Bajirao Mastani beats Dilwale in North America

While Dilwale is dominating almost all overseas markets, there is one territory where Bajirao Mastani has sneaked ahead of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer.

In North America (USA / Canada), Bajirao Mastani has collected $4,300,678 (Rs 28.53 crore), while Dilwale has collected $3,962,523 (Rs 26.30 crore). The difference isn’t much, but beating the mighty Shah Rukh Khan in his strong holds like North America, UK, Gulf and Australia.. is in itself a massive achievement for any film.

Overall, there is simply no comparison as Dilwale has set records in several overseas territories. The film has now collected nearly Rs 115 crore in the overseas markets and could go on to be Shah Rukh’s highest overseas grosser of all time.

Bajirao Mastani has performed very well too, it has collected Rs 68 crore in 10 days, taking it to the 4th spot in the highest overseas grossers of 2015 – behind Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dilwale and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.

  • Bajirao Mastani Business Economics below:

    Total investment: ? 120 -125 crore (i.e Cost of Production ? 100 crore + Marketing ? 20 – 25 crore)Recovery from Satellite rights: ? 50 crore (confirmed by makers)

    So the film has to recover somewhere around Rs 60 crore from India and Overseas (distributors share, not net box office collections).

    Approximate figures of how much Bajirao Mastani has to collect in India. Do note that this figure will vary depending on how well the film performs in the overseas markets.

    So assuming Bajirao Mastani performs fairly well overseas (which might prove to be difficult because of Dilwale and Star Wars), here is how much it needs to collect in India

    Bajirao Mastani will recover costs if it does ? 100-110 crore or more.If Bajirao Mastani collects more than ? 125 crore:
    HIT if Bajirao Mastani collects more than ? 160 crore:
    Super Hit if Bajirao Mastani collects more than ? 210 crore: Blockbuster

  • @sss ur king can,t beat ranveer and u are comparing him with megastar SALMAN first tell ur star to cross 150cr without deepika lol small mouth big talk.AND BY THE WAY YOUR KING NOW THINKING TO SHIFT RAEES AND U ARE DREAMING TO BEAT SULTAN LOL I THINK FLOP DILWALE ATTACKED YOUR MIND VERY HARD LOL

  • @indicine u had clearly mentioned in bajirao economics article that it needs 160cr+ in India given it scores well in overseas.

    Now both the criterias have been fulfilled as bm has scored a huge 67cr in overseas in just 10days and india is set to be in 160-175cr range.

    so i hope u won’t do a Palti and give it a just hit verdict. -_-

  • Read somewhere that Dilwale is distributed by Morani Brothers (friends of SRK) in the gulf and there is heavy manipulations in Dilwale collections from GCC countries? Any truth in this news?

  • @xzone – first I want to say before release you was telling dilwale will crash bm like nothing but now u all are telling it’s clash – try to except that dilwale is not good like we except when Salman movie not good and second check what I have written that I shocked that srk is behind in America how already Salman and Aamir passed him ahead in Overseas also

    Srk is good but in past but he has lose many competition to Salman and Aamir now he should not lose more

    My comments alway correct base on reality not dream

  • Protest play the big part in collection and it directly advantages the BM..BUT srk have not loss money bcoz of all that distributor loss..only haters will agree that protest have not much impact on dilwale and loss due to ranveer,bhansali..in india people will happy if modiji, dhoni and srk loss a little bettle…wish amir could not face the same for Dangal…will c what gone at the tym of raees and fan…and i wonder why fan releasing on 15 april…they can release it on 14 april on holiday…

  • no big deal ……i know it from the start that stupid eros and slb play dirty game by paying the goons to block people from seeing dilwale in theaters and sending massage to people by spreading negativity about the film ….it is really very disgusting behavior ………they suckkkk big time

  • In North america the BM screens,328 and Dilwale screens 268,mean BM has more 60 screens than Dilwale,it will be good the haters should shut their mouth

  • All was in favour of dilwale, songs, star cast, blockbuster jodi, but script could not click with domestic audience, assume if songs were bad, there was only srk and rest are newcomers, and lead heroine was also newcomer but content clicked with audience. Im sure it would become atleast blockbuster. So, as aamir said, content is the real king

  • SRK has been humiliated this time around . he has lost the clash for the first time and look who has defeated him … Raveer sing… more than SRk its his fans who are more humiliated… Sorry SRK but your choice of selecting movie sucks..

