Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale has picked up at the box office noon onwards on Friday, recording occupancy as high as 80 – 85% in circuits like Mysore and West Bengal. The business even at the rain-affected Chennai is extraordinary – most shows of the film are sold out for the day.
As far as Day 1 is concerned, except the state of Maharashtra, there simply hasn’t been any contest. Dilwale is leading by a distance, both at multiplexes and single-screens all over the country.
The reports coming in for Dilwale are good, response from critics has been mixed (Check out Dilwale Critics Review page).
The film is now looking at a 20 crore plus total, which is excellent considering the fact that it lost about 40% of its shows at multiplexes due to the release of Bajirao Mastani. Both films have lost a huge chunk of business on Day 1 itself and Dilwale with a solo release would have challenged the highest non-holiday opening of Dhoom 3. Bajirao Mastani would have probably collected around 10% more than Bhansali’s last film Ram Leela – which collected Rs 15.73 crore on Day 1. The collections of Bajirao Mastani are set to be lower.
It remains to be seen if both films can recover the losses incurred on Day 1. The trend over the weekend will decide if Dilwale can go on to be a huge grosser and if Bajirao Mastani can recover its costs.
The only major beneficiary of the clash today has been Indicine. We have recorded our highest single day, with nearly 9 lakhs visitors today - 4-5 times more traffic from what we usually get in a day. With 3 hours to go before the day ends, we are set to hit the 10 lakh visitor mark for the first time.
Indicine , Any updates on booking for the next two days? Any deduction or increase in screens/shows of both the movies?

I predicted 21.5cr yesterday, the way things are going iam beating indicine.
Dilwale is Definitely the entertainer of the year hands Down.. . not a single dull moment.. Full on entertainment Guaranteed. .
Waayyy waaaaay waaaaaaaaay Better than any other commercial flick.. Its has SRK written all over it.. Lots n lots of heartwarming emotional Stuff + Action +Romance..
SRK-Kajol make u fall in love all over again n demonstrate that some love stories never End..
SRK is in his Top notch form as always.. The Coooooooolest Gud Guy who turns bad at one instant n transforms into gud the other instant with Such an ease.. Simply brilliant..
Kajol rocks with her presence.. Definitely one of the Besttttttttttt roles of her .. EVERRRRRRRR!! SHE’LL definitely TAKE YOU BY A SURPRISE.. A PLEASANT ONE..
Varun is a revelation.. he proves WHy he was the perfect choice for the Movie.. He’s the next Big thing for sure.. Flawlessly Fab.. His scenes with SRK n Kriti r the backbone of the movie.. Definitely a career defining role that does justice to his talent..
Kriti is Such a treat to watch. . she’s definitely among the Besttttttttttt newcomers.. She shines brightly..
Among the supporting cast.. Varun Sharma Mukesh Tiwari n Johny lever shine the brightest.. Even others Have a Lottttt to offer..
Technically the film is Brilliant.. Its not another Rohit Shetty film but an SRK starrer in every sense.. The chases action comedy r all praiseworthy.. But the Emotional Quotient will stay with u throughout.. Must must must must must watch.. HIGHLY n STRONGLY RECOMMENDED..
SRK N RED CHILLIES ALONG WITH ROHIT SHETTY N TEAM SHOULD TAKE A BOW FOR presenting THE CLASSIEST ENTERTAINER THATS HIGH ON EQ.
congratzz Indicine…throw a success party now ;-) lol
jokes apart Dilwale is way ahead in terms of BO Collection on 1st Day….have to admit this fact!!
i think It will collect almost 25 cr and it wouls collect almost 35-38 cr or even more if It would have a solo release!! in other side BM wl collect 10-11 cr or even less on It’s first day!!
Watched both movies. My rating would be
BM : 4/5
Dilwale : 0.5/5 stars

Dilwale is good movie but Bajirao Mastani is much better than Dilwale bcoz its new level of romance
First of all Congratulations indicine..But be prepared for 15 lakhs hits too because the ‘mother of all clashes’ is not too far..coming to the article I always believed that 20 crore would be done easily..25 is the target now..and it should get close to it..all I am more interested in knowing is whether Dilwale manages a 30 crore number on Sunday or not?
Wont cross 140 cr. Mark my word

