Dilwale has collected Rs 21 crore on its opening day at the box office, which is about 10-15% below trade expectations for Friday. The film has performed well across all circuits in India, but the clash factor and division of screens has resulted in the film collecting lesser than it should have.
In comparison, Shah Rukh Khan’s last release Happy New Year collected Rs 44.97 crore on its opening day. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo collected Rs 40.35 crore. Both released on national holidays.
Pre-Eid releases – KICK collected Rs 26.52 crore on its opening day, while Bajrangi Bhaijaan collected Rs 27.25 crore. Both films released during the Pre-Eid period and non-holiday.
Aamir Khan’s PK which released in the same week last year collected Rs 26.63 crore. It got a solo release.
The common factor for all these films is that the screen count was around 30-40% more more, and the number of shows at multiplexes were about 35-40% more. However, the average ticket price of both Christmas releases this year, were increased by around 5-10%, at some places multiplexes even more than that.
There were also reports of some shows getting disrupted in certain parts of the country, due to Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘intolerance’ statement.
All factors considered, it’s a good opening day for Dilwale, but the weekend becomes extremely crucial. When there are two big films, the audience is spoilt for choice. Second day onwards, star power alone can’t bring the audience to theatres.
Both Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani will be dependent on word-of-mouth, the next couple of days will decide who passes the all-important box office test.
#IndicineFBO: Our prediction of Rs 25.4 crore for Dilwale was inaccurate. The film has collected Rs 21 crore, which is a difference of 17%.
Update: SRK has confirmed that the official figure for Day 1 is 21 crore
We have released it already https://t.co/9ChrLIyWMA

lifetime around 150 cr max
Whooooaaaa..
Superb collections considering the clash n BJP factor..
WOM of dilwale is better than BM…
and today trade suggested the figure will b around 20
so DILWALE wont do 65cr in weekend and max 145 to its run
Sorry King of Clash fell on mouth this time
Everyone’s going gaga over BM. I have no idea what made srk release dilwale with a movie directed by sir sanjay leela bhansali. Srk is over.
Lol ….Pre eid release + normal working day + protest from Muslim + bahubali effect = 28cr 1st day bajrangi bhaijaan ….. Nd bb 10th day 24cr nd dilwale opening day 21cr !!
ai ho 16Cr (4000Screen) BB 27Cr (4300Screen) Kick 26Cr (4100Screen) Dilwale 21cr With Clash Only 2800 Screens #DilwaleOpeningDhamaka
Again proof OF KING KHAN’S SUPEREME MEGA CONSISTENT MEGASTARDOM OF CROWDPULLING.
RCE will give the accurate figure.wait and watch.
Dilwale will win the final collections! Sure! :P
Bm will be a flop bcoz of costs (85-90crores)
Dilwale will also perforn below expectations (150-160crores)
@indicine probably screens r almost equal with dilwale having only 200 screens more!! Its srk factor that it has earned 21 cr on a non holiday with lesser screens!
But I have a feeling the end difference between the collections of both films wont exceed say 35-40 crs!! all depends on the weekend figures n monday collections!!
But many sites and some distributors are reporting 23.8 crs .
good collection oversease collection will be huge here in pakistan shows are running houseful seems like dilwale is gonna beat jpna which is pakistan highest grosser 30cr +
red chill fig is 25-26 cr.lyk hny 1st day 45 cr and trade fig is 37.52.
banjarangi bhaijan lyftime 321 cr and trade fig is 318.14.
kick—-4000 screen—-25cr
pk—-4600 screen—-26cr
bb—-3900 screen—-27cr
But see
DILWALE—-2800 SCREEN ONLY+bjp/vhs cancelled many shows in
Maharashtra,Gujarat,mp.—-still earned 22CR WHICH WILL BE GIVEN TO CHENNAI FLOOD RELIEF FUND.
NOW SAY WHO IS BIGGEST MEGASTAR?NON OTHER THAN KING OF BOLLYWOOD—-BADSHAH/KING SRK .
DILWALE IS GETTING POSITIVE REVIEW from everywhere except some few critics who are obsessed with not a well made crap like bm.
