Dilwale distributors get compensation from Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale performed well overseas, but the film was way below-the-mark at the domestic box office as it finished with lifetime business of Rs 148 crore.

Distributors suffered huge losses as the film was expected to collect more than Rs 250 crore in India. Even in the worst case scenario, not many expected the SRK-Kajol starrer to collect less than Rs 180 – 200 crore.

Now, in what is being seen as an unprecedented move, Shah Rukh has refunded 50% of the losses that distributors suffered over the film.

Only Tamil superstar Rajnikanth, has in the past, refunded distributors when his films have failed to cover the investment of distributors.

Trade analyst Komal Nahta tweeted “Shah Rukh Khan does what few would do. Refunds 50% of the loss of distributors of his Dilwale. That’s what you call a considerate producer!”

Directed by Rohit Shetty, Dilwale released with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani during the lucrative Christmas weekend.

  • He can easily refunds 100% losses as he earns crores by doing MUZRA in wedding parties and streets….king roxxxx..

  • budget of 100 CRORES and film makes 148 CRORES. and u call it non profitable. so I guess from now on u shouldnt compare budget and final collection. but u should track the cost at which distributors have bought the film for.

    so it can now be finally said that dilwale was a bad film and so it did not do well and therefore it flopped and distributers had to suffer losses

  • We also know what happened in case of JAI HO …!

    Only Rajni Sir and Shahrukh are true gems . People shouldn’t compare them with other Crap Khans …!

  • Good Move SRK. Few crores wont affect him, probably richest actor in Asia. But for distributors these few crores matters a lot. #RespectSRK

  • A certain being human made crores of money but didn’t think of refunding the distributors money when his movie didn’t collect even half of what it was expected to collect.
    There’s a difference between a human being and being human

  • @noam .. Hahah nice one. That should be the calculation now onwards. The Semi Hit verdict given to Dilwale is absolutely ridiculous to say the least.
    #Kaali

  • I am very happy with this move of Shahrukh Khan..this is why we all love him and will keep doing so..Our best wishes are with u SRK.. Keep rocking

  • Dil toh sabhi ke paas hota hai lekin sab dilwale nahi hote…SRK sold his office & refunded distributors money during PBDHH .Thats why distributors always trust SRK .

  • Now he Refunds 50% of the loss of distributors of his Dilwale. That’s what u call a considerate producer!!!!
    Also Some Distributors lost money on Paheli & PBDHH too . SRK refunded their money that time too.

  • Dil toh sabhi ke paas hota hai lekin sab dilwale nahi hote..When #VEER became disaster & everyone lost money on it . Salman sued his producer Vijay Galani for not paying his full fees
