Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani has finally overtaken Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale on Day 12 at the box office, as the film has now collected Rs 131.46 crore in 12 days since its release – as against the 129.5 crore (approx) business of Dilwale.
It’s a huge victory for ‘Team Bajirao Mastani’ as the film was never expected to get close to Dilwale, let alone beat the domestic business of the film.
The Ranveer Singh starrer has remained steady during the working weekdays and the growth should come on Thursday (New Year eve) and Friday (New Year). Bajirao Mastani is also leading Dilwale at almost every multiplex in India and exhibitors have rewarded its good performance with plenty of prime-time shows in Week 3.
There are no major film releases in the first week of January, so Bajirao Mastani will continue to remain the first choice for the audience.
The drop from the first week to second will be around 35-36%, the excellent hold was because of the Christmas holidays. But even if Bajirao Mastani has a normal drop of around 65% in Week 3, it could collect 20 crore in Week 3 – taking the three week business of the film to around the 160 crore mark.
Bajirao Mastani should finish with lifetime business of around Rs 170 – 175 crore net. The overseas collections are also excellent and hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. The film will be a profitable venture for all involved.

@Sunny flopiholic and @Saksham floppian tell your joker Kumar to give at least 1 150 Cr grosser in his remaining days because budhape me kya hoga. Megastar aamir khan is giving back to back 250 Cr grossers while your joker Kumar cant even come close to 150 Cr in India. Neither your joker Kumar has any movie in top 20 in overseas. Flop actor ke flop fans ke flop opinions se kya hoga? Babaji ka thullu? LOL. Megastar aamir khan has billions of fans in the world even more than srk. Megastar aamir khan is the most popular and most famous Indian star all over the world.
Heres my biased, highly subjective list of top stars in our country based on my criteria which is my fav stars…!
1- Aamir Khan
2- Salman Khan
3- Nawaz bhai
4- Ajay Devgn
5- Anil Kapoor
6- Ranbir Kapoor
7- Chameleon Baba sorry Rockstar Baba Gurmeet
8- Varun Dhawan
9- Sid Malhotra
10- Manoj Bajpayee
No updates on Baghban 2 collections….?
Maybe laal mirchi have recruited new accountants ie the hyderabadi mechanical grnius complan boy n the gola planet nanga dhakkan to try n manipulate the figures…!
The losers will surely take the gross figure n multiply it by 1234 n come up with a net figure of 45.6cr….!
Flopwale has crashed hence no updates…! Sad day for fans
It is fun reading these comments. The below comments made by SRK fans on Dilwale advance booking article :

Tens, Thousands, Millions of fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@fan 500cr such a dickhead u r..as u asked for the ww collections so lemme tell u dat ww of bm is 250 and ur disasterwale is at 284 and the gap is narrowing day by day and bm has collected 70crs in os compared to ua disasters 115 and 70crs is a huge figure..and it will grow from here and the gap will be narrowing..still the ww race is on and as far as domestic is concerned let us not say anything and plzz bro stop giving those lame excuses of politics n all as acc to u there is no politics in ww so why the gap of 65crs after weekend has come down to just 34 crs..so just chill and dont go berserk..hope u got ua ans..and if not yet u’ll definitely get it after the run of both movies for dilwale which will b the shorter one..when indicine will update the final collections of both the movies…u will be thrashed at ww boxoffice as well..so plz make some sensible statements..
Lot of fan wars on this article. What @sss is doing for SRK is @Funny chachi doing for Akki. We never have any problem with Akshay Khiladi Kumar but this one fan is spoiling Akki’s image and garnering haters !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jinko ladna hai lado but reality wont change, at current situation no one can be even compare with Aamir and Salman forget competing with them. But there is one man who can come near them it is none other than Hrithik Roshan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good collection
Bajirao Mastani has won the race in India as it will finish with collections that are around 25 crore nett higher than Dilwale but Worldwide business is heading for a very close finish. After three days there was a 65 crore gap in Worldwide collections with Dilwale on 145 crore and Bajirao Mastani on 90 crore
After twelve days which is like the mid point of a films run today as they do not last more than 25 days in most theatres be it in India or Overseas, the gap is down to 34 crore. Dilwale stands at 284 crore after twelve days while Bajirao Mastani is at 250 crore.
