Saturday is going to be an interesting day, as the battle between Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani seems to have gotten closer. While the morning shows of Dilwale on Saturday were a little lower as compared to Friday, Bajirao Mastani is maintaining yesterdays level and some centres are actually performing better than they did on Friday.
While Dilwale is a film targeted both at the multiplex and single-screen audience, Bajirao Mastani is performing well only at multiplexes – which also means the business of the film will peak towards the end of the day today.
Bajirao Mastani could sneak ahead of Dilwale in the state of Maharashtra and even in cities like Kolkata and Bangalore, the gap has reduced quite considerably – even though Dilwale is still leading.
The percentage of growth for the two films on Saturday, will be something to watch out for. A positive trend will be important for both films.
Meanwhile, Dilwale hasn’t got the kind of release that a big film like it deserves. Back in 2012, it was Yash Raj Films that booked theatres for Jab Tak Hai Jaan using Ek Tha Tiger which released a few months before. Now, it was Eros International that has managed to get quite a few major single screens courtesy Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
It’s not that Bajirao Mastani has benefitted by releasing in these single-screens, as the occupancy levels were very low on Friday, but it has successfully dented the business of Dilwale in these areas. When a film doesn’t get a release in prime areas, it makes a significant dent on business.
In a subtle way, Shah Rukh Khan himself made public his disappointment on not getting enough theatres, when he tweeted “What to do not enough theaters. See it tomorrow please” in response to someone who couldn’t get tickets for the film.
Bajirao Mastani too hasn’t got what it deserves, even though the film has performed very well on Day 1 considering the clash. With a solo release, the film would have probably been closer to the 20 crore mark.
@Babaji ka thullu
oops you got it right but I don’t know much about haider collections so you r right
who said you that Bajirao is bigger film than Haider ?
Is Ranveer singh bigger star than Shaahid kapoor ?
Was Shaahid Kapoor bigger star than Hrithik Roshan in clash ( Bang Bang vs Haider ) ?
Is Ranveer Singh bigger star than SRK in clash ( Dilwale vs Bajirao )
when did Historical/Drama films like Haider, Bajirao become bigger value in term of BOX OFFICE value than just Entertainment films like Bang Bang, Dilwale?
All things that you said are just excuses
Realities are
1, Dilwale > Bajirao
2, SRK > Ranveer Singh
3, Entertainment theme > Historical/Drama theme
4, Hrithik > Shaahid
5, Shahid > Ranveer Singh
6, Slb > Rohit
7, Vishal Bharwaj > Shiddharth Anand
8, Positive WOM Bajirao against most Negative WOM Dilwale
9, Positive WOM Haider against most negative WOM BANG BANG !
10, BANG BANG ! > Haider
Where is between “BANG BANG ! vs Haider” and “Dilwale vs Bajirao” ?
ans … Nothing
Only idiots can compare this clash with bang bang vs haider clash .
Haider was released only in 1200 screens while bajirao got a big release. Also more commercial movie.
Looked at Srk hatter bublings hahaha such a foolish they are today and onward again bm thrashing ….@Shaggy ur star already lost all clashes he never win any clash in his entire career even a newcomer Ranbir kapoor slap him …
Jthj vs sos nemesis being repeated.
Srk fans understand where we are heading
too. Ranveer is not Akki. Srk last clash was an easy rideover Ce. Ranveer will match up with Srk. Don’t underestimate Ranveer. Srk value is falling seriously in his last 3 years his lowest opening day is just slightly over superstar akki highest ever opener. That is really a shame for Srk.
Bad luck team Dilwale
Dilawale is average film. Solely dependent upon SRK & Kajol (JODI) !!! ………….
It will collect near about 180 -190 Crore in India . … I have accurately predicted the collection of BB & PRDP also (320 crore & 205 crore).
Mark my word !!
