Shah Rukh Khan’s marketing strategy for Dilwale

Shah Rukh Khan is said to have planned a 20-day marketing strategy for Dilwale and each phase was meticulously planned by the superstar himself.

Some key points:

1. The plan behind the 20-day marketing strategy was to create a different kind of intrigue among the audience, a source from Red Chillies Entertainment has confirmed.

2. The first look of the film only revealed the basic constituents of the Rohit Shetty directorial. The story was kept a secret.

3. The best song from the album ‘Gerua’ was launched first. It was beautifully picturised in some of the most scenic parts of Iceland. The song also cashed in on the SRK-Kajol pair and over time has won over the audience, especially the older generation. It also highlights the importance of releasing the right song at the right time. If a song like Gerua was launched late, the impact wouldn’t have been as big as it is now. Gerua has already topped music charts and recorded nearly 19 million views on Youtube – about a million more than the Dilwale trailer which has 18 million views.

4. Then came ‘Manma Emotion Jaage’, a song targeted at the youth featuring Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon.

5. ‘Janam Janam’ was released next, highlighting the intensity of the relationship between SRK and Kajol. The song has received a good response, garnering nearly 7 million views in 6 days.

6. Meanwhile, Team Red Chillies kept the audience entertained with the making of the film. First it was ‘Gerua’, which revealed that the song was actually shot in real locations, rubbishing rumours of VFX.

7. Then came yet another masterstroke. A heart warming making video of the action, what with Rohit Shetty getting emotional as he spoke about the effort that his team puts into the action in ‘Dilwale’. Also Read: The heart and hard work behind Rohit Shetty’s terrific action

8. With just about a week to go for the release of the film, Shah Rukh Khan is set to reveal the last part of his promotional strategy tomorrow.

‘Dilwale’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, releases in theatres on December 18.

  • But 2nd weekend which coincides with Christmas onwards content will draw in public to the theatre and not marketing manipulation

  • Dilwale will became All Time blockbuster and without Khan’s Bollywood is nothing even 200cr is difficult for other actors when khan will retire nobady could save bollywood only Hrithik who can save a bit Do what you want to do Dilwale will thrush & Crush Bajirao mastani And will became ATBB India is not yours Nobody will boycott Dilwale. Shahrukh khan is a great actor you don’t know his power he will destroy bajirao mastani He is a clash king..,,

  • To be honest I feel Dilwale’s buzz is’nt that great to crush Bajirao Mastani..SRK has’nt promoted it that well as he is used to promote his films.Also the promos on TV channels are quite lacklustre.Inspite of this it should get a good opening but a lot would depend on the WOM.

    I am waiting for the “Master Stroke” that will be out tomorrow which Srk fans are trending on twitter.

  • Do whatever u want to do
    It is guaranteed that Dilwale will becomes maximum a Hit movie with maximum 150-180 crore lifetime collections

  • Dilwale is a flop. Story secret in rohit shetty movie? haha. They know the story is pathetic so they have kept it secret.