Yay! 2 back-to-back movies in a span of 7 hours. Quite busy day :D
And finally, here is my “experience” of watching Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani.
Before I proceed with this review, I would like to make it clear that I always try to be unbiased in my “Experience” specific comments and PRDP review was a best example for the same or else all know, that I am a known Salman hater. So here too, I will try to be unbiased and if I say something against or favoring Dileale and Bajirao , it should be taken sportingly . Also, this is going to be a bit long , hence those, who are not habitual of long and boring comments, may skip it from here on.
My Dilwale “Experience” :
Mine was FDFS starting at 09:00 am and there was around 75-80% of occupancy in that show which is pretty good considering it was an early morning show and Friday was a working day.
Plot : Dilwale is a story of Love, which revolves around Raj (SRK)- Meera (Kajol) and Veer (Varun) – Ishita (Kriti). There are many twist and turns in the story and there will be lots of hurdles before these two couples finally achieve their love interests. For further details, please head towards nearest theatre .
Dilwale is a typical Bollywood movie which provides a complete package of Romance, Drama, Action, Comedy everything under one frame. It’s a regular story and there is nothing new in it to call it a “trendsetter”. It has many hilarious scenes which will make you laugh out loud. At eh same time, it has few gigantic actions packed scenes which will give you goosebumps .Few scenes are over dramatic and reminds you about the movies of 90s. Specially, the climax scene, when goons beat Varun red and blue and then Kajol shouts her throat out “Kaaaaaliiiiiii……”. Though that was a climax scene, but it brought an smile on my face seeing a 90s types scene in 2015.
Performance : SRK is superb as Raj. He has a bit of romantic side in flash back, but most of the time he looked intense and he has nailed it completely. Flashback part totally belongs to SRK-Kajol and trust me, they have not acted, but they have lived their roles. There is a reason, why people call this pair as the most charismatic pair of all time. The way they exchange glances, stare at each other, pass the smiles, it not only shows the special bonding between these two, but it also shows how their personal understanding has become bigger and better with every passing movie. For me, the best frame of SRK was that scene, where SRK’s minions come and say , “We have found them (those who attacked Varun)”. Just see , the look which SRK gives and the way he walks, once he gets this news. Theatre was echoed with whistles and applauds. Kajol too, did a fair job with both positive and negative side of her character. Kriti didn’t have much too do, but whatever was there in her part, she tried to deliver her best. Coming to Varun, no doubt he is the rising superstar and soon, he will achieve the meg stardom, but honestly speaking ,he has over acted in few scenes. The biggest example is, check the scene when Mukesh Tiwari tells a fake sotry about SRK’s past to Varun and when Varun comes and calls SRK as “Ramlal”. That scene looked too artificial because of Varun’s over acting.
After SRK, if there are show stealers, then they are side artists. Varn, Boman, Johny, Sanjay Mishra , all did a great job. But if I have to chose one among these all, I will go with Sanjay Mishra. He was damn hilarious and all his scenes made audiences burst into laughter.
Music : Dilwale Album is arguably the best album of 2015. Preetam has done justice not only with songs, but also with background score. Every time, when the tuning of “Janam Janam” echoes, it takes you in an entirely different world. The rolling credit song “Tukur Tukur” was perfect at its place and its ends the movie with an energetic note.
Rating : NA (conclude it from my experience).
Conclusion : Dilwale is a typical Rohit Shetty movie. Yes, that’s right. So those, who were claiming it to have many more things into kitty are wrong. It promises you a throughout entertainment in Rohit Shetty Style. So if you love light hearted comedy , then go for Dilwale. It won’t make you bore even for a second. That’s my promise. But if you look for logic and some sincere plots in a movie (or if you are a Raju Hirani/ Asutosh Gowarikar fan), then Dilwale is not for you. Please stay away from it. Dilwale is a perfect one time watch, but it is not something which you will remember for years. Just enjoy it for 2.5 hours and once you are out from theatre, then forget it.
If you ask me to define it in one sentence , “A perfect one time watch but won’t be remembered once it out from theatres like CDI,PK, BB did”.
Public Responce On Dilwale Is Superb ..
All Are Saying That Super Hit, Awsome Really Good ..
Now 260cr And Atbb is Confirmed!
Dilwale was better than Bajirao Mastani.
“The filmmakers have completely distorted the historical facts of the Peshwa era of the early 1700s and has actually portrayed him in an insulting manner. The people of Maharashtra virtually worship the Peshwas so we cannot tolerate what is being depicted in this film,
congrats indicine :P
