Dilwale releases in theatres this weekend and it’s easily the biggest release of 2015. The craze is unprecedented and there are several reasons for that.
The superstar: Shah Rukh Khan is one of the top superstars in the country and his track record in the last 10 years is exceptional. After the release of Paheli in 2005, none of his films have failed at the box office.

Lead Pair: SRK’s pairing with Kajol is arguably the biggest in the history of Indian Cinema. Dilwale will be their 7th film together. They have never failed.

@Star Wars : The Force Awakens
SRK did not give any flop when Salman gave ATBB whereas Salman Khan gave series of disasters when SRK gave super hit/blockbuster movies. That’s the star power. Everyone has a phase and SRK is ruling for the past 22 years. Many may come and go during his long tenure for SHORT TERM. So please don’t do unnecessary comparisons.
Nothing against Salman Khan but your comment made me spill the truth.
@Indicine has started going on a crazy drive….no one can stop it……in the next few days one can expect headlines with words like – Smashing, Record Breaking, Craziest, Whirlwind, Tornado…blah blah……while for other films they have the standard headlines viz., —— Today’s collection, today’s collection, today’s collection…….lolz…..
no wonder visitors says it is srkcine more than indicine….lol.
No Need
Onlly
Shah Rukh Khan
The Name Is Enough
To Distroy BM
accha Hua Salman Sir Nhi Hai
Athorwise Haters Kanha Chupate?
@star wars
indicine did the same with Prdp
us time tum apni maa…. rhe the kya
idiot bhaitards
Once he worked with Flop factory Like Ajay,Abhishek,tushar,Sheyas talpade who have maximum flops in their carrer excluding movies with him ???& Now working with Superhit Factory.
Complete u turn rom Rohit shetty …..! Good Going.
CE is an ATBB!!!! best joke ever
Soorry guys been out for a while.
Woow that’s interesting.
Don’t know what was going on in SLB mind?
He isn’t Rohit that does not care who clashes with him. SLB would have gotten some tips from producers of OUATIMD BLUE ACTION REPLAY all featuring Legendary akshay kumar talk more of Kaal ka launda Bandar Singh who will get black and blue lesson ? from Srk.
I started my journey with Rohit right from Golmaal when he was just an amateur grooming director till now where he is arguably the most successful director in B.town.
Srk been very consistent with outstanding sprees of successful movies. The guy deserves something bigger come dec18 with my Guru’s wife too. Best wishes team ?
Undoubtedly Dilwale has complete ingredients to become highest grossing of the year. Time has proved that if any film make a clash with King Khan that film ruined badly. SRK-Kajol-Rohit-Varun-Kriti = All Time Blockbuster.
Eagerly waiting for DILWALE.
@DESTROYER OF KHANS : Dude I think you are bhakts of RSS truth prevail itself do whatever you want to do man Khans are here to rule one more decade and new bunch will come next SRK sons Sohail, Arbaaz sons Amir Son as well.
If CE is an ATBB then ETT was also an ATBB bcoz it did nearly 200cr back in 2012 and on which basis Ra.1 is a Hit r u kidding me or what? budget is nearly 130cr and it barely crossed 100cr mark domestically, if we combine domestic + worldwide collections then it will call it as a clean Hit otherwise it was an above average grosser on box-office !!! Lol stop favouring hakla everytime……….
3 Day To Go To Experience The Hysteria That Dilwale’s Gonna Create!!!
blockbuster film …
Hello indicine my 1st time commenting here. I am from Sri Lanka. I know indians love actors like Shah rukh khan Hritik Salman. I read your articles always and see how Srk is hyped every day. It’s too much. You people seem bias atime. I can tell you in Sri Lanka Akshay kumar is the most versatile actor we have ever witness. He is seen as a bigger actor than so called Srk Salman Aamir Ajay. He does many movies a year. Even so called imdb ratings of versatile actors make me feel they are sponsored by Indians. It’s a joke seen SHAH aAamir ajay considered better versatile actors than Akshay. Impossible! We Sri Lankan know about quality movies and actors. Rohit is overhyped too. If he has guts why not feature better quality actors lnstead of a ready made ingredient. If it’s not Ajay it’s Srk. If he has guts why not give younger actors or even Akshay a go. Salman out of the context he is just a advertisement face. Akki is hardworking. He was suppose to win filmfare award best debut for saugandh the super hit movie of early 90s later they gave it to Ajay for Phool aur.kaante what was special? Nothing just because they come from filmi background aamir salman ajay hritik they won male best debut and saugandh was overlooked. ok I know they are talented actors but no where bear Akshay the face of India. Finally craps like drisham gets 9.0 from Indian bought imdb while movies like baby gets lower. Why? BROTHERS 1st mma something new in Bollywood but critics disallowed people to watch it? My knowledge of Bollywood is very wide even if I am Sri Lankan . Look what Legend Amit wife jaya said about Akshay after seeing his early movie. That Akshay reminds him of her young and angry and smart husband actor Amitabh. No disrespect, it’s my opinion and many Sri Lankaz, Akshay is most talented superstar in india. Later we can consider likes of Shah rukh aamir ajay hritik Salman. Be real and see how many new fans will be logging in to your site. Thank you. Airlift blockbuster in the making so haters just watct.
