Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale has shown a bigger than expected decline at the domestic box office on Monday. For the first time, the film has dropped below the collections of the other release last weekend, Bajirao Mastani.
In previous clashes, Om Shanti Om was always ahead of Saawariya and Jaan-e-Mann never managed to beat Don. In 2012, Son Of Sardaar did manage to beat Jab Tak Hai Jaan, but it was only on the 7th day i.e after the holiday period was over. Also, both films received a mixed response. (Also read: Jab Tak Hai Jaan vs Son of Sardaar)
In the current clash between Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale, the former has managed to overtake the later on the 4th day itself and the holiday period is yet to begin. The other factor in favour of Bajirao Mastani is the reports that it’s carrying – even on social media, celebrities have gone all out to praise the film. The trade for some reason, is not backing the SRK film this time around.
From the paying public point of view; until now, during most festival seasons, they had only one choice. It’s either a Khan movie or nothing at all. This time around, there was a Rohit Shetty entertainer, a timepass film against a Sanjay Leela Bhansali historical masterpiece that everyone seems to be liking and appreciating.
Star value and fan wars aside, for the normal moviegoer who has to spend upwards of 400 rupees per multiplex ticket, the choice was obvious.
The big task for Dilwale is to hold strongly in the next 2 days. It’s from Thursday evening that the holiday season will begin and if Dilwale has to take advantage of the big Christmas holiday, it has to boost the confidence of exhibitors by showing no more than 10% drops in the next couple of days.
The film is still performing well in a few circuits, especially at mass centres. The footfalls of Dilwale on Monday was more than Bajirao Mastani, but the places where it’s performing well, the ticket prices are on the lower side. The bigger centres have shown alarming drops and it’s here where Bajirao Mastani has taken the lead.
Yes, there are a few shows that have been cancelled, others have been disrupted. SRK has also said that the family audience is scared to come to theatres. All this is true, but the fact remains – things have only improved in the last few days, which in other words also means the hold on Monday should have been better than it was.

Dilwale , 1st Sunday- 24 cr (2800 screens + controversy ) , PRDP , 1st Sunday- 25 cr (5000+ screens) , SRK >>>>>>>>>> SALMAN. Dilwale is undoubtely performing better than prdp. so salman fans shouldn’t compare prdp with Dilwale.. Prdp wouldn’t cross 100cr with clash and controversy.. forget about overseas where Dilwale has made highest ever opening and becomes highest opening weekend in overseas despite with clash and less screens too…
Worldwide weekend:
BB: 187cr (5200 screens)
PRDP: 185cr (5350 screens)
Dilwale: 150cr (3500 screens)
Dilwale is having better screen avg.

There is a reason for trade and other celebrities not to support Dilwale as they are making ground for themselves.
The way , SRK conquered 18th Dec despite of knowing, a big budget film is already scheduled for the same date and the way , he is planning to take on Sulatn next Eid, others are thinking that it might happen with them too.
So they are ganging against SRK in order to put his morale down so that next time, he thinks before going ahead for a CLASH.
Srk’s Dilwale crushed by Ranveer’s BM.
@Indicine- One thing i appreciate that you accept ur mistake (read PK tweet and Dilwale- BM clash prediction). keep up the good work.
SRK fans- Dilwale lost cos of XYZ reason.
SRK non fans- Ranveer defeated SRK
Its not abt SRK, SLB or Ranveer, its about better cinema and why it must be appreciated. Since Blockbuster success of Ghajini, Wanted and Dabangg, there have been so many mindless masala potboilers destroyed our sense of entertainment.
Actor, Star, Superstar were only worried about making a potpourie ‘something for everyone’ crap but what no one realised that audience is really tired of regular churn of the mill stuff.
Writing was there on the wall post HNY that this genre has lost its sheen. Salman understood it and immediately shifted to family genre. Aamir understood it and followed D3 with a social satire PK. Akki is learning it the hard way. SRK has good movies lined up in 2016.
Let the era of good movies begin..
Wasn’t SRK considered as the king of classes and masses were supposed to be Salman’s forte.
Now, even SRK needs the support of masses to keep this film afloat.
For all SRK fans, who derided Salman as king of masses, auto rickshaws, bhojpuri blah blah blah… they are the ones who are still responsible for Dilwale to be floating around. Else, dilwale doob ke bahut time hochuka hoga.