  • Srks downfall is all because of fans like us. When he did different genre like ra.one mnik don2. We didnt support him and these dlims were just hit not superhit. Then with c.e he bounced back. But hny and dilwale underperformed. But i think from fan srk will get back classes from raess masses. So hope srk bounce back with a bang.
    Most awaited flim next year most anticipated is on top.
    1.sultan
    2.mohenjadaro
    3.raess
    4.fan
    5.dangal.

  • Releasing bm on 850 screens in overseas
    Is it too less ????
    the collections of bm is cool
    I would have appreciated bm movie
    if Eros hadn’t clashed it with dilwale even
    on 25th December…!!!!
    As long as I live in this planet I will make sure Eros movies enjoy my negativity
    I have not used multiple ids but after this
    will definitely use .

  • Iske pass overseas koi or news nhi di tune 8.5 weekend 13m week and 17m 10 days records malysia Indonesia jordan morroccow gulf pak
    Very sad indicine very sad srf aik news di tumne shame on you

  • BM IS JUST AN OVERRATED FILM!!!I’VE SEEN THE FILM.WAR SCENES R NT GUD AT ALL!!!SONGS NT UP TO THE MARK!!!STORY JUST OK!!!
    RATING: 3*
    WHILE MINE DILWALE RATING IS 2.5*!!

  • srk fans whining about negativity, what you guys did during prdp and bb is so pathetic
    anyway, this clash is overhyped tbh
    nothing new in both movies, it’s just bm is a better film than d. d is a mess and devdas, hddcs, jodhaakbar are way better than bm.

  • @Fan The 00 Zero Crs, luck is with SRK that’s why he was offered films like MNIK, CDI, KKKG, KKHH or any good movie otherwise he was zero he was also part of craps like HNY, Dilwale, CE, Maya Mem Saab and many more.
    And I’m true indian Muslim and I don’t want to see him and his movie anymore. take him and go Pakistan

  • @sss I am die hard srk fan but dont talk shit abt bajirao peshwa….he is pride of maharashtra….just stick with dilwale n clash. …..

  • @Satya Hahaha you banged the nail right on its head. Read it also those twin brothers of joker are predicting downfall for Airlift. Learn from Ranveer who clashed with a current top class leading actor in bollywood with lesser screes than Airlift and not too audience friendly genre maharastan war movie. Unlike big universal Airlift for whole India 2500 screens and clashing with Tushaar kapoor aur abhi se susu? Akshay fans your thinking is very low like your actor that’s why never aim high in collections.

    Honestly speaking bm has better script than DILWALE and alsoore exciting no doubt.but DILWALE never was a bad film nor it’ll be any day.haters say will whatever
    Bro, u r right then why u all are Comparing worst film of Salman (Jai Ho) since 2010 with Dilwale ?
    Kya yahi SRK ki reputation reh gayi hai.? if Dilwale is as good as BB then compare with it. and finally if u all srk fans and indicine saying that if PRDP would had clashed with BM then it would had collected 60 crs less then now I’m removing 50 crs from BB bcz BB is much better than PRDP, the reault is 320-50=270 crs. Now compare it with Dilwale, Best film of SRK struggling to collect 150 crs and Salman Khan’s best film since 2010 would had collected 270 so now 270-150=120 crs Finally Dilwale is half of what BB would had collected. Conclusion : SRK is half of What Salman Khan is Now.
    and plz indicine post this comment.

