My Name Is Khan has opened to a huge response in India, but SRK fans expecting the film to beat the opening weekend collections of 3 Idiots, would be disappointed.

The advance booking that opened earlier this week, was fantastic. The paid previews playing at 2 shows per screen (7PM and 10PM) at multiplexes in select cities were sold out. With Friday being a holiday for Christmas, 3 Idiots will

Aamir Khan’s absconding act proved to be an expensive affair for producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who says that Aamir’s promotional activity – of disappearing and appearing in disguises in different parts of the country – was more expensive than making 3 Idiots. “This was a unique concept suggested by Aamir that proved very expensive for me as Aamir doesn’t travel by trains.