One thing for SRK fans – Never under estimate the power of masses.
As I predicted earlier Bajirao mastani is lead Dilwale from Monday onwards. Trends suggest Bajirao mastani lifetime collections will be more than Dilwale.
SRK with clash >>>>> Salman without EID & Aamir without Raju Hirani ?
Stardom fails, ego destroyed, srk failed despite of having 2 actors, 2 heroine, superhit songs of superhit singers, top director, favourable genre, top comedians to entertain,almost all thing in his favour…..still haklu is loosing the battle …
chalo aage aao…
those who said to leave indicine wen dilwale loose.
big tall claims.cm on cowards say sry to ranvir SLB n PC.
accept srk without deepika is nothing.
accept it was a fluke chennai express u survived all these yrs.
SRK IS NT SALMAN THT HIS BAD FILMS WILL SUSTAIN JUST CAUSE OF SHEER FOLLOWING IN MASSES.
media created star no place fr u in 2016.
BM monday > Dilwale monday
RIP srk stardom
SRK FANS DONT BE SAD, FAN-THE CONTENT ENTERTAINMENT COMING SOON AND I HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT SULTAN WILL POSTPONE SO ONLY RAEES ON EID 2016
for the first time they manipulated the collections.
acc. to BOI — 9.5cr
they don’t want to lose soon.
Disaster. BM lifetime will be more than Dilwale.
The opening of Dilwale was only Good whereas it had to be bumper/excellent..Question will be raised on Shahrukh Khan’s star power..except for chennai express none of his films have been a major grosser or a blockbuster this decade..where is the old SRK that we all loved to death? Where is the old SRK that we trusted blindly? Where is the old SRK who’s performance alone would rise beyond even a master class script? Dilwale was his biggest film of this decade and will turn out to be the biggest disappointment too..
Never ever try to use ur power to destroy any body if you have the power try to save than God will save you
I think vansali first declared his dream project to release in 18th December than srk came & targeted the same day
Srk thought Salman reached 300 cr amir already there I have to reach there vansali should be scared & postpone his release date
Vansali has the faith with his script he thought srk is a nice human he also worked with me he may give me the chance to recover the cost as it is huge because the lead is a youngster
But Srk let the movie clash with my movie & movie will not sustain against me and after the 1st week I’m going to get more screen & can make a huge profit
Dear srk remember one thing God always on right side he never allows evil to win u r the evil in this battle & u got the reward for it
I have never seen such a 3rd class person for own benefit who is trying to destroy another thank God finally the hero won the battle & villain lost
Hmm.. Feel bad for SRKajol. The epic couple deserves much more. Hope it’ll improve over the next few days.
Indicine, had there been no clash what would’ve happened to Dilwale?
Now will BM gross more than Dilwale?
What will be the final estimated gross for both movies?
srk u r over..pls go home and romance with ur wife..now rs also surprassing u dude..hahahaha..i am very much happy..its party time..
Aaj se manipulate suru… Lol…! Now they are using Lal Mirchi calculator..!
Multistarcast, super successful director, hit music, lots of free publicity & sympathy due Bhakts protest. Still collections are very poor. Big question mark on srk’s stardom!!!
No, If Bajirao would had come solo, it couldn’t do more than 100cr…
Here Benifit Of Clash against King.
This shows that stardom works for only first 3 days, after that word of mouth comes in picture
ranvir 5 yr old in bollywood took less than 5 days to bring down so called king of bollywood.
feeling sad fr varun. his good going carrier faces humiliation.
RANVIR NOW 1 STAR OF HIS GENERATION.
Dilwale is a flop. BM rocks amazing movie.
Bajirao Mastani collected more than Dilwale in Sunday & Monday in USA & Canada. It is not facing any protest in North America, so the biggest reason is obviously WOM. Bajirao Mastani also had higher occupancy than Dilwale in last 2 days in India and North America.
After seeing disustrous collections of Dilwale one question come to everyone’s mind… Will it go past even Kangna’s TWMR’s lifetime collections??? Forget 200cr!!!!
After wednesday Dilwale Will Bounce Back B’coz of Festivels.
Kitna excuse bnaoge indicine wo bi iss dilwale ke liye?
Just say stardom fails infront of content of film.. This show that srk still lacks stardom and he will fall if he doesnt make a content film .
world wide super hit and win over baji for sue