The lead is coming down daily and it will be a close finish. In india not only is Bajirao Mastani is grossing more but a huge chunk of its business is coming from Maharashtra where tax is high while Dilwale is grossing from lower tax rate areas like West Bengal and South. The gross to nett ratio is higher for Bajirao Mastani compared to Dilwale.
@Saksham floppian I think you are the tiniest kiddo who does have a brain of 3 yeats old child. Megastar aamir khan has billions of fans worldwide and your flopstar akki doesn’t even have half as many fans as ultimate megastar aamir khan. Get lost you jerk. Aamir is biggest brand. Whatever he does created curiosity and excitement everywhere. His name is enough to shatter all records. Your flopstar akki doesn’t have any fan following. He is fanless loser star without stardom. Dont even dare to compare megastar aamir khan who is loved by billions of people in the world. You loser flop star’s flop fan, get lost and stay in your aukaat.
@arjun
Are you serious wit that list?
Ranveer is my favourite amongst Youngistaan but come on just 1 movie Ranveer above Ajay and Akki?
On a serious note that’s unfair. I know I do say things atimes bad but all of you know d reason as @Hritik pointed out. To be honest I think that’s an insult to both fans. Yes Ranveer had an excellent year especially battle war with Srk but come on Deepika and Peecee added more excitement even though overall credit goes to Ranveer. if you say 2015 no arguments on Ajay cos 1 less appeal family movie but Akki maintained that 80-95 brackets with 4 movies with sporadic spacing. So might be harsh on him. But overall pls Ranveer has a long way to displace Ajay and Akki,not in this decade for sure yaar… Noooo wayyyyyyy…
Nothing personal cos I find Your comments very interesting most times.
@sakshamakkian
Fan following ki baat wo karte hain jinke actor se ek 100 crore ki movie nahi di jaa rhi. ? ? ?
1st 100 crore movie of Aamir 116 crore in 2008 > Akshay’s movie Holiday released in 2014. Aukaat dikh gyi?
2016 me aukaat ho toh 100 crore krke dikhaaio.
Airlift impossible.
Rustom Impossible-Hro will kill it badly.
HF3-Only Umeed due to franchise factor.
Yahan hum fanless actor ke fan 300 crore ki baatein krte h aur megastar Akshay ke fans 100 crore bhi nahi kar paate. ?
What an irony. ?
@being real human. Your list of superstars is point on.
God bless indicine for these daily updates. Am thoroughly enjoying myself after the day’s hard work. Now, BM has overtaken Flopwale officially. It feels nice. Ur prediction for Dilwale was point on as SRKians are now praying for a mere 150 crores for their magnificent king. Ha ha ha.
I really don’t know how Deepika does it, but the lady is now a certified movie lucky mascot. Anything she touches now turns into gold whether the movie is with a superstar like SRK or an aspiring star like Ranveer. Keep rocking Bollywood while u can girl, and kangana can continue hating. Both Deepika and Ranveer will sweep all the awards next year while haters will keep hating.
@Saksham Akkian, whatever you blabber the truth will never change
In Popularity worldwide
1. AAMIR KHAN
2. Shahrukh khan
3. Hrithik Roshan
4. Salman khan
5. akshay kumar
your flop star akshay can’t come close to aamir in popularity and fan following. and aamir has billiond of fans and he has way more die hard fans than your flop actor akshay whose limit is only 60-90 cr at the box office, ab foot le yahan se.
Now, No matter how hard you cry, the bitter truth will not change. so keep crying.
I have proud on SLB he has shown the Brahmin Warrior on big screen . Bajirao Peshve never lost any battle , then how he can loss box office battle . Jai Parshuram .
Now see after dangal release how we destroy dangal on box office . Dangal ko dangal kar denge . We just remember date 18/12/2016 . Jai Hindusum .
What the hell @arjun youngistaan. Ranveer ahead of Ajay Akshay. Joke of the day. Comparing to highly achieved superstars Ranveer. Akki is a glamorous superstars while Ajay is King of intense superstar so who is Ranveer. Shah Rukh behind Hritik?
