Truly! The year belongs to SRK ❤️

Fan dropped 17% on Saturday and the fall came from mass centres which dropped much more. The drop in the high end premiums was around 10%. Basically on fair value day one business it means all India growth would be very limited. The first two day business of Fan is as follows

Friday - 18,75,00,000
Saturday - 15,50,00,000

Total - 34,25,00,000

The film will manage the highest weekend of the year despite the drop in mass centres. The bigger issue is only support from urban areas and that makes a big number difficult in the long run..

FAN Sunday (Day 3) Box Office Collection Update

31 mins agoby Indicine Team37 Comments2 min read


Shah Rukh Khan's FAN has opened better on Sunday as compared to the morning shows on Saturday, but the average occupancy at centres that we tracked (multiplexes) was still about 5% lower than Friday. The point to be noted here is, SRK films generally take a big opening on Friday morning and FAN was no different.

However, the big rise in occupancy is still missing, which continues to be a worrying sign because it's the late morning, noon and shows until about 8PM that perform the strongest at multiplexes on Sunday. As of 1:30PM on Sunday, business remains above average to good, but not excellent - which is what is expected out of a big critically-acclaimed film like FAN on Sunday.

Single-screen business has picked up too, but the occupancy continues to remain on the lower side due to lack of appeal. FAN probably had the widest release for a songless film in the history of the film industry, but even though the opening was decent due to Shah Rukh's presence, business has come crashing down on Saturday and Sunday is running at lower levels than Friday.

The makers would have done well to include the Jabra' song in the first half of the film, both to quickly establish the character of Gaurav and also to increase the appeal of the film at smaller centres. There are reports that even the multiplex audience were disappointed that the Jabra' song wasn't a part of the film.

Looking at the trends, FAN is now looking at weekend business of somewhere around 52 crore mark. Monday will be the biggest test, a good hold will be important if the film has to go on to be a decent grosser.

Wow, you guys are fast! I went away for 2 days and it's on the 3rd thread😲😆

Saw fan yesterday and I loved it!! Just goes to show, with a good director and an actual plot, SRK can hit it out the park! Take a freakin' bow, shah (I forgive you for the atrocity that is crappy new year and ra one - okay not really, still too soon).

SRK was absolutely brilliant as fanboy gaurav. There are so many moments where I went 'awww' at him. Like the part where Aryan calls him and he has total fanboy moment,😆his performance at the show.. it was so heartwarming how his parents - who were irritated by his Aryan obsession - helped him win that contest. And the moment where it went all downhill at the police station, I felt absolutely crushed for gaurav, even though he was the one in the wrong.

Honestly speaking, it's not a perfect movie by any stretch, the second half could've been tighter (there was a chase scene that added absolutely nothing to the plot), but like some other reviewers have already said, I was able to look past the the flaws because of SRK's brilliant performance.

4/5 - an extra .5 just for shah giving it his all.

Anyone know what the fan reactions are overseas???
How is the movie doing UAE, Malaysia, Europe side???

Finally saw it . Srk was just bloody brilliant . As Gaurav he was beyond exceptional . I think I loved him more as an actor in Gaurav then aryan. In some scenes he was too good that don't have enough words to praise him. The film overall was ok but Srk was lifeline. My mom & sis hated it but my dad liked it. The occupancy was low even in a 12 pm show. That is my only concern .

Watched the fantaaastic Fan and he won me all over again. Where did the actor in him disappear to in the recent past? Nevertheless I'm glad he found his way back 😆
