The advance booking of Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale opened all over India on Monday. The initial response has been terrific, with tickets selling faster than all movies released this year. When contacted, a source from online portal BookMyShow.com, confirmed the same.
“Dilwale Advance Booking is live now, get ur ticket to fun, entertainment, love and happiness. Merry XMas” Shah Rukh Khan had tweeted on Monday, announcing that tickets of his much-hyped entertainer were going on sale all over the country.
The best response to the advance booking is in Kolkata, a Shah Rukh Khan stronghold, where several shows of the film are already sold out. The craze for Dilwale in Kolkata is unprecedented and tickets for most shows on Friday are likely to be sold out before release. Other centres don’t quite match upto Kolkata, but the initial response has exceeded expectations.
Most multiplexes have currently allotted only one screen at each centre to Dilwale, because the makers of Bajirao Mastani are demanding equal ‘show ratio’ for their film. Once the dispute is settled, more tickets will go on sale.
Dilwale will be running on approximately 40% fewer shows as compared to other big releases like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Stay tuned for more updates on Dilwale. Final report on the advance booking will be published on Thursday and like always, IndicineFBO prediction will be out on the day before release.
Will do 300 cr with clash !!!
Bajirao mastani coming tis friday
18th decmbr is bm day
No interest in SRK n Rohit Shetty Movies, won’t sustain in week days. Both are Copy Paste Ki Dukaan.
It is good to see the initial advance booking report of Dilwale . The most important hurdle in clashes is lack of shows and the division of screens . For Ex. Just imagine if D would have released solo on the same day they would have got at least 20 shows in a single multiplex or even more but now with BM also releasing on the same day D will get 12 or maximum 15 shows which shows a reduction of 5 to 8 shows per multiplex . Also if D would have released solo it would have got 5000 Screens but now it will get 3500 or at the max 4000 Screens which is a reduction of 1000 to 15000 screens all over India . In this way the screens are also divided in Overseas Markets . Realistically i will say the first target for Dilwale should be 200 CR as the screens and the shows will be divided . If goes past 200 comfortably like CE then it will beat the collections of CE . As for BM also the challenge is huge as Dilwale is a bigger movie in terms of Starcast, Genre and Director (Success Ratio) . Many people on Indicine said that Bang Bang underperformed at the Box Office last year . According to me 181 CR with a clash without EDX is mammoth . I can honestly say without the clash BB would have done at least 20 CR more and entered the 200 CR Club . I can see Dilwale doing more than 181 CR unless the movie is extremely pathetic, horrible and creepy which is very difficult . The first day prediction of BM and Dilwale will be the Biggest Challenge for Indicine this year . @ Indicine Pull up your socks . BM and Dilwale this Christmas !!!!!!
Kolkata SRK FAN CLUB..officially recognised by RCE is going to STAR THEATERS for FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW of DILWALE…already tickets are booked…^_^
18 dec Waiting so deadly.
Few Facts for people who are planning to boycott movie -:
An NGO called Make a Wish Foundation works for the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and make their wishes come true. Shah Rukh Khan is a member of the board of directors of Make-A-Wish Foundation in India has been closely involved with this NGO and has consistently come to help them out whenever they have approached him. Many of these little ones wish to meet Shah Rukh Khan and the actor arranges for such kids to be driven to his house and ensures that he spends some quality time with them bringing in joy in their lives.
Seven villages in Odisha, Ahriajpur, Banhipal, Okilapala, Palachua, Rangani, Denlasahi and Gupti, for which Shahrukh Khan became as a Messiah by funding for solar electricity; which was implemented by The Energy and Research Institute (TERI). As per TERI, Shahrukh Khan fully funded to implement the project in these villages of Odisha; where there is no proper communication to reach, people even for 61 years after independence stays dark at night.
Also in 2011,he was honoured with the UNESCO’s Pyramide con Marni award for his charity engagements and social commitment towards providing education for kids thus becoming the first Indian to win the accolade.
This is only few things I have posted…think about a man..before saying something about him..
what a funny thing is this that makers of bajirao are demanding “equal show ratio” in multiplexes. Most of the distributors and audience want Dilwale in theatres this xmas. Will the makers of BM force the distributors to show and audience to watch their movie?? Just imagine how funny would it have been if makers of Haider demanded same screen space as Bang Bang in multiplexes. Fools.
Great
Leakd news
rohit said that he is nt confident abt dullwaale…
Stay away frm crapwaale..
@hrithik and tiger , marked ur both comments…..
Don’t give slack excuses after its release .
see in spite of all hurdles dilwale will earn more than 250 crore in domistic….
and in overseas u have to watch it urself !
haters have tried their best but will not bring a small letdown to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Salman Khan ka #FAN
I liked your comment very much. You forgot to add about Kerala state going on strike. So again losing 110 screens there.
Really wish Dilwale to cross all hurdles. When MNIK was released there were protest and when JTHJ got released again they lost many days in Maharashtra as the business was shut down for 4 days in mourning.
Now again history repeats, but it is widespread with lots of hurdles. However I’m sure SRK will overcome all that as he is someone who did not taste success overnight to get bowled over all this.
Considering Clash and all the other factors, I would say if the film collects 20C on first day, it is huge.
I really regret that bm got on our way
Otherwise the only movie which had the chance to beat pk’s record is none other than dilwale….
bahuut dook hai mujhe
I really regret it ….
” I can’t reveal the plot l but I should tell you Dilwale is Kajol’s Gupt , SRK’s baazigar & Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal. This film will shock you ”

