Ishqiya takes its three week total to around 22 crore nett..
All about MNIK:
My Name Is Khan grossed around 1.75 crore nett on Monday. The collections are around 65% lower than last Monday. The total after 11 days is 58.75 crore nett approx.
The second week collections are likely to finish in the 16-17 crore nett ranges giving the film a two week total of 62-63 crore nett. The lifetime business of My Name Is Khan should comfortably cross the 70 crore nett mark though it may find it difficult to hit the 75 crore mark. This would make it the sixth highest nett grosser in history of Hindi cinema.

My Name Is Khan has dropped over its second weekend with business of around 11 crore nett. This takes the film's ten day business to 57 crore nett.
