My Name Is Khan[4][5] is a 2010 Indian drama film directed by Karan Johar and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Gauri Khan and stars Shahrukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles.[6] The film was jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment and was distributed by FOX Star Entertainment, which had bought the rights for the film for a sum of ?100 crore(US$15 million), making it the most expensive Bollywood film of 2010.[7] It is also the highest buyover for any Indian film, surpassing Ghajini's record of ?90 crore(equivalent to ?176 crore or US$26 million in 2016).[8]


Before its release, the film generated a great deal of publicity for itself due to three main reasons: first, the multiple political controversies surrounding the film and its lead actor; second, Khan's presence in the film(he was last seen in a leading actor role in December 2008, when Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was released); and third, the reunion of the "golden pair" of Khan and Kajol, who last appeared together in the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001.[9][10]


My Name Is Khan debuted in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 10 February 2010.[11] It premiered globally in cinemas on 12 February 2010.[12] It was also screened as part of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival's official selection the same month.[13]


Upon its release, the film broke many box office records. My Name Is Khan was the highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas at the time, which was then overtaken by 3 Idiots.[14] Within four weeks, the film crossed the ?70 crore(US$10 million) mark in India and became the first film of 2010 to do so. In the overseas markets, the film grossed ?110.34 crore(US$16 million).[15] My Name Is Khan earned a worldwide gross of 200 crores.[16] The film was released in India on DVD on 28 April 2010. Blu-ray in India, plus a DVD