If negativity is created at such a pace then dilwale will wind up before 3 weeks close to100 cr. Many films like Singh is Bling ,brothers, besharam,welcome back etc wound up below 100 cr inspite of being solo releses and probably having more screens so how can dilwale cross even 120 cr at domestic box office. Shetty’s own Singham returns having solo release, 30 cr opening crashed at 139 cr with more screens and much better response than dilwale.
A good movie should win always!! Great going BM. Congrats Bhansali Sir. SLB is a class director.
Alok Nath’s honest take about both these movies
A. On release date of both the films-
I feel Dilwale should have released on 18th and BM shd have taken any other date.I am not a SRK fan but for the sake of hindi film industry Dilwale had a better chance of utilizing the christmas holiday considering star cast, director and the genre. Even in best case BM wouldn’t have collected more than 20cr. on day and 65cr. over the weekend. On the other hand, Dilwale had serious chance of collecting 30cr+ and 100 cr over the weekend.
B. Movie Review:
BM is good but not great as Indicine said its no Baahubali. All movie goers do watch it once on big screen of multiplex for the grandeur, scale and acting.
Dilwale is a time pass movie made only to break opening records. Khichdi may provide something for everyone but not everything to any and at the end you will feel hungry.Watch it on a single screen with an intention to have a good time.
C. Box office prediction:
Dilwale will definitely collect much more than BM. I hope the gap is not too huge. If the gap is around 50 cr it would be a very good result for everyone associated with the movie.
Final words,
Dilwale- SRK you are a very capable actor pls stop working with Farah, Shetty etc.I will be waiting for your FAN and Raees.
Sanjay leela Bhansali- No one in hindi film industry can capture grandeur and art like you do but it would be nice to spend more time on story and screenplay.
Interesting stat: 10th day collections of BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN (24 cr) with competition from Bahubali were better than 1st day collections of DILWALE (21 cr)
All year SRK fans were busy and absolved in how to bring Salman and his films down that today they’ve been left naked with Dilwale opening ?
BODUGUARD – 21.25C (2800 Screen- 2011)
#Dilwale – 21.50 (3100 screen + highest rate 2015)
It’s called fate….history repeats itself….what an irony….Srk has to taste hiss own mediciene….
Means jthj vs sos clash…(srk won sreen issues….bcz of ett i.e salman’s movie)
now bm vs dilwale clash…(bm won screen issue …bcz of bb i.e salman….)
has anyone notices da common thing ….salman khan….
Is any srkian reading my comment…rofl….
Salman bhai had a bad year in 2008 but since 2009 wanted he has shown complete dominance on the box office while srk has shown only on Twitter and branding coz of his PR team he is not doing well the we he should have remember ETT got same number of screen and very less no of ticket price I mean Dt vinemas cost 350 that time now it is 450 but still 22 crore bullshitt for the movie it was Salman in 2010 who snatched highest box office grosser in 2010 by Dabbang from My name is Khan
Bajirao Mastani is a best historical drama but it has shown some fiction also
Bajirao Mastani is worth watching
All hail The Maratha Warrior for standing upto the Wankhede Hooligan…!
U-turnWale is just a poor poor crappy remake of Hum mixed with the Baghban angle of separated oldies…. was destined to flop.
raees had announced date first on eid sultan should not compete raees. but eid belongs to salman khan there is no essential date available in 2016. its difficult to backoff.
@1:16pm spamZone
Crying foul play but in 2012 your Koyla star blocked all single screens in n around mumbai preventing the much more mass orientated film SOS from earning its true potential. Dont cry sour grapes now you loser
Those who have heart will go for Dilwale. Those who love fun, happiness, winners go for Dilwale.
Losers in life n zombies n depressed people go for Bajirao Mastani…period.
