The three major films in theatres this weekend – Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani and Star Wars: The Force Awakens – couldn’t really take full advantage of the Christmas holiday. The two Hindi releases were running in their 2nd week at the box office.
On the same day last year, PK collected a record-breaking Rs 27.55 crore on its 7th day, which was about 8% higher than the collections of Dhoom 3 the previous year.
In 2015, the collections on Christmas Day is down by around 15% from last year. In hindsight, a 25th December release, with preview shows starting on 24th, could have proven to be beneficial for Dilwale.
- 2008: Ghajini (Day 1) = 10 crore
- 2009: 3 Idiots (Day 1) = 12.5 crore
- 2010: Tees Maar Khan (Day 2) = 13.5 crore
- 2011: Don 2 (Day 3) = 17.98 crore
- 2012: Dabangg 2 (Day 5) = 15.5 crore
- 2013: Dhoom 3 (Day 6) = 25.52 crore
- 2014: PK (Day 7) = 27.55 crore
- 2015: Dilwale (Day 8) + Bajirao Mastani (Day 8) + Star Wars (Day 1) = 23.94 crore

NO BRO,IT should be like this
Last CHRISTMAS-‘AAMIR+RAJU+ANUSHKA=27 CR.’
This CHRISTMAS
‘SRK+KAJOL+VARUN+RANVEER+ DEEPIKA+PRIYANKA+KRITI+ROHIT +SLB’
=20 CR.
LOL!!!!
8.1 is a Christmas gift from Santa. Enjoy all coz agar Christmas naa hota toh isse aadha kamati
Dilwale is not a flop..
Yes i agree that it failed to the expectations ( becasue i was waiting for a 230 cr in india) but its not a flop and neither a blockbustet..its just a clean-hit
worst performence on christmas is by none other than akshay but not akshay kumar it is akshay khanna who made tmk more worst.
After Dilwale’s ghatia performance, One SRK Fan’s Reaction on twitter – “SRK sir ab bakriyo ki tarah behhh behhhh karna bandh karke kuch serious acting bhi karo… Aapki wajah se hum gaaliya khaate hai” ???
it will collect more than 150 cr so much negativity around dilwale and SRK politicial issued desite bhansali movie and less screens than bajirao mastani still he is man who serve it like Amir and Salman they might suside .
Chameleon Hunter@ – No, I’m V Shantaram, Superman Salman Ka Fan ???
@chain smoker:
SRK has 7movies collected 200cr worldwide not 8….Mnik, ra1, don2, jthj, CE, hny & Dilwale. It seems you have used red chilli calculator to count the collections.
@javeda:
What a moronic logic!!! Combine collections of BM+ Dilwale+ star wars are just 23cr but according to you Dilwale would have collected over 30cr if it released solo…hahaha.
Your crying over rice smuggler don’t make any sense as already decided to postpone it to another date..
so dilawale did even lesser than 7 yrs old
Ghajni which got released only 1200 screens and had solid competitor like RNBDJ
Just look at all the beautiful movies there 3 idiots, ghajni. Dons, Dilwale BM Dhoom3. Dabbang 2 and PK….. Then you have d biggest let down of all Tees Maar Khan!!! With d worst verdicts!! and excuses like ppl wrote it off is pathetic bcos what is even.there to watch in it??
That’s why actor Akshay hardly have lucrative Festives release everyone knows he will.disappoint!!!
Ajay Hritik any festive will do… They don’t joke with festive releases…Proven esp this decade.
Xmas shd be reserved for Salman Srk Aamir while if some more talented young stars wants to clash with them then fine ….at their own risk..some could be lucky like Ranveer.
Haters congratulations to you, you have won. Enjoy.
@indicine : why are you trying so hard to prove that you do not like srk, and creating undue negativity.
To all the haters : srk can fail but you can not take away the fact that he became shahrukh Khan and is very important part of your lives. You think of him all the time.
He is successful and will always be looked upon as a achiever, a true role model.
Deep in hearts people wish to be like him, parents wants children to emulate his success, his manners.
Dilwale his failure is bigger success than most successful movies of many superstars.
So be cool and enjoy your days in sun.
You don’t like him is cool… But learn for him.
@indicine :you people please avoid undue negativity. Movie is still running and collecting decently…
@Congratulation srk haters, negativity or positivity is created by box office collections. Reports are nothing more than a reflection of a film’s box office performance.
