  • if mental slb and stupid eros released their crap on some other dates
    then it would collect much much more ….
    doesn’t make sense they make movie to make profit or suffer losses !!!!
    what a strange brains !!!!
    i pray that eros and slb will be put in the most regrettable situation ever !!!!!!!
    one thing which grieves me more is that srk has not booked max ss all over india !!!!
    srk should have made eros and slb suffer badly !!!!!!!!

    rohit shetties second
    kajol srk frst flop
    for srk another average grosser.

    Ranveer-Deepika.. Hit Jodi..Ram Leela
    SLB .. Hit Director .. Ram Leela
    Ranveer .. Hit Actor .. DDD
    Deepika .. Hit Actress. . Piku
    Priyanka .. Hit Actress. . DDD

    BIGGEST FILM AGAINST BIGGEST FILM , So no one less from each other

    At the time of BANG BANG ! vs Haider ;

    KHANs fans spread their unnecessary & unconditional love towards Haider and barks HRITHIK and BANG BANG ! , So that Khans records will remain save from HRITHIK & BANG BANG !

    Salman fans bark Hrithik & Bang Bang ! Because they don’t want that KICK (233 Cr) collections ever broken by 2015 future films Like BANG BANG ! , HNY, PK & so that Kick will become BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER of 2015.

    Srk fans bark HRITHIK & BANG BANG ! Because they don’t want that BANG BANG ! ever break KICK collections , So that Collections remains so low that Srk can break it too easily and HNY will become Biggest BlockbBlockbuster of 2015.

    Aamir fans bark HRITHIK & BANG BANG ! Because they don’t want that BANG BANG ! ever set so high records that will difficult to reach by Unofficial Remake of OMG _ PK and remain too low so that Aamir can break it too easily and PK will become BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER of 2015 and Aamir can maintain his BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER status as well after D:3

    Now, Time has taken completely U-turn ;

    1, Dilwale vs Bajirao Mastani
    2, Sultan vs Raees
    3, Dangal vs Baahubali2

    4, HRITHIK started doing more films

    It’s an AVENGE time for HRITHIK’s Fans. We all will spread unconditional love for Films like Bajirao Mastani, Baahubali The Conclusion and bark KHANs Films like Dilwale, Sultan, Raees and Dangal as well Despite being one of the greatest film of Hindi Cinema but I don’t think this four Films will even be good (???reviewed but not by sites like INDICINE) films

    We have tolerated THE FACT ;
    BANG BANG ! :
    181 Cr (With 70% less screens due to clash)
    258 Cr (with 100% screens if solo)
    Haider : 60 Cr
    Results;
    Hrithik : Shaahid=181:60=3:1 (Share)

    Now, KHANS Fans will have to tolerate this things. (Believe it or not, This is an UNIGNORABLE TRUTH)

  • Paheli is the only one that disappointed during that time, all the other films that got released during that period was too good. Main Hoon Na, VeerZara, Swades.

    I liked swades very much, unfortunately it was too much for our intellectual audience who raise Slogans now to watch BM that makes India proud

  • 18 December come soon man..just can’t wait anymore.. Forget everything,it is Shahrukh Khan returning to the silver screen once again and that too after more than a year.his screen presence is enough to ensure bumper openings and humongous footfalls..All the best team Dilwale.. I hope it gets enough screens and shows to have a 30 crore opening day

  • does a movie with top director , top heroine ,top singers and music director ,top starcast ,foreign shoot , high promotion , one film a year , holiday release ,does manipulation from the first day and then also fail to beat any records at the end and still some morons compare their star with a one man army salman khan…

  • @ indicine don’t promote only Dilwale , not to forget Bajirao Mastani releasing on same day . Srk fans don’t get me wrong . @ indicine same like CE & Ouatim dobara u only promote CE .

  • Even varun is a bigger star than ranveer singh.
    Most popular star+most popular young star+most popular jodi+most beautiful young actress+most popular “Masala” director+most popular soundtrack of the year+most promoted film of the year=most popular film of the year=dilwale

  • @indicine….if ra one is a hit, then tamasha and roy also are hits….can you justify it? You can take both movies i mentioned for comparison using all kind of revenues and costs associated with the movies

  • @ javed this the business if u don’t know the fact left this article . Why SLB will push release date of BM . If BM will fail at the box office we don’t get nervous . Everyone has equal chance to prove them . Salute to SLB they have taken such splendid job to release film on Christmas .

  • Bol bachaan was hit not super hit while
    Singham was a blockbuster not super hit.
    Whatever If you want to have a leak do it now comes once signs of Dilwale being movie of the year starts manifesting you guys gona Leak right there in your trousers.

