'My Name is Khan' breaks UAE box office record

The epic film 'My Name is Khan' has smashed the record for the biggest opening of a Bollywood film in the UAE.

The National reported that 135,858 tickets had been sold in the four days since the movie began its commercial run in the country last Thursday.

Starring one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan, the film centres on depictions of Islamophobia after 9/11. Directed by Karan Johar, the movie also stars Kajol.

My Name Is Khan is triumphant entry for Star-Fox in Bollywood

Star-Fox, the American co-producers of Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan are mighty pleased with the outcome of their first international collaboration.

Interestingly, the music in MNIK is not being seen as a hindrance for the international market.

Says Vijay Singh, CEO Star-Fox, "The songs are not lip-sync and they do not hamper the flow of the narrative. The myth that the songs must be lip-sync has been broken. The idea is to push the boundaries and see how far we can take Bollywood. MNIK has raised the bar for Indian cinema. Abroad, my colleagues in LA are surprised by the kind of numbers we're getting in the US. Khan has performed 2 1/2 times better overseas than any other Indian film. It's a great moment for Bollywood. Nobody knew what the upper limit for profits was for Bollywood internationally. People leave the theatre with a message in their heart. We all went through some difficult times initially. But that's all behind us now."

Singh says the Star-Fox headquarter in LA were watching the progression of MNIK very carefully. "We always believed in the film. Right from Day 1, they were looking at Khan not as a film on issues but an epic love story. That's what attracted us to the project in the first place. We've put the film in different countries keeping in mind the different audiences. In the UK we've given it the highest number of prints possible. We worked very closely with Karan Johar and then marketed the film according the cultural requirements of the specific countries. Our colleagues all over the world were taken into confidence. We don't see the international market as a spill over of the Indian market. We spent money in every market to set up the film keeping in mind the specifics."

Says Vijay, "Audiences for Indian cinema are changing all over the world. MNIK had the biggest and the best talent in Hindi cinema."

And now Star-Fox will produce another Hindi film. "This time more of an entertainer on a far less lavish budget but with an underlying message," promises Vijay Singh.

'My Name is Khan' to be dubbed in German and Turkish

Fox-Star Studios, co-producers of Shah Rukh Khan’s latest release My Name is Khan will soon release the film in dubbed German and Turkish versions.

Vijay Singh, CEO of Star-Fox, confirmed and said, “We want to expand our audiences beyond the Indian diaspora. Typically Bollywood has a lifespan of two weeks abroad. We went to 45 countries when it released on February 12. Now we plan to go to another 25 countries between March and June. In April we will launch 50 prints of MNIK in Poland with Polish subtitles.”

Explaining why it won’t be dubbed in Arabic and Polish, Singh said, “We wanted to dub it in Arabic, but our representatives said the Mid-East audience wants to see Hindi films in Hindi. Likewise, Poland is no stranger to Bollywood, so we don’t need to dub in Polish. However, to reach out to a wider audience we do need to dub it in German and Turkish. The details are being worked out. We decided to release the dubbed versions after the reception Shah Rukh got in Berlin.”

Singh says that the Star-Fox headquarters in LA was watching the progression of MNIK very carefully. “In the UK we’ve given it the highest number of prints possible. We worked very closely with Karan Johar and then marketed the film according the cultural requirements of the specific countries. Our colleagues all over the world were taken into confidence. We don’t see the international market as a spillover of the Indian market. We spent money in every market to set up the film keeping in mind the specifics,” he said.
