  • Dilwale … $210 million in domestic $320 million overseas Worldwide $530 million in just first weekend… so Jurassic World’s Record in danger

  • If the film is good it will do around 78cr, if average then it will have to settle for a 65cr lifetime, in the worst case senario it will not even touch the 45cr gross of the first part!

  • Have been watching emraan hashmi movies back to back, started with kalyug, then awarapan, then jannat 2, then shangai and now finally hamari adhuri kahani!!! Abcd2 deserves 2 flop if a great film like hak does below average business. Sure it had it’s flaws, but it was stil better than most films. Im a huge fan of emraan hashmi suddenly noticed, after akshay, my favourite is emraan hashmi, followed by salman and then finally saif ali khan. From youngsters, favourite is ranbir and then varun. Varun was good in previous movies but this does not deserve any kind of collection to be honest. And shame on reviewers who gave bad review to hamari adhuri kahani but will give god review to this and dil dhadkne do!

  • @arhaan khan.. rofl.. hahahahahahaha.. seriously some people r blind fans n jus dnt think wat they say!!.. no offense buddy but atleast put some logic!!.. $530 million .. hahaha