  • Look @sss – still he is in dream that dilwale is winner – and their dreaming to beat Sultan good let’s happen this clash than you srk fan will see real big defeat

    Too much fun

  • ROFL @SSS!! The dumbest commentator to say the least!! Shoes Cancellation??? Ha ha ha!!! Whose Shoes have been cancelled???? :D

  • Yeah I agree dat this is a great achievement by bm but one should also take into note the ridiculously high no of screens for bm. Dat it got more screens Dan Bajrangi speaks for itself

  • @FAN_THE_500CR,My bro you just snatched the word from my mouth Bravo!!!!!

    remember these are the same illiterte,stupid,mindless,brainless ,idiotic bhojpuri rikshawala who saw masala mahacraps like —-dabang,dabang2,bg,ready,ett,kick,jai ho,prdp.now suddenly these 1 rupee MOVIE watchers turned overnight suddenly classic movie watcher and blamed DILWALE as crap which is far better than all these above written mahacraps.

    At the end of the day,the film which will earn huge that’ll be best for people.and the film which couldn’t be appreciated WI be blamed even that’s good ,Sam ethe case with DILWALE.

    Another thing My Bro,this is the same country where a mindless,logicless movie earned more than 300 cr where was PEOPLE’S class remained at that time?

    Truly speaking REALISTIC CLASSIC film can never earn huge llthat KING KHAN does always —-SWADES,PAHELI,MNIK.though surprisingly CDI did too well.

    At another side you’ll got unrealistic movies(truly MASALA genre)—–rdb,talash,3i,pk,bb etc not only earned much but also got critical acclaimed success.such critics are living in our country.even dumb word is not enough to describe their personality.and some dumb Indians still calling these are classics.pity on their brain IQ level.and most of the people’s IQ level is also that type.

    So bro don’t expect much more from this country’s people.just do entertaining scenes through out the movie an dmade watch them that’s what they deserve.most among of these classless people doesn’t have heart to feel and dying to watch mindless entertaining movies.

    I hope FAN,RAEES will appeal people like REALITY+ENTERTAINMENT(BUT IN A REALISTIC WAY).

    WE too can’t deny DILWALE hasn’t a strong content as well as entertaining.but still DILWALE gave tough fight to an entertaining movie like bm.and among which protest+negativity too played prime role to make the fight easier for bm.

    Though WE’RE not losers.rather WE lost due to conspiracy.that WE have to remember.Still most of sensible persons too are alive in this country WHO is KING KHAN’S FANS.if anyone would have in the ace of KING KHAN ,their film would have flopped badly.THIS IS INDIA’S MPST LOVING STAR,THAT’S WHY HE SURVIVED.

    and non of salmir and other actor’s film till date attacked by relegious/political ruling parties.and films like jai ho and pk blamed by public for a day and everything gonna fine after the next day.and don’t forget these movies also got tax free in some states.

    But for DILWALE,the case was completely different.the ruling party atga led on theatres,even policemen too couldn’t oppose them to left thatre.this was nothing but pre-planned conspiracy.

    And don’t forget this is the same illiterate country where MNIK like films too faced protest +show cancellations in many states.just because this movie ‘s name consists Muslim name as well the movie thought to be a muslim supporting movie.but the same dumb HINDU supporting groups made fun of their RELEGION when they watched and praised pk which insulted HINDU RELEGION and made huge money worldwide due to that.

    Still this country is tolerant!!!!! Still some illiterate peoples or lukkhas like @babaji KA ullu will come and will warn me by showing deshbhakti and will try to advise me which movie is good/bad while his whole life gone after watching only MASALA mindless movies.

    Such type of peoples also exists in India.that’s why I already announced during pk as feeling shame being A HINDU.and now and during MNIK period,feeling shame being an Indian.

    Look the world is laughing towards us.and these oxymorons are feeling pride and completely ignorant of it.

    But THIS CLASH opened THE EYE of KING KHAN.DIAMOND WILL SPARK even more as many time IT will polish hard.

    NOW HIS UPCOMIMG LINE UPS IS FAR BETTER than every star.

    WAITING FOR THE RETURN OF KING KHAN IN NEW AVATAR.

    KING KHAN RULES BOLLYWOOD….