@hrithik:

@ark:
It’s not you. People like #sss predicted so.
Action hain
Mohabbat hain
Thrill hain
Comedy hain
Shahrukh Kajol hain
You can’t miss Dilwale
Its a Complete Entertainer..
BM & SLV are not doing it right… almost a year back DILWALE release date announced .. why BM must have to be released on same date !! it’s pathetic & just shit … Deepika , Priyanka should try to convince SLV to shift the date … Deepika & PC haven’t done this … Both the films will be affected very very very badly by each other … we all SRK fan’s always waited to break PK’s record but ALAS … BM ruined everything by putting nose in it & capturing some screens and shows …. I feel really angry & hopeless …
my prediction is 24cr on 1st day. 1st week 140cr. lifetime 230 to 260cr.
” Had a talk with many distributors who watched Dilwale , Each and everyone of them said this movie is like baazigar. Full of twists and turns . ”

@Sooraj, Excellent Comment.
Who was that bookmyshow.com source?? @Neeraj?? Lol
90% occupancy bcz of less screens compared to BB and PRDP
3500 screen 30+ surely gettable
@ARK, but u r the person who predicted 300 crs storm for HNY. m I right ? and ur predictions goes wrong and collected 100 crs less.
Bang bang did 24.50crs(BOI) on 2nd Oct holiday with clash on 3250 screens..
Can Dilwale cross this figure on a non holiday with similar release size but higher ticket prices??
Hit like for YES
Hit dislike for NO
Dilwale will beat Bajirao Mastani in collections
Dilwale will make more than 200 crore
But Dilwale will not become a classic movie like Bajirao Mastani
This X-Mas Sensible peoples will definitely choose Bajirao Mastani first and blind fans of SRK will waste their time to watch Crapwale
how good advance bookings are won’t decide the lifetime collection of this film its still a tough task for this film to bragged the place in 200cr club… after watching two trailers and some pathetic songs it looks like Rohit shetty is simply copy-pasting various India’s films (Hum/Golmaal/CE) the things which I liked is picturisation of the film n some dialogues instead of this there is nothing to watch out for… talking about music only 2 songs are hearable(Gerua n Janam Janam) while other songs are pathetic… never expect that much weak album from music magician ‘Pritam da’ but truth is truth hope some peoples here agree with me… talking about BM the trailer is just mindblowing even #Indicine gave 9/10 ratings, picturisation, sets, songs, costumes everything is better compared to Dilwale but at the end a Superstar(SRK) is always remain a superstar, he won this Clash for sure but want to see a good fight between both films !!!!!!!!!!