  • @Indicine, promotions ke liye kitne fees liye ho.
    and only 1 blockbusters in the period where aamir and salman have 4 to 5 all time blockbusters and all time blockbustets respectively.

  • Wah!!
    @Indicine, you always say the same before the release of a SRK movie… But you escape or disappear with usual excuses when it fails to match up to what you say.
    Besides, you uplift the BO of Verdicts of SRK films and pull down that of a few other actors.
    Kabhi Alvida….. Semi Hit
    Rabne Banadi…. Super Hit
    Ra.One….. Flop
    Anyway, they are gonna fail big time this time because people will boycott this D (Deshdrohi) aka #HafizSaeedKiBegum

  • When Rohit shetty worked with srk, his movie became ATBB . If he would hve worked with srk or other big stars instead of ajay ,tushar earlier then his all movies would hve been bigger hits …..!

  • @indicine: I think you forgot there’s another film coming this friday
    I am pretty surprised the way you ignoring Bajirao Mastani @indicine!!

    Only Dilwale n SRK articles??!!??

  • Why SRK will ever remain a successful star: • Middle class background; not from a film family; secular Indian conservative family values • Stable married life; no second wife; no child out of wedlock • Enviable track record; sustained success ratio since Darr,Baazigar and DDLJ days (refer Box Office India; highest rating as successful actor over the years/two decades; largest number of All Time Block Busters, Block Busters and Superhit films across the span of his 2 decades career) • Global Indian icon; most recognisable face of India and Bollywood abroad • Possibly the highest or second highest tax payer from Bollywood every year; possibly the highest net worth Bollywood actor • Super energetic; live wire on celluloid and stage; mass entertainer; king of romance and emotions • His wit and sense of humour ;self deprecating humour • Multi-talented (actor/producer/business man/KKR team owner and owner of the champion team/sportsman/stage host/VFX studio owner); diversified interests • Benchmark/fulcrum around which Bollywood revolves. “Only SRK and sex sells”. Most articles on Bollywood have headlines with legend “SRK” to attract readers. Any upcoming /recently successful actor(new/old/veteran ) would be compared with SRK/his films/his TV shows/his brand value. The star who has given maximum interviews; the star who has got possibly maximum no of awards; the Indian star who is respected in reputed global Universities, has wax statues in several museums in India and abroad • The actor whose movies bring a feel good romantic love and warmth and smile to his billion fans across the globe(DDLJ, Kabhie Haan Kabhi Naah,DTPH, Chak De India, Swades, Veer Zaara, RBDJ,KKHH, Darr, Baazigar) • The way He emotes with his heroines (Kajol/Madhuri/Juhi/Rani/Preity Zinta/Gayatri Joshi) and screen mothers (Farida Jalal/Kiran Kher) is scintillating and his chemistry with heroines particularly Kajol , Juhi and Rani is sizzling ,mesmerizing and heart-warming. Attitude, Passion, creative,energetic ,electricity and eclectic-thy name is SRK! • Above all, truly secular ,patriotic , knowledgeable Indian with a modern global outlook and perspective?

  • Rohit shetty is not on right track .
    With a superstar like srk, he can give back 2 back blockbusters ….! Because of him ajay devgan survived in d industry.

    He has worked with good actors like ajay ,sanJay nd now should work only with superstars

  • Dilwale Team on Twitter is spamming anyone who’s using #Dilwale in their tweets with Bookmyshow.com link to book tickets…lol Hadd hai!

  • Dilwale is unstoppable for sure. The only thing is , almost all important records like (opening day, lifetime etc) will be out of reach due to clash and less number of screens.
    However it may create few new records (with clash I.e. doing better than other movies who faced the same clash).

    @The Phenom 03:35 pm : we never bothered about BM bro as they were never a competition. The only thing is, they will eat up the business of Dilwale as around 2000 screens will be allocated to them.
    As far as our support is concerned, I’ll be watching it on first day itself and I have taken an off from my work for this special day. Excited like hell to see SRK on big screens after 14 months or so..

    @Chuhe 03:38 pm : How many lies you will spout you liar. Ra-one was Flop? What is the source of this claim? And if Billu and Ye hai Bakrapur are SRK movies, then I’ll start counting Sawariya , Tell me O khuda and many more as Salman failures. Will you accept?

    @Joker Bhushan 03:43 pm : let’s come to the point. What if it won’t be a Flop? Reply me if you are a man. Else I’ll assume your identity by myself.
