Dilwale has collected around Rs 22 crore and Bajirao Mastani has collected around 12 crore on its opening day at the box office, as per estimates based on collections from a few centres and circuits from India. Note: Final collections will be posted in the morning.
The film has performed extraordinarily well in West Bengal, where the first day business is set to be around 5 times more than Bajirao Mastani. Shah Rukh Khan is the king of the Bengal circuit, the advance booking here is excellent for the entire weekend.
The other ‘class’ circuit where SRK’s ‘massy’ films are doing well is Mysore and even other South states like Kerala and Tamilnadu. The collections in some of these South Indian centres are comparable to big films which release on national holidays without any competition.
Dilwale has surpassed Bajirao Mastani in the Gujarat / Saurashtra belt and the gap between the two films is surprising because Sanjay Leela Bhansali films, especially Ram Leela, perform very well in these circuits. The occupancy for the morning shows in Gujarat for Bajirao Mastani came as a huge disappointment, in fact even Dilwale was underperforming, but both films picked up towards the end of the day.
In Maharashtra, both films were neck and neck. Bajirao Mastani was ahead at quite a few centres, while Dilwale was leading at others. It was the only state where the competition was too close to call. In Rajasthan too, Bajirao Mastani was closer than expected.
In Bihar, Assam, C.I, C.P Berar.. it was Dilwale that was leading. At single-screens in general, it was a one horse race with Dilwale dominating and Bajirao Mastani remaining poor throughout the day.
Overall, it was fantastic day for film business for the industry. Remember, it was a non-holiday, so both films are expected to show good growth in business over the weekend.
The big plus for Dilwale is going to be its genre, entertainment value and mass appeal. Bajirao Mastani on the other hand, is not going to surrender like Saawariya did in 2007. The reports are mixed to positive for both films, which is good news for the trade in general.
Hope u people are paid for the overtime.
Dilwale can be huge grosser with mixed wom BM surrendered with mixed wom from Monday onwards everything will clear BM rejected from 1st evening all over India expect West Where Dilwale need to do well in maharastra rajistan where its underperformed
@Rew 1 But your favorite star(even though you come across more as a Bhaitard) also gave a 26 crore opening(2-3 crore more than Dilwale) that too when it had a solo release with more number of screens with the biggest director of the country
@Babaji It’s the same Sambuddha he just posted a Bengali Daily’s review!!
@Hrithik
Well said..
The test starts from monday onwards
I think Sanjay lila bansaili has given his best second best after Guzarish.
Dilwale is below 150cr life time..
At any cost Dilwale lifetime will be 280+
So The picture clear now at first day Dilwale sure short winner nd will b the winner
@Nipun REturns, superb review bro. You summed it really well. Some how getting a feeling in the long run Dilwale will not sustain. Official figure from redchilles will come some where around 27-28 crores or more for sure, master of manipulation.
awesom fig even in clash don’t forget #bb n# pk have just 26 on same scenario with 4000+ screens n dilwale solo could hav done 30+ even on non-holiday don’t talk abt depika she is nowhere compared to king don’t know how well can dilwale last BT 1thing is sure bajiroa too won’t sustain as it is also not upto the mark better go n watch jodha Akbar to get real taste of historic pic n if u want war film 300 Hercule n ofcourse baahubali r ther enjoy
According to public review Dilwale is 10times better than CE n 2times better than OSO best commercial film of SRK after Mai Hoo Na don’t judge a films LT with openning otherwise both HNY n PRDP cross 200cr with a positive wom from Youth n Famali Dilwale will break records my hearts says it
Quick review: dilwale – yet another entertaining masala film.. had more expectations thgh coz it was a movie of 1 of the 3 legendary khans! One time watch!
Bajirao : yet another brilliant film of the year after bahubali n bajrangi!! Only songs not good!! A very satisfying watch for mature audience!!
Dilwale: wld earn somewhr about 200!! Reason srk!
