even 8% forget 80%. Distribution and their PR reps at theaters are painting a far rosier picture in the media than it actually is. But it may not be necessarily a disaster like Kurbaan either, which it will be recalled was too a Karan Johar movie made on a similar theme of a muslim man with Hindu wife thrown in to boot in US after 9/11 (starring a Khan, Saif Khan and Kareena Kapoor). On average the advance is about 25%, with best slottings in metros like Hyderabad and Delhi, which have high muslim populations. Parts of Mumbai city which have this demographic have a similar pattern. In Kolkata the bookings at multiplexes like Fame at Highland park are in the 20% range even as tons of screenings are being conducted. The morning show is booked at 85%, ostensibly by people looking to make a statement, while rest of the 15 shows are currently booked at 5%. In interiors the response is poor, though again in some places the polarized demographic turrnout will see 80% in some theaters, 5% in others. The film has almost 40% dialogues in English and is set in US. This is why a clean release in Maharashtra is critical for MNIK’s survival. The current benchmark holder, 3 Idiots generated almost 70 crores of its 180-190 crore national net off Bombay territory.
MNIK will do great overseas. However, it will never break either 3 idiots, nor Gajini records. The movie is very serious and need not attract teenagers. I can’t wait to watch it.
SALAAM
nauman just say the truth b’coz ALLAAHTAALLAAH aapko dekh rahe hai .
Box Office: MNIK advance bookings: Better than Karan Johar’s Qurbaan, but down from top
Thursday, February 11, 2010
The 100 crore billed MNIK is going up against a current record of 3 Idiots but it will be nearly impossible to generate the same universal response for My Name is Khan than for 3I because of the already communal polarization. While helping it get increased collections from muslim influenced stations, it may not be able to compensate from the losses from the Hindu dominant ones, the center-right wing of which numbers atleast 300 million in population in the country and is positioned largely in the Hindi speaking bollywood markets as compared to minor ones like say a Madras down south.
The chances of MNIK breaking collection records in Bombay or India at large are therefore extremely unlikely since without the mainstream Hindus at sizeable levels, it virtually can’t be done.
Overseas is a slightly difference case. The US/UK so called NRI market is actually heavy with muslims from Pakistan and other muslim countries. The political leanings in the segment tend to be more along MNI Khan’s ideological tilt so it is possible in US/UK the film may get the records.
However there too, especially in USA which has a heavy Gujarati population, it is doubtful if that won’t impact it a bit as well. Earlier the film was supposed to release in 200 screens in USA, but given the lack of interest from the non-ethnic (ie regular American) crowd, the actual number has come down to about 120. 3 Idiots’ US opening record is about $1.7 million off 119 screens.
nauman
is mnik has that impact that it can break ghajni or 3 idiots records?
