Despite controversies, unnecessary delays and the overwhelming and continuing success of Chennai Express, Humayun Saeed’s Main Hoon Shahid Afridi has earned Rs22 million in its first week of release (exact figures: Rs21,836,941). This is more than the total business of the much-hyped Chambaili but less then what was expected of the film.

However, excitement generated by word of mouth coupled with the fact that there are no pirated copies available in the market will give the film a good second week. A total business of Rs60 million is expected from the film. However, anything above that figure would be quite an achievement.
