There are protests at a few places, a few shows have been cancelled and few others have been disrupted. The film hasn’t even got the kind of release it deserves, but there are worrying signs for Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale at centres where it opened well on Friday.
In cities like Bangalore and Mangalore, Dilwale has shown a drop in business, while Bajirao Mastani has picked up by 30-40%. The gap has also narrowed down in North India, where Dilwale was expected to dominate. These are ominous signs, because centres like these don’t usually drop on Saturday.
In the Maharashtra state, it’s a different story altogether. Bajirao Mastani is already leading at several multiplexes in cities like Mumbai and Pune. On Sunday, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film is almost certain to surpass the Rohit Shetty directed film and could do so by a decent margin.
At multiplexes, there was very little to choose between the two films on Saturday. It was on this day that both Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani were expected to show growth in the range of 10-15%. Bajirao Mastani has exceeded expectations with 20% growth, while Dilwale remained at around the same level as Friday.
There is a good chance that Bajirao Mastani could match the collections of Dilwale on Sunday and if that happens, the writing will be on the wall.
@chinnay frustration of SRK fans is clearly showing.. i am loving it
@indicen
yar tum bht dara rahe ho. sone nahi doge aj. I hope Sunday will turn the fate for dilwale. _/\_…
go people go and watch the most entertaining movie of the year. go out with your families to celebrate love, happiness, dilwale. don’t let this fabricated negativity affect you. don’t let these politically motivated protests affect u. go out and watch dilwale. hoping for a exceptional Sunday for dilwale. goodnight everybody. hope I wake up to 100 percent occupancies for Sunday morning.
The cancelled shows do make a small dent but the nuetral fans have been with BM. Yes there is a big movement to BM in metros and it’s a multiplex movie as expected. The real test is Monday if some shows restart they help hold and the SS will hold for sure. The numbers will be low but it will take time. The negative wom is on social media due to low critics and metro crowd disliking this masala genre. The crowd out from theatres is positive. Very tricky one for anyone to call. Monday the nail biter. One can’t say that Monday growth will come from multiplex as that’s not how it works be cox BM will do the same. Not having enough SS and poor quality ones messed it
So going by this article dilwale cant collect 200 cr lifetime!! I’d still be optimistic coz its not even Christmas weekend yet!!
Realistically with jus good collections at best dilwale cld still collect anywhr between 170-190 cr coz of the long holiday period n genre n srk factor!!
So verdict acc to lifetime collections considering the clash!!
240cr+ = atbb
200cr+ = bb
175cr+ = superhit
155cr+ = hit
140cr+ = above average
125cr+ = average
Less than 125cr = flop
100 cr= disaster
As of now atbb n bb r out of reach, superhit is difficult n shd b a hit atleast with collections bout 170 cr!!
Again it cld earn more but if earns less it wld certainly be a disappointment!!
Some idiots predicted 60cr opening day for varunwale. Million dollars question is will it go past that mark (60cr) even its full weekend???
bajirao first weekend 42cr-45cr
dilwale first weekend 60cr-65cr
Dilwale will be long running horse Monday will prove it
Shocking!
Considering it’s a good movie and the wom is way better than HNY.
A lot depends upon tomorrow. My calculation says Dilwale Sunday figures should be some where between 24-25 crores. If that is the case then lifetime will not go beyond 180 crs. Next two days are very crucial.
@chinmay still you are in dream – to Salman you are telling small star by the way in 90s area also Salman movies got more than higher grosser than srk movies and not from lastb5 year from last 8-10 years srk movies not become higher grosser but still you srk fans running your mouth that he is no 1 – every thing is in front of you but still arguing looks
Indicineteam really great work from your side before I was thinking you always support only srk but reading after this article you are genienu
Now ready for see big excuse from all srk fans @ nave en, challah, xzone, amen
Mark my words despite so much negetivity clash Dilwale will emarge huge success n prove LOVE IS ALLWAYS BIGGER THAN HATE
Earlier srk fans was telling srk will crash bm like nothing and now they are telling it’s clash – too much fun
Ranveer is giving tough fight to self mode king
What will happen when he will clash with salman
Me thinks that SRK fans are getting nervous and panicking but it serves them right. I once said never open your mouth and be thought a fool. SRK sorry to say with his inflated ego and arrogance opened his mouth and pulled himself down and it did not start with his comments on intolerance, it started long before that when he insulted Salman at Kats party and that’s when God took over and began to bless Salman look back and see when the turn in Salman career began. You see pride is one sin God hates the most and it comes before a fall. Now he is trying once again to use Salman to get back a foothold and Salman being a man with a heart of gold will never let anyone down whether you choose to believe it or not. God will bless him because God knows we are not perfect and He stands behind such persons. Dilwale will flop. Sorry writing is on the wall.