Waah…as per convenience avhi wom comes after weekend ….aur salman k tym par bb weekend ciz of content..not stardom …stardom only first day..see hny opening day….as per srk performance kp changing d parameters ……kabhi to salon kisi baat p tiko….bw second teaser of sultan my b unveiled on d true king’s bdaay….yippee
@jay you moron retard, prdp was a Flo and saved by diwali as it release in 5000 screens and still failed to break HNY’s opening. It was only deewali and solo release with no competition which saved the film otherwise it would have been disaster. Srk hasn’t given a single flop after paheli back in 2005, and Salman gave a flop jai ho only last year. So think 1000 times before you blabber rubbish. If Salman”# movie would have clashed with BM then its opening would have been less than 15 Cr because Salman is such a clash loser that even farseen khan and ran it kapoor also defeated him in the last decade. Akshay and ajay also defeated him. While srk defeated everyone and blew away jaaneman as a disaster. Tahts the power of 1992- onwards ruling megastar the biggest global megastar and a 2010 born local star. Srk is still much more popular than local star Salman and much bigger star than him. Next year raees will beat sultana daku black and blue.
@Anand the pirated, dont forget Salman’s flop ho’s opening only was 17 Cr with solo release and 4000 screens. Aukaat dekhle pehle apne star ki. Dont even dare to comment on global megastar shahrukh khan.
@Shashwat, Salman not only had bad year in 2008, but he struggled for a whole decade from 2000-2009 as a flop star as he was nit even in top-10 and wasn’t even in a condition to compete with the biggest megastar Srk. Even today, srk is much more popular and recognized face worldwide tahn local star Salman. Salman is nothing but an inconsistent loser. He has more flops than hits. That’s peaks that his failure ratio is much bigger than hid success. LOL. Dont even dare to compare the biggest decade struggled and tiny local star to the most successful, most popular and biggest megastar Srk. Let Salman enjoy so called fluke success which is temporary,because within 2 years he will no longer be able to give hits. His time is getting over as prdp’s failure proved it. Despite 5000 screens and solo release, it couldn’t cross 200 cr. Dont show me manipulations. Next year with clash to raees, his aukaat will come out. He is the ultimate clash loser.
dilwale is wrost movie
I watched Bajirao Mastani. And I vomited in theatre itself…..still feel like vomitting if I remember BM….aaakh thoooo
I completely agree with Priya……aaaaakh thooooo….Bhansali edited my role…….I am going for DILWALE
@Chennai Ka Chindhimay : Calm down… its just 1 day of Doobmarnewale release n u r started making excuses, u have suffered more when Lifetime collections come which is even less than Crappy new year(178cr)… and on which world PRDP is flop ?? in Bakrapur/Lungiland ?? If 110cr movie do 215cr is flop for u then what is the verdict of 140cr budgeted Doobmarnewale ?? is it safe to call it as Disaster ?? or anything less verdict than that ??
Better stay in u’r aukaat… and pray for Deshdrohi khan bcoz this time even Tanu weds manu returns record is looking tough !!!!!
and I have a free advice for u go and purchase some burnols bcoz u need it in coming days !!!!!
@beast, ha ha ha. You are very scared aren’t you? Wait for next 15 days and see how Srk will crumble down prdp’s manipulated record. Prdp had a solo release and released in 5000 screens. Dont you even have that sense? Dilwale released in only 3000 screens which is 2000 screens less than prdp. Thanks to diwali, prdp was saved otherwise it would have been bigger flop than jai ho. And dont forget jai ho was a solo release and released in 4000 screens and its opening was only 17 Cr and life time? Only 110 Cr
shame on you. And still you are barking? Wait till the life time collections as it will shatter kick’s life time record. And let Salman clash with a movie like BM and see how so called big opening it gets. It will hardly cross 15 Cr. And life time would be under 100 Cr. Because jai ho without eid, diwali and Christmas proved Salman’s real so called BO power which is nothing but fusssss.. LoL. So better you stay in your aukaat.
Dilwale rocked. Ausumm. Stunts, story and romance,,
Must a watch
Full paisa wasool
I went unconscious after seeing this amount of bloodshed in Bajirao Mastani… Shame on those who are watching this ancient movie. I vomit on those who disagree with me