My question do you really want so called good ratings to watch A MASALA MOVIE LIKE DILWALE.GO AND WATCH UNLIMITED ENTERTAINMENT YOU’LL GET,IT’S MY GUARENTEE ….
18 dec will be remembered for 2 maha boring films
Where is Deepika’s stardom?????only 12cr?????ha ha ha ha.KING KHAN again proved
WHY HE IS CALLING THE HIGHEST MEGA CROWDPULLER OF BOLLYWOOD.
Bajirao is a very mediocre film being a classic and DILWALE is a best movie being a MASALA MOVIE.same type critics support even saawariya,madras cafe,ouatimd,satyagraha got!but what happened but all of them blown in air.
DILWALE already and stolen from heart.from Monday onwards DILWALE will surely get 50% extra screens anwill kick Bajirao out of theatres.
My friends already watched bm and saying don’t put your money on a untalented oberactor like ranveer,you will regret at last.
Even IMDb also is saying the same,lol.
DILWALE IMDB—-6.7(BEST FOR A MASALA MOVIE)
bm imdb—-6.2(worst for a so called classic masterpiece)
Even some peoples are saying bmis even far worse than bansali’s last torture—-Ram Leela.from that you can surely would have guess what kind piece of crap is bm.you’ll not get a bit entertainment.
and these critics are loving bansali no matters than Rohit shetty made his so well.and the reason they don’t want a good director like slb should be insulted in front of a Masala Director like Rohit Shetty.many Critics given FILWALE higher ratings than bm is the proof of it.and some so calls classic lovers are forcefully saying bm is better but PEOPLE ARE LISTENING DILWALE’S ENTERTAINMENT IS UNIMAGINABLE.
#BM is a good movie and it would do well if they have solo release..
BM has affected the collections of #Dilwale because the no. of screen #BM have will not bring much audience as #Dilwale can….
and #Dilwale had not enough screen than what they wish…
in short both movie effected badly…
#BM suffers losses and #Dilwale suffers losses in SRK stardom
Just one word FLOP…! Weekend will be 65cr. It will struggle to cross Bang Bang collection.
What is the screen count for Dilwale? Some saying it’s 2700-2800 .Is it true?
Indicine, what’s reports today for dilwale plz. I mean box office
SRK fans start saying 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 SRK fans said are just excuses when Dilwale is not performing well at BOX OFFICE .
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 are Differences between “BANG BANG ! vs Haider” and “Dilwale vs Bajirao” ?
ans … Nothing
Dilwale … 21 Cr (oops srk fan)
Now it’s hard for DILWALE to achieve 150 Cr along with Blockbuster BAJIRAO
But tell me how can it be ?
BM occupancy = 35 %
Dilwale occupancy = 70 %
Both released on almost same no. of screens . So collections of Dilwale should be double of BM , i.e, 26 crs . Or the other way , BM should collect half of Dilwale , i.e, 11.5 crs …!
Eros have manipulated badly …!
varun’s badlapur collected 7 cr on day 1 so lets take 5 cr for varun , 5cr for rohit shetty
so 21-10=11
srk’s starpower brings 11 cr to dilwale … lol
accept or not srk movie run for promotion,hype and holoday release .put aside these things then he is same starpower as akki n ajay.
Flop
@indicine u badly trolled all the srkians by that last sentence !!! Rofl !!
IF BAJIRAO BOX OFFICE COLLECTION IS 60% OF DILWALE AT THE END OF RUN THEN BAJIRAO WILL EMERGE AS A WINNER
PK 4000+ screens Rajkumar Hirani solo release outstanding reviews excellent WOM …26.6 cr
Dilwale less than 3000 screens huge clash protests in major centres shows cancellations….still 21cr
only 5.6 cr difference
I feel pity for those people are protesting against the film because of Srk’s comments.
Do they realize Srk has already made crores of money from satellite and music rights and it is the distributors and exhibitors who will be suffering because of the protests
Indicine, your predictions are always wrong for big films.
OMG……I’m xpecting atleast 25cr+.
I think now I have to hide my face for sometime from this site as I’m a SRK Fan.
