On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale recorded the 16th highest opening day collections of all time. The collections are exactly the same as Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2 which released during the same weekend in 2012.
Solo release and sequel are the factors that favoured Dabangg 2, while Dilwale had to compete against a big film like Bajirao Mastani. The other difference is that Dilwale releases nearly 3 years after Dabangg 2, tickets are costlier at the moment. Stay tuned to Indicine for a more detailed comparison between Dabangg 2 and Dilwale.
Happy New Year continues to top the list, followed by Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – the only two movies to record 40 crore plus collections on a single day.
At Number 3 we have the highest non-holiday opening of all time in Dhoom 3.

@10:22pm
Lol I know
PS I suggested comparing the crappy 2011 release with 2015 crappy release of same actor but I must have sounded insane to them as they blocked that comment…!
Lets just compate U-Turnwale with TMK and make all of Queens fans super happy that this is 1 christmas comparison Queen wins hands down…!
Lol
My 10:44pm comment has had the ‘deshdrohi’ word removed before ‘khan’ but everytime bhai gets called ‘criminal khan’ we never get that luxury of Indicine doing us that small courtesy of slowly correcting someones false opinion of bhai…!
@Navin, What’s with this Deshdrohi thing? Salman was cleared by the court, so criminal will no longer be allowed. If it does slip through, please let us know. Thanks.
Openning Day n weekned records belongs to SRK, only need life record which will comming soon
Collections are absolutely Disustrous till now (no hope for improvement too) considering multistarcast+ super successful director…
Dilwale was to collect around 80cr in weekend in worst case scenario according to #indicine. But it gonna collect only 60cr in weekend. Is it the superstardom of SRK?
Some of his fans predicted 60cr opening day for Dilwale. But right now that figure looks difficult to achieve even in full weekend… Hahaha.
@Rajesh Kulkarni, shut up. I was the one who bashed KKHH when it was declared to be releasing against Airlift because to me, KKHH will spoil the spirit of Airlift.
I dont bash Akki normally unless fans like Sunny and Babaji bash Salman. In fact, I supported SIB big time. Go and check.
Keep your opinion in you and sucking boots of your fellows Ram Lal’s fans.
Varun alone can give 15cr+ opening day (eg-Abcd2). Varunwale has collected only 21cr on day1. SRK’s presence has added only 6cr to its total… Hahaha.
Dilwale’s disastrous collections clearly indicates that srk is nothing without Deepika, even with the help of multistarcast + Rohit shetty…
SRK fans have started giving excuses like Dilwale is under performing due to bhakts’ protest, clash, negativities created by Bhai fans and blah.. blah.. blah…
These all are the same people who predicted 60cr opening day, 400cr lifetime of varunwale despite knowing all the facts….HYPOCRISY!!!
@ Indicine : Pls update on the international box office collections of the two movies.
@ navin lol I have right said from bottom of my hurt . U have started bash to akki sir then @ babaji @ sunny sarted bashing to salman . @ navin I have also said before somedays I won’t say Salman is criminal because court has given verdict of salman case . but @indicine has not published my comment . This time they will also won’t post my comment .
Deepika revived srk’s career with CE & HNY. But SRK forgot/underestimated Deepika’s power and dare to clash with her Bajirao mastani…. Abb Bhukton….!!!
#indicine has predicted 25cr opening day for varunwale. Varunwale is not gonna touch that figure even on Sunday. Doob Marne Waali Sharm ki Baat for queen & his fans!!!
@Indicine, good approach! But they stop calling Bhai a criminal for no reason or you take action against the usage of Criminal, they we’ll try to stop using Deshdrohi thing.
By the way, going by your logic, all these time, you have allowed SRK fans to call Salman a criminal because he was not cleared by the court. Now as Salman has been acquitted by the court, nobody can call him criminal.
But since we are awaiting SRK to be tried not only Indian courts but also on Intl War Crimes Tribunal for his links with…… Can we reserve the right to call him one D until and unless he is tried and cleared by the court? Lol! :D
@Anand, Salman was convicted by lower court and then acquitted by High Court. According to law, a person is a criminal when he is convicted, declared innocent when he is acquitted. Let’s end it at that. Please try and avoid name-calling. Thanks.
@Paras the main lead in intolerance story is Amir Khan who say what i said is tottaly right now we see how his film do bussnes
Combine screens of Dilwale & BM over 5000.
Average occupancy of Sunday around 85-90%.
Ticket prices are higher than HNY.
Total collections- 41-42cr.
The question is how did HNY collect 45cr on opening day with lower ticket price, same kind of occupancy and 1000 lesser screens???
Lol no correction uptil now? Real trade figure of CE is behind Singham returns and
ETT.
(annie)never say my country india intolorent.
@Damn you idiot, it was srk who said about intilerence first. At least aamir is man if his own words unlike coward, fattoo srk who made a u turn on his own statement. So shyt your mouth. Dangal will surely shatter all records because it has the biggest megastar aamir khan unlike a struggling over actor srk whose film is all set to be a big doom. LOL. Apni aukaat me reh.
@rajesh:
See thousands of srk fans are helpless in front of us. Just imagine what will happen to you can f we do the same for Akki. So give these knowledge to Akki fans not us…
Srk is the best
