We had predicted a big opening for ´Main Hoon Na´ in our last column.
We were slightly wrong as the opening was not big but monsterous, shattering many records. The existing first week highest record was for ´Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham´ which was around 12.50 crore. ´Main Hoon Na´ surpassed it by more than a crore and with far fewer prints.
It has also shattered many circuit records, which include Mumbai, Delhi-UP, Rajasthan and South. The film maintained an approximately 90% collections for the whole week at an all India level and the distributors share for the first week in Delhi - UP was a whopping 2.50 cr and 70 lakhs in East Punjab and 25 lakhs in Bihar which are not so strong Shah Rukh territories.
First week collections : 8,66,96,384 from 156 cinemas cinemas (reported)First week total (calculated) All India 13.40 cr - 13.60 cr
Verdict - The movie is on way to a grand all India success and the way things have progressed in the second week it will be semi-hit by the end of week 2, hit by week 3 or 4 and so on to a probable superhit status by the 8th - 10th week, but for that we have to wait and watch. In the overseas too the movie has obtained good collections in US & UK.