Bajirao: 100 cr or 100 cr+ not sure!! More coz of the movie n all actors n less coz of the genre n a lesser family film!!
@mruganka did you watch Dilwale or if you don’t like rohit shetty films then okk but Dilwale is the best film of rohit shetty carear n you know very well how rohit shetty films sustain than other director
Now let’s be purely honest & brutally frank, when there is srk there would definitely be some manipulation so the official collections using the lal mirchi’s super calculator for ‘????????wale ‘ could be in the 25-28 crores range or may be even 30+ crores if rani, Rohit & their fans do the manipulated calculations together, so guys from now itself let us rename this movie as ‘manipulation wale’ :D :D
Watchd bajirao really boring film…slb tried to copy bahubali but ended up coping rudhramadevi lol….on othr hand dilwale is super awesome do watch dilwale
Dilwale is a FLOP!!!
Again bhai fans proved them how dumb they are … They are compairing Bajrangi bhaijaan’s opening day with dilwale .. Seriously?
BB collected 27 cr. In 4400 screen
Dilwale collected 22 cr. In 2800 screen clash
in BB was in the same position in dilwale it will score below 15 cr. 1st day
also PRDP failed to cross 2 years ago chennai express’s collection which was also in clash ….
Don’t take proud of Bajrangi bhaijaan’s collection .. Kabir khan story saves salman’s a**
otherwise it will be another flop like crap ratan flop payo
today i watched dilwale with my friend and my elder brother how is slman khan fan ….. after watching my bro ask me after a long time srk give a master piece …………..mean hater are also like this one so i gruntey 260++++++++++++
Dilwale 1st day -23.5 crs
bajirao mastani 1st day- 11.25 crs
Bajirao mastani is a far better film than dilwale so it will rock more in the future day n have a longer lifetime business n more praises r coming for BM n specially Priyanka n ranveer performance are top notch simply wow
@ferdbouk goodevening mrs.inducing,through the day I watched a lot ,Dilwale Day was fantastic,compare with BM,for sure everyone actor &actress made hard work to made smile on face of audience give them pleasure,So I see Dilwale will be blockbuster on box office through coming days,movie 2015,one of my relative in Dubai watched Dilwale astonished outstanding expected that king of act king SRK best actor 2015, i wish many successfully for both movies,thanks to give us space to write our comments journalist fery dbouk from Lebanon tribute to beautiful arts and great civilization of India
@Rew1, please come up with something new we r really tired of the same old comments by haters.
@Ali Khan, bahubhali became The bahubali after the release .Nobody even thought it will give bb a competition before release.
Ha ha ha ha so called P.K’s non holiday without any clash from north to south collected only 25cr….Now dilwale with clash from SLB’s dream project, Dhanush’s Thangamagan in south and tight competition from malayalam movies…still dilwale collected 22cr on its opening day….Now haters will some excuses…
If dilwale cross even 160 crs.I will leave indicine.worst movie of all time.
As per Boi and producer dilwale’s opeing is 22cr (early estimates)
I am from Multan Pakistan
Bajirao mastani is a boring film 30 peoples are in the cinema but Dilwale house full awesome movie.
Wow…!!! 22 cr opening day with just 2750 screens ….that’s huge…
Last year PK collected 27 cr with huge 4200 screens and thereafter went on to be the biggest grosser..but the WOM of PK was too good..Dilwale needs that kind of WOM.
why u r mentioning Kolkata n mysore always in ur article.if u want to report give roport for all 28 states.don’t try to degrade bm all the time.bm is giving tough fight even after getting lesser screens n dis is a big achievement for bm team.
dilwale has got mixed response but bm has got vry positive response so guyz wait 4 d 1st monday collection, dilwale wont cross 150 cr its my guarentee, but bm will have 130 cr
Now 200 cr out of reach to Dilwale …. BM has crushed its share n BM
Will surely collect 100 cr !!!
I predicted 22.2 crs