This is why I always batted for a Dec 25 release for Dilwale..it would have topped this list had it released yesterday…but all said and done, Christmas without Aamir Khan is not really Christmas.
where r they spread negitivity against bm so that dilwale to boost.films run on his merit and not filthy about other movies
Dilwale is a winner worldwide with big lead. Srk rules bollywood. Better luck next time haters. You r born to see srk winning everything. Dilwale is a blockbuster movie worldwide. All time blockbuster overseas nd hit in india.
Dec 25 was a much better release date for either Dilwale or Bajirao Mastani. I would lean towards Dilwale, as it would have made 100cr in 3 days which would ensure a higher lifetime than whatever it collects now.
Chrismas weekend ruined by BM..BM IS LYK NA KHAUNGA AUR NA KHANE DOONGA..fanous lines…dont understand why a movie release like BM which have not potential to do 250+ cr in a most profitable period…one more thing is overconfidence of srk and rs also the reason behind that…protest have spoil the party for RS & company…damage had allready done to dilwale … Release on 25 dec for dilwale can prove masterstrok ….
Indicine can you create a ignore button? Becuase these SRK fans won’t even admit that their film are shitty(See what i did there :P ?). That is why it is failing not because of the protest. Have you seen Salman fans whine over the protest over Jai Ho? No, we admit that it wasn’t very good and the other reason was the ticket price. While SRK fans “Dilwale loved by family”, “Dilwale here for long run” “BM not good movie”, “Star wars not good movie sleeping durining it”.
its very difficult to digest and confessed for indicine about dilwale performance because more or less blamed and deteriorated in every article before release on bm for the clash.u promote and endorsed dilwale more than they do in ur site.
In ’13 when SRK arrived with CE that exceeded expectations in terms of box office and content, he proved his stardom, he should have focused on content rich movies with a wide appeal. The masala genre is way below him.
@indicine : got your point, don’t be defensive :)
Movie is doing below expectation business, but can this be classified as flop?
Also BM will do 10-15 crore more than dilwale in best case, and being declared blockbuster? As both have nearly same budget.
@indicine you are doing great job, continue your good work.
@Javed : So you agree that Srk is a small n tiny star compare to Ranveer & Star wars cast ? Where is the Global power ??? Lol
@tigress what do u mean by even akki TMK …..??? U fool TMK was one of BIGGEST movie of 2010 yes bigger than ur bhai’s dabbang it had extraordinary buzz at that time ……. But word of mouth even terrible than some of big flops of Bollywood (imdb 2.4) but it still earned 60+ India and 5 million + overseas…verdict semi hit..!!!
So it’s better u shut ur mouth….dumb ass..
@indicine why there is not a single article about on Dilwale overseas collection .you are proving to be very diplomatic towards Dilwale??
@BabajiKaThullu Lol, hope you’re not implying that TMK Day 2 collections were due to stardom of Akki in 2010. Don’t forget that it had the hottest and the most popular song Sheila ki Jawani ft. Katrina.
@aisha true that is why ur khans still cannot even beat Akshay Kumar Rowdy Rathore 135 crore on non holiday period….. Fact..!!
Akshay himself has his own share of success like garam masala on Diwali and welcome which would have been the first 100 cr grosser for Bollywood ….so better get ur facts right.. Before barking..!!
films verdict rely on buyers who bought. dilwale sold at Exorbitant prices to buyers approx 250 crore in india Disaster for buyers (grief).
REALLY FEELING BAD FOR SRK……………BUT I HATE SRKIAN……………THREE KHANS WILL RULE BOLLYWOOD ATLEAST FOR NEXT 5 MORE YEARS…………..
@Indicine, post about Eid and Diwali also.
@Javed…. don’t spread negativity against Star Wars.
I know u want to spread negative against Star Wars to help Dilwale.
and CE, HNY, Ra.One, Don 2 these all are solo.
Ra.One Solo on Diwali and Don 2 solo on Christmas failed to cross Non Holiday Ready of the same year with high ticket rate and more no. of screens.
@jokerpol:
I said Akki not jokerboy, flopshay or floppy. Why are you blabbering so much???
Now a days no Bhai fan is bashing your jokerboy (check airlift related articles). But lagta hai tumlog humein sudharne nahi doge!!! If you bark any nonsense on Bhai again then I will show you the real AUKAAT of your idol as well as you…!!!