1. Salman
2.Aamir
3. Srk
4. Akki /Ajay very hard to choose.
5. Ajay /Akki
And you dare put Ranveer ahead of Akki and Ajay. even Ranveer will disqualify that list. Tell me how easy is it to still be having interesting line ups after 25 years? Apart from khans I rate Akki Ajay even above Hritik. Be sensible
This is not the first time @Sunny joker is making absurd comments. complex with Salman Ajay now Aamir. unfortunately they are miles much bigger and better actor than Joker. most anticipated movies too shows each of every top superstars in the country star power and lead status. Srk
Salman
Hritik
Ajay
Aamir
Ranking is not in order just random. Aab tera kya hoga joker? Same old story. The bigger superstars aiming for 150 atleast Akki fans already accepting Airlift can’t gross 100 with clash with Tushaar. Rofl!!
Great show, great performances…lots of money to keep it to high standard. The results….A HIT BY ANY STANDARD. Returns would have been better if it had not been released with Dilwale. Both would have exceeded 200 ch on the local CIRCUITS. CONGRATULATIONS
@1:00am aisha
Hun God knows Im a real big admirer of yours but that last sentence of your comment has got me seriously questioning that affection of mine towards you…!
Everybody knows that the new definition of a village idiot is somebuddhawale mukherjee n the only interesting thing about his sorry existence is his silly name so for you to say he says interesting things most of the time is stretching the imagination abit too far..! Cmon hun dont humour him- admit hes an idiot n restore my faith in yiur wisdom…! ;-)
Ha ha ha
Can’t stop laughing
@Aisha iqbal
Akshay kumar sath ajay ka naam attach krke kya saabit krna chahti ho ?? Taking akshays help to show ajay above then ranveer? ? Sorry ranveer is ahead then ajay . Nd akshay ka naam ajay k sath kb lena bnd krogii ?? ?? AKSHAY IS MAN OF MILLIONS ND AJAY MAN OF THOUSANDS. AKKI IN TOP 3 SUPERSTARS IN TERMS OF STARDOM ND U TRYS UR AJAY DEVGAN’S NAME WITH AKSHAY KUMAR. ? PLS WE DON’T NEED UR CMNTS 4 AKSHAY .
@Navin is also mine admirer .
He told me on Twitter.
@ sunny definitely she is not deserved to take Akki Sir name . Only selfmade superstar rule .
@Navin..
That ain’t my comment dear. It’s definitely these Akshay fans. I stopped commenting on akki support independently for ages now. Am not surprised rather laughing on how cheap they can be. Maash Allah these people are getting so dumb!! even my…. style (lol), they did it for @ xzone now on AD fan?????? yuck!!!
Very similar with @Sumeet though not sure but look at their comments again. Same @JOKELOSERS.COM!!!
@sunny Akkiholic /Rajesh Kulkarni
Only in your dreams do dare to communicate with me.. Ajay does not need any help. Be grateful the imposter of @aisha upgraded Jokers level. Okay? Now bug off.
@Rajesh flopkarni what will you do to Dangal? You flop star joker’s fan. Never dare to mess with aamir fans. We will literally make your star’s all films flop just like how we did to srk’s disasterwaale . This is the last warning from aamirian. Sudhar jao. Otherwise airlift will be disaster and we aamir fans can ruin everything. So never mess with megastar aamir khan and his fans. Dangal will be biggest blockbuster ever. Try as hard as you can you chota mota star fans.
Awful awful reply @Joker boy. Thank your stars Ajay was been attached with Makki.
@aisha. we know just ignore and carry on.
It’s sickening how they don’t even understand matured comments. Your imposter said right but they purposely were looking for attention. thwats
@Navin it’ s not her you haven’t seen gatya comments on Ajay from them if I were @aisha I won’ t praise Akki because we all know There is a big difference.
@Rajesh. same you beg akki fans to support Ajay they never warned you but @aisha imposter it’s a Xmas treat for them to exercise their stupidity. how can Akki match up with akki.? Not a chance. Look people comments most ranking Ajay higher than akki in all the lists rankings topic all even uska stardom makes him even displace Dangal without Rohit. What’s else?