@sallu mon what a joke? Srk is the 2nd biggest star after Salman? Only for illiterates like you. But srk is surely 2nd biggest star after aamir. Aamir is biggest megastar and srk is the 2nd biggest. Salman is nowhere close to aamir and srk. So get lost.
Salman shouldn’t get solo release on festivals. He should get clahs. Salman is the biggest coward who doesn’t have guts to face clash. Oh I forgot he lost clash against not only Srk but even fardeen khan and ranbeer kapoor also defeated him. Ha ha ha. That his power. No one can dare to call him superstar. He is not even a star. He has maximum flops. Aamir and srk are much bigger stars than Salman.
Yaar I really feel bad for srk fans now, they are getting trolled from everywhere and by everyone, b/c there so called superstar (srk) movie is not doing well or I can say underperforming. But wait what I am saying yaar, sorry actually they (srk fans) deserve all these trolling and negativity around there srk’s movie b/c, I remember how they spread so much negativity when Salman’s movie PRDP release, now they realize how it feel when people spread negativity for their star’s movie. I hope you (srk fans) guys learn something from this and in future think twice before spreading negativity for other stars movie.
Till then enjoy this trolling and negative comments you deserve this…..
ROFL
For me the worrying sign was from the very beginning when images emerged of Kajol aunty who looked young enough to be Queens daughter….!
@3:21am
I too was thinking the same exact thing….!
Unlike indicine but kudos where its due.
Srk fans are saying that PRDP is a flop movie, for your kind information PRDP gets appreciation and accepted by it’s target audiences which is ‘Family Audience’ and gets a mixed response from youth. Whereas HNY was totally rejected by all type of audiences….
after watching i must say that bm is better movie than dilwale..main strength in bm is the story nd the amazing direction of slb though the movie is a little bit slow. In diwale the only strength is the chemistry of srk nd kajol but the story is almost predictable nd dull.
BM- 3.5/5
Dilwale- 2/5
I may watch Dilwale as they need my help just to break even it seems- lol
Proud of Deepika as she has proved beyond doubt that the success of Crappy Express n Crappy New Yr was all down to her….! Nothing to do with queen or the car fetish freak shetty
It’s alarming sign for not only srk but for the other over confident Khan
Be ready Mr Aamir Khan
Next year you will be taught a lesson too
2016 :will be end of so called media created Khan Era
Har har mahadev
It is proved once again that aamir khan is numero uno biggest megastar of Bollywood and one one else cal break his own records except for himself.

All except for megastar Aamir khan come to the last spot at least for once, but megastar aamir khan doesn’t get to even down the 2nd spot as he is on top in every prospects. Hail aamir khan the biggest megastar of Bollywood.
Sorry guys,dilwale sucks.One more crap from srk.But i hate more than anyone in the world is varun dawan,because he compare this shit movie with inception.
@hrithik, are u blind idiot….
there are protests against dilwale all over india and most of the shows had been closed …..
does ur tiny brain work ,when u r writing idiot ??????????
main Problem is why srk choose 18th dec in stead of 25 dec.non
holiday pe collection kaise hoga.we all know that he did it for getting 300 crore.even 200cr is out of reach for mixed wom movies .now a days people are going to different types of movies nt same masala kind.
So this Christmas is wasted for movie business because these typesof movies don’t run after 7-8 days.
Because of a small statement about reality
indian extrimists are banning dilwale….
it shows how narrow-mind they are …
what is ur problem with srk’s movie ????
