'Fan' Box Office report: Shah Rukh Khan-starrer fails to show magic on Sunday; collections dipping

Shah Rukh Khan's latest release Fan has garnered tremendous praise from critics and fans alike. However, the film has failed to show jabra action on the box office. 

On Saturday, Fan became the highest weekend opener at the box office in 2016, beating Akshay Kumar's Airlift which had maintained its position for 4 long months. However, on Sunday, Fan failed to show major growth at the box office, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Fan sees Shahrukh make a triumphant return to form essaying a double role and so far the critics have also given a thumbs up to the film in both India and Pakistan.
