Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, for the first time, spoke about the box office performance of his Christmas release, Dilwale. The actor said, the domestic collections of the film were disappointing for him, but stated that he was ‘thrilled’ with how the film has performed overseas.
“I don’t think the film has done as well as it should have. I am personally disappointed with that” Shah Rukh said.
“To be honest, it has perhaps not done as well in India as I would like it to do. But overseas it has done very well in a lot of countries like Germany, Austria. It is quite thrilling that Indian films are reaching far and wide. There is a lot of business opportunities” he said.
In a box office clash, which was touted to be one-sided before release, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani surpassed Dilwale at the domestic box office. However, the Rohit Shetty directed film became one of the Top 5 highest grossers of all time in the overseas markets.
Kismat badi kutti cheez hai .. kabhi bhi palat jaati hai..
SRK is now S-haar-K
You will be more disappointed like never before if you don’t avert clash with Sultan!!!
Only Sultan this Eid.
SRK will bounce back this year. Raees and Fan are looking very intresting and hope they do well. #SRKFanforLife
And People are also Disappointed after Watching Dilwale :)
Yes disappointment in domestic market but great success in overseas. SRK must chose better scripts in future. Hoping FAN proves to be a delightful experience.
whatever the collections were it was a nice entertaining movie..good job shahrukh
junk movie… indians oversees simply go gaga over srk…
If both Dilwale v/s BM clash happen on 25th dec on the above hurdle instade 25th then the story would be different the main fact is Dilwale failed to get holiday advantage
Yes, even for your fans, collections are disappointing.
But still we are proud that collection of your under-performing movie is better than other’s best performance in India and Overseas.
Also, you have been defeated by a better (critically acclaimed) movie, so no worries.
We fans are gearing up for FAN and Raees and hope, both these movies succeed at box-offce, both economically as well as critically.
I have a feeling that if raees and sultan clashes then raees will win.
Dilwale FF>BM
Dilwale OS>BM
Dilwale WW>BM
BM Budget>Dilwale
BM domestic>Dilwale
Dilwale profit>BM
Here BM is winner but Dilwale is Bazigar
Yes we were disappointed, but nevertheless we are awaiting 2 terrific movies for you SRK sir, waiting for you to walk away with another Black lady next year and break Dilip saab’s record for most number of Filmfare awards.
#GreatestEver King of Bollywood.

The irony is Bhaitards calling Dilwale crap, coming from fans of an actor who has acted in movies like Bodyguard, Ready, Jai Ho, PRDP, Dabangg 2 & not to forget innumerable craps pre 2009 like Main aur Mrs Khanna, God Tussi Great Ho, Khoon Ki, Marigold etc just to name a few … ?????

Dilwale has emerged the biggest Shahrukh Khan grosser in Overseas beating the figures of My Name Is Khan which did release in more markets that Dilwale. The top ten Shahrukh Khan grossers in overseas are as follows..
1. Dilwale (2014)- $23.30 million
2. My Name Is Khan (2010) – $22.80 million
3. Chennai Express (2013)- $19.39 million
4. Happy New Year – $17.12 million
5. Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) – $13.23 million
6. Don 2 (2011) – $11.20 million
7. Ra. One (2011) – $10.85 million
8. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006) – $10.56 million
9. Om Shanti Om (2007) – $10.15 million
10. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) – $8.90 million
The film is coming to the end of its run now in most markets though a $175,000 opening weekend in Germany helped add to the total this weekend. Shahrukh Khan now has 9 films over $10 million which is almost half of the $10 million plus films.
ohh so indian films r reaching so beyond boundries… lolz
most movie watching overseas r indian..or asian origin n collection looks big due to currency diffrence.
if u wana marvel at overseas business then u should see PK n Dhoom 3 in china. its pure chinese following ace amir commandimg there.
aftr 3idiots n D3 pk opened big n big chinese stars dubbed for the film.
Thrilld with overseas performce
Thanks to yrf-dharma and heavy self promotional activities
@sultana Yes ! & the ultimate truth is that Bhai would never win a Filmfare in his lifetime ???
Cry baby Cry !
Filmfare nominations are decided on popularity basis, Go to Filmafare’s website and check it for yourself, you can vote for ‘any’ actor, the 5-6 actors with most votes are shortlisted in the nominations for the jury to chose amongst them, its a mix of popularity and jury, but fools like you would keep barking without knowing facts.
Cant expect more from a bhaitard.

