Dilwale Day 1 (Friday) Box Office Collection Update

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.

  • “Dilwale is the kind of movie, after watching which, you’ll proceed immediately to the ticket window to book your tickets for the next show, “It has larger-than-life heroism, high-pitched drama, clap-trap and fiery dialogue, gravity-defying action, and mass appealing humour..

    Very classy opening of the movie…

    SRK Introduction Whistle & Claps…

    Varun Dhawan’s entry CLAP WORTHY…

    Shah Rukh Khan in as NEVER BEFORE ! The action is AWESOME…

    You will get to see two completely different avatars of the King Khan and that’s just tooooo awesome…

    Gerua on the big screen. Whistles in the audi , the song looks SPECTACULAR…

    Whistles as Janam Janam plays, Really SRK-Kajol are evergreen…

    Kajol has really out done herself in the movie Brilliant performance…

    The emotional scene which Varun Dhawan spoke about lived up to the expectation, and how…

    Dilwale has BLOCKBUSTER written all over it. A full on family entertainer with something of everything! We can’t wait to watch it again…

  • Dilwale >>>>> Bajirao Mastani

    Don’t believe in paid tv serial actors. Tomorrow you’ll know the truth.
    Bash us if we are wrong. Unbiased

  • Can’t believe it is getting more positive reviews than bajirao mastani check IMDB Rating Rohit Shetty rocks
    Dilwale 6.7/10 with 3300 users while BM 6.3/10 with 1300 users. This is something even SLB would never have been thought in his dream aslo. ATBB on the way 275Cr-300Cr Inshallah

  • It has released in 3000 screens .
    Let’s c whether it can surpass 20.67 cr first day of Singh is bliing Which also released in 3000 screens nd lost some shows due to clashes ,also it was affected from A big t20 match …..! Indicine over hyping dilwale opening.

    One more thing f it had released solo also ,no chance of it challenging dhoom 3 . It’s A FACT .

  • SRK fans: Aamir’s movies are ATBB bcz he releases them in Dec.
    Aamir: This year I’m leaving Dec for SRK. ATBB la ke dikhao.

  • Till now imbd rating

    Dilwale= 6.8/10
    Bajirao mastani= 6.3/10

    being masala entertainer dilwale is getting good reviews.
    Usually historical movie gets excellent reviews.
    But bajirao mastani is getting poor reviews from critics n poor rating from viewers considering the gener of movie. Although both movie gets average rating.

    My brother told me bajirao mastani is very boring movie and it is nothing comparing with bahubali. So i am going to watch dilwale tomorrow.

  • im not worry abt todays collection of dilwale i know it will take huge growth in upcoming days as wom are extraordinary…i have to many people abt who have watched dilwale they give positive responses..

  • SLB must realise his fault after this release. Now onwards he never ever dream to clash against him. Thats all

  • lol

  • Reports are coming that #Dilwale is so much torture that now You will feel movie Bombay velvet was Sholay compared to this. Narayan Narayan.KRK

  • How cheap have we become. How low are we thinking. I really don’t understand how can someone become Muslim and Hindu by choice of a movie? Please stop this, these feelings are going to impact our nation’s next generation.
    I am here at AMC Southfield, MI, USA, watching Dilwale spending $22 and this is my personal choice as I feel cinema is for entertainment.
    BM must be a artistic beauty or some real good message oriented movie but I feel Dilwale is entertaining and I am watching it.

  • Its obvious because srk is brand,even there is huge negativity faced by srk due to his so called intolerance statement

  • My Bajirao “Experience” :

    Came out from theatre at 11:40 am. Reached the ticket counter at 11:45 am to get the tickets for Bajirao 12:00 pm show (as I didn’t book it in advance). Was worried if I will get one, but to my surprise, I got second last row from back (just 15 minutes from the beginning of movie). This shows the occupancy level of BM. 12:00 pm show of Bajirao was having 35-40% occupancy.
    Plot : Bajirao Mastani is a story of Maratha warrior “Peshwa Bajirao” who fallen in love with a princess (of Bundelkhand) called “Msatani. How their own society goes against their love story, Bhansali tried to portray the same on big screen.
    Bhansali is no doubt , one of the biggest directors when it comes to make grand movies. And Bajirao is another installment of the same. When movie started, I was in awe for first twenty minutes and I thought I am going to watch one of the best movie of recent times. The way, Ranveer breaks the target showing his Shastra Gyan and the way he speaks about his strategies to conquer Delhi (showing his Shaastra Gyan gives goosebumps). In fact , when Deepika barges into Ranveer’s mansion for help and when Ranveer offers a support to her and fights on the behalf of Bundelkhand, each frame looked a masterpiece . But sooner, all my excitement went into vein because of the slow pace of movie. “Mohe Rang do Laal” , what was the need of this boring song at that place? Other songs, too, were misplaced making the movie slow. Fact is, Bhasnali and Team had promoted it as a “Love story of a warrior”, but trust me, the love story was proven to be the weakest part of this movie. The time, this love story enters into the movie, it becomes quite slow and boring. Thanks to last 20 minutes, which saved it from being a completely boring movie like PRDP. First and last 20 minutes of Bajirao are masterpiece and the heart of the movie. Whereas you won’t find much in between.
    Performance : They have overrated Deepika. For me, real show stealer was Priyanka. The emotional scenes, innocent scenes , all she has done superbly amazing. In fact, her steps are far better than Deepika in Pinga song. Another shocking surprise for me was Ranveer singh. Sorry Ranveer fans (if there are any), I kept on calling him as monkey (as he left such impression on my mind with his past movies), but he has done a superb job in Bajirao. Just see the scenes , when he is surrounded by enemies (in Bundelkhand war). His body language looked like a real warrior. Also, at the end, when he starts getting nightmares inside the sea, there, his performance is splendid.
    Music : Music of BM is strictly average . Only one song is something you can call “good” and that is title track itself.
    Rating : NA (Conclude from my experience) .
    Conclusion : If you are a fan of Ranveer singh/Deepika Padukone/Priyanka Chopra, please go for it. If you love watching historical recreations, hurry up and book your tickets. But if you are expecting a masterpiece (as claimed by the makers) , then stay away from it. Forget Jodha Akbar and Bahubali, it is not even close to Ram-Leela both in intensity,plot and story . I don’t know how deepika made such claim, that you will be in awe with this movie. Bajirao is one of the most anticipated movie of the year (in terms of content) but unfortunately it doesn’t promise the same i.e. content. A disappointment from Bhansali.

  • Congratulation Indicine..

    anyways, I was expecting huge no. of shows and screens despite with clash for Dilwale but that’s couldn’t happen since Bajirao Mastani is a very big film too. it is good figure for first day with clash + non holiday.. the main thing will be that how it will sustain that’s what we have yet to see it..

    Though WOM looks good. so hopefully it will sustain well..

    Will give my review for both films after watching BM too..

  • Congratulations to Indicine
    and a very Big Congratulations to Dilwale.
    While Ad earnings of Indicine will have been bumper today as well
    But Dilwale is creating its own history and i think after watching the movie and looking at my response and public response from all ages the movie will rule for atleast coming 3 weeks. where in 1st week will only contribute 50% or less to over all lifetime of Dilwale.
