Just when 3 Idiots was supposed to be the biggest hit ever, Shahrukh Khan's My Name is Khan has broken world records for a Bollywood film. It has bettered all previous international box office records to record the highest-ever single opening day collections for a Hindi film.
Despite having a restricted release in Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of Madhya Pradesh on Friday, MNIK's worldwide box office collections are estimated at Rs. 25 crores for Friday! This is the highest ever collections for a non-holiday Friday in Bollywood history. Trade analysts estimate that it could have easily earned an additional 5-6 crores if it had been released normally across India. With the film playing everywhere across the country from Saturday onwards and given the strong buzz, this number is only expected to grow. it is a matter of time before My Name is Khan becomes a huge box office history, surpassing 3 Idiots as well.
WORLDWIDE RECORDS
UK BOX OFFICE RECORDS
In the UK, MNIK previewed on Thursday with an incredible £123k from 89 sites, 4th in the market place behind Avatar, The Wolfman Previews and Invictus.
In this market, MNIK has broken the record for the biggest GBO preview figure for any Bollywood release. The biggest single day preview figure in the UK was previously KANK with £98k.
The biggest total previews figure was 3 IDIOTS which had 2 days of previews (Wed/Thu) during the Xmas holiday period with £121k. MNIK single day previews are bigger than both days of 3 Idiots put together!
It is expected to be the biggest opening Bollywood film ever in this market by the weekend.
ANZ RECORDS
In Australia, Thursday previews of "MNIK" grossed a very good A$39K (US$34K). The movie is ranked #11 in the market. This is 107% of 3 Idiots Thursday BO.
In New Zealand, opening day took LC$ 13,627 (US$ 9,727). Bollywood films traditionally open on a Friday. The exception is 3 Idiots, against which MNIK has over-performed by 204%.
MIDDLE EAST RECORDS
The film is already 50% higher than any other previous film in Bollywood history with an opening day estimated at USD 300k.
There's a huge demand for additional prints in the existing chains across the Middle East and the print count is expected to increase to around 60 by next week.
Given the strong buzz, the film also will be released in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Oman and Lebanon in the coming week.

It has only broken records in overseas markets. In India, 3 Idiots record is intact. Also, don't forget that the real record of 3 Idiots is the 400 crore gross! First let MNIK cross that, then say that it has beaten 3 Idiots!
O Please,people grow up we indians have a big problem .We never want to appreciate good things ,we all judge by actor fight.People who have not watched MNIK go and watch it is better than 3 idiots.I am student 3 idiot massage which say do what you are good IN and etc,please i know that idon't need anybody to tell me that.Pesonally i can watch this movie
once.and regarding speech concept it's being copied.Secondly the controversy they created,I THINK MADE PUBLIC FEEL THAT 'PUBLIC IS IDIOT'.
SHAME ON AMIR.
I liked My name is Khan but it is VERY hyped.. and 3 idiots i felt was better. I think its the fact that sharukhan and kajol are back together in this film. I hope 3 idiots remains at the top because it was brilliant.
My Name is Khan is better than 3 Idiots because 3 Idiots had same stupid story of Munnabhai series, the toilet comedy was cheap and secondly do what you want to do in life. who needs crap like that
i wud rather watch a journey of a kind hearted man who helps people and is innocent by heart. My Name is Khan rocks, 3 Idiots sucks....My Name is Khan is better than 3 Idiots, yes according to me My Name is Khan defeats 3 Idiots
sanket,mnik is very very dull film compared to 3 idiots.mnik could not cross 200 crors only.

guys,guys,guys.......first let me clear that SRK is the king of bollywood.EVERY1 KNOWS THAT,AMIR KHAN PROMOTED BOTH OF HIS BLOOKBUSTER MOVIES(GAJNI AND 3IDIOT)WITH THE HELP OF SRK.so all of amirs fan dnt fly high in the sky because v know how to cut all of ur tails..........as well as fethers..........he he hee he he........eeeee............
SRK's fans are going riot with jealousy. These juvenile comments show their clear cut desperation and frustration. We don't need to argue. Everyone knows what ''records'' MNIK or RNBDJ have managed to break.
BTW, Aamir promotes his movies out of his ingenious and novel ways, which are copied even by the likes of your King Kong! He does not need anyone else's name to promote his films. The name Aamir Khan is itself a mark of standard and highest quality.
He rules supreme. SRK fans can keep barking and keep showing off their hollow ego.
The biggest hits, the most socially relevant and pathbreaking films are of Aamir Khan. And he is the ACE OF BOLLYWOOD. The real emperor.
Aamir is a better actor than SRK.3 Idiots is far more better movie than MNIK.I have seen bothe the movies and when I came out from the theatre I felt like once again book ticket of 3 idiots and view it. MNIK is very slow and dull and it does not touch reality and connect to people.
i think srk is drama king only.everywhere he goes he creates his drama.aamir is far better than shahrukh. He doesnot depend on any director.
khan iz d best .. heZ a talent an genius artist .. :)
It has only broken records in overseas markets. In India, 3 Idiots record is intact. Also, don't forget that the real record of 3 Idiots is the 400 crore gross! First let MNIK cross that, then say that it has beaten 3 Idiots!
