Karan Johar directed and SRK-Kajol starrer My Name Is Khan (MNIK) has gone out to make a new history.
The
film, which released on Feb 12, has become a top-grosser film in North
America with total sales of $3,635,000 after 17 days of release. Being
a path-breaking film in Shah Rukh?s career, MNIK has surpassed his
earlier 2007 film Om Shanti Om records of $3,597,372 and continues to
play in 119 theatres across the US and Canada in its third week of play.
My Name Is Khan has proved fruitful for the director as well; by becoming
his highest grossing film surpassing the collection of ?Kabhi Alvida
Naa Kehna? ($3,275,444)
It is reported that a week earlier, with a
Sunday sale of $761,000, MNIK recorded the highest one-day gross ever