The correct D word to descibe U-Turnwales crappy collections are Devastating as distributors will soon become bhikharis…!
stars like salman and srk accept their failures.
One person is busy on twitter calling wazir a blockbuster.
I think u can guess
He knows that his reign of terror at The Maratha Mandir came crushing down this Christmas but he carefully switched attention to overseas to cover up his donestic demise..! Smart boy
He mentioned business opportunities bcoz nowadays he is a greedy businessman who is happy to extort large sums from distributirs n then watch gleefully as 1 by 1 they all become bankrupt…!
There is one
Sharukh khan.
Others r also awesome
But u r special.
Those who chose their idols according 2 BO no s r not going 2 understand d love for SRK.
After 25 years still he is d bloody best.
We r waiting for #Fan.
Aur hamesha apka hi Fan rahunga.
We r not love Srk we worship him.
The only reasons why collections are not good:
1. A pathetic movie, negative WOM
2. Ppl had the option to watch a better movie i.e BM.
Excuses such as protests, bans, srk comments etc. are just petty excuses from disheartened and egoistic fans.
I can guarantee one thing, if Dangal turns out to be a classic, no protest or ban or negativity can stop it from bcoming ATBB and ATHG.
Learn to appreciate your loss, SRKians.
Right sir, We@srkian also very disappointed. Shows cancellation and negativity made the movie suffered a lot. Overseas collection are extraordinary because people in there are sane and honest unlike here.
I am very excited about FAN I think this will be the first srk movie to enter Oscar awards and eventually can win that about commercial success mark my word or file acase against me if I’m wrong #FAN will be 1st 360cr movie in India and 1st300cr movie in oversees
Though my last prediction di Dlwle was340cr in India and 250 CR overseas just got missed by a all small margin
Where as salman a non actor 322 CR and 215 CR PRDP is given consistently how he is non actor he is criminal he don’t have awards but he has more BLOCKBUSTER and HGOTY how ???
Ha Ha Ha
Even SRK was thrilled that how the film performing in overseas lol
Honestly speaking A superstar who’s fans calling him King Giving such statements is just a shame Even after Jai ho and Tallash Salman and Aamir don’t told such thing its Srk who always thinks about money is proved.
Honestly speaking Dilwale was not though Bad film its typical Bollywood film .But film was underperformed Due to Intolerance statements and Clash by loss of 45% in weekend .But still if we neglected that thing Dilwale should have earned atmost 230cr So Definitely for EARNING you need good film to work like and bit of Stardom .Examples like BM because Ranveer Singh has no comparison with srk even Varun has edge over him .A bigger superstar only for Opening only .
Srk now way behind All stars.
Salmnan and aamir giving 300cr films but dilwale is not even half of BB and Pkg.
Even Stars like Hritik 244cr krrish 3 ahead of SRK .And if Bajiroa masatni release Solo it should earning upto 230cr which is more than CE .
In future projects of SRK it has Bad line as commercially concerned Fan & Raees should surprise nearly 175cr and 240cr will be Blockbuster due to low budget .But Aalia Bhatt film was even Dangerous looking Weird film than Fan .But iam backing to Anand L Rai because as a director he is improving very well .But Problem is will Srk accept it .
Sir, your upcoming movie FAN has a big chance to singing in Oscar.
Many people are jealous of you and your success. They cannot see you rise and bright.