I m very excited for Dilwale. Its gona be a masterpiece.
After seeing the current scenario, a prayer from my heart revealed that SLB and EROS may lose a huge amount and get a lesson in their life that will never forget till alive regarding the result for taking challenge against a person like SRK… This SLB stinky shit spoil the dream of srkian to dilwale become the highest grossing indian cinema ever..
@indicine, if ce ATBB then you please change the verdict of Bodyguard, ETT, KICK to all ATBB. Stop this nonsense. And also change the verdict of YJHD too that ATBB.
@ indicine publish article on Akki Sir donated 1 crore to Chennai flood . Just love the work of Akki sir , making film on patriotic , 2 crore rs to poor farmer .
First day 28 cr day 2 35 cr day 3 40 cr 3090 domestic screen 980 overseas has been sold overseas tickets
Thanks Indicine for making this official.
Coming to the buzz of this crap film is riding on boycotting this film not for watching…
And believe me everything happens for the first time in life for sure… So Guaranteed Failure written all over for this crap n outdated HNY sequel or prequel
@Jhandu 04:26 pm : You coward, why aren’t you replying what you will do if it won’t fail at BO ? Will you hide your face like your colleague “Shameless Shaggy” ?
@Babaji : Why so much jealousy dude ? If both Airlift and KSKHH3 are releasing on same day, which movie they will focus more? Obviously Airlift.
In the same way, Dilwale is much bigger movie than BM, both as per the star cast and as per the scale. So they will obviously focus on Dilwale as majority of traffic will come from Dilwale. And its not like they have completely ignored BM. Daily they publish 1-2 articles related to BM.
Coming to spam, I too posted many tweets tagging Dilwale, but I never got any reply like what you claimed. On the contrary, I got a reply from HDFC people claiming they will provide some 5% discount on BMS. So that’s not a big deal. Way of promotion differs with every passing day.
Also, if Akki tells you will get a patriotic feeling when you watch Airlift , that also can be termed as “Hadd Hai” ? Why one should watch a movie to get those patriotic feelings when we already have that in our blood?
So you can find 100 ways to question someone but reality is, there are multiple ways of promotion and one is free to opt whatever suits their requirement.
DILWALE will break PK record
CE ATBB..LOL..
where is All time disasters BILLU & DMG.?
Ra-1 was also flop.
shame..
varun dhawan my best actor .jisme varun sir hain wo moveis block buster hai
Shame on so called megastar who couldn’t give a hit to porn actresses like daisy and zarine who are now giving a superhit with karan Singh Grover and Sharman Joshi. So either daisy and zarine are bigger than our so called rumored megastar, or karan Singh and Sharman are bigger. It’s time for his fans to decide. Too much fun.
BTW I have already booked my tickets for FDNS.
Dilwale…from fan srk Indonesia
Uncle-aunty’s last film..my name is king kong..struggld at box office..
karan arjun,kuch kuch,kabi kushi,baazigar(shilpa) all multistarrer films
Nice joke frm indicine…director and actor who “never” fails..
@XZone, I wont be replying to a bakra, an animal, like you, who knows nothing but hamming and bleating.. Goat doesnt understand human language and vice versa.
Because even when you try to teach goats something, it behaves rather worse. A goat is difficult to be tamed, .. It is of no use to human beings except for being slaughtered and eaten… Else useless.
@Babaji ka thullu, True. Lal Mirchi & their Marketing Agents are spamming everyone whoever uses #Dilwale. Now even difficult to use the name of an Ajay’s film called Dilwale.
well i like srk but the fact is Kabhi Alvida & RaOne are not hits.
is big hit overseas but not in India.
Even MNIK wasn’t declared hit in India if i rememebr correctly. Overseas MNIK and KANK were blockbusters!
Even Don 2 was an under performer though it released during the so called best release period ie Christmas & New Year!
