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

The ones who are protesting against these movies are the most intolerant people in India.
Jai Ho-16.5Cr (4OOO Screens) PK-26Cr (4OOO Screens) BB-27Cr (42OO Screens) Dilwale-21Cr (28OO’Screens,Clash And Protests)
Good opening day collection..and there is no manipulation..so haters please shut up because collection is less than boi.. boi- 21.5 cr..
Don’t give any excuses
At the time of bang bang, you should give excuses for box-office.
Dilwale is bad film , you have to accept it.
BAJIRAO is very good film it has potential to put good numbers in coming days.
Now
Dilwale = 155cr mx lifetime
BAJIRAO = 125cr min lifetime
Dilwale 2900-3000 screens ,protests, shows cancellations, major clash…21 cr
PK 4000+ screens solo release Rajkumar Hirani outstanding reviews n excellent WOM…26 cr
a mere 5 cr difference

Dilwale 21-22 crores with 3000 screens!!
Salman’s Jai Ho collected 16 crores with 4000 crores and Aamir’s Pk collected 26 crores with 4300 odd screens.also directed by the biggest director of the country
Clearly indicates who’s the King of opening
21 crores opening day is good considering clash and normal Friday.
Just a thought.
If BM wouldn’t have released today, then Dilwale would have got 40% more screens, day 1 would be above 30 crores (as 60%=21, so 100% = 35) so let’s assume that not everyone who saw BM would see dilwale, but it would be near or around 30 crores which would be excellent on a working day.
SLB man, you ruined both movies- as BM would have to see a major growth to just recover costs, forget earning profits for the producers. If it would relese on some other day without a clash, the opening would be around 20 crores (as pointed out by indicine)
What was the point of clashing?
DISASTER all the wayyyy
BM rocks…..
Good opening with clash
Now @indicine is in wait for official figures from red chillies. Means indicine is still not believing that Dilwale collected less what he expected.
We can understand @indicine, every Shahrukh fan will feel the same.
Red chillies are also not releasing figures because they are confused that how much they need to manipulate. 26, 29, 38 or 46 this time?
LoL
@THE Phenomenal idiot: do u believe every screen across india has the same capacity and ticket rates?LOL
outstanding collection despite mixed wom, 880 shows of dilwale cancelled due to protest of bjptards, huge competition from bajirao mastani, 40 percent lower screens than other big movies, non holiday, all single screens booked by cheater eros and slb and cold weather still huge box office number almost double than bhajipav mastani. srk yet again proved that why he is no 1. and respect for rce and srk for giving honest collection.
BM has been praised everywhere. Dilwale rejected and becomes a disaster.
Just Look at SRK’s TL… He is Behaving Like Gurmeet Ram Rahim :D :D Cheap paid Publicity :D :D Replying to some silly Pics Posted by Mal-Nutrioned Paid Fans :D :D .. And Now he is Doing #AskSRK … Oh God.. Thats why Salman khan is the Real and Biggest Megastar with Raw Stardom.. His Promotion is anyways very Less..Only Tv shows and stuff and After the Movie Releases he dont even care about it… He will be Busy in his Life while his Movies Do wonders..No Rreplies,No Ask Session,No Going to Shows after Movie Release,no Cheap Gimmicks.. Same Goes For Aamir Khan..
And 21 cr on day one in 3000 screens ? Bodyguard did 22.50 in 2700 screens in 2011.. Bajrangi did 24 crore on 10th Day.. Coming with Mass Masala Movie and Such Performance ? Yeah Man no Deepika :D :D …
Anyways,Pride comes before the Fall..Sr and his Fans had too Much Pride… The Fall Begins… Dilwale will Crash totally on Monday…
@HRO Do you have idea about budget and grandeur.BM is made at thrice the budget of Haider also starring PC and Deepika
So, it is just 21 crores.. Lower than Bodyguard that also faced competition from Meri Brother Ki Dulhan, a YRF film starring top heroine of the time.
LOL at the stardom of this Ram Lal.
These bjp bhakts are so velle.It is really a sad situation in the country when u can disrupt the showing of any movie if a group of goons are against it
now SRK has to rethink about releasing 2 movies next year!!!
only Akshay can pull off 4-5 movies a year, with maximum recovery and hit to a producer.
srk..please dont copy him. even during a festival season, he cant make a successful movie.
pathetic. time to retire oldie!!
This film is an epic Flop!
Sorry Srk fans,could’nt watch Dilwale as I promised coz Dilwale has been banned in my city across all theatres.I had booked the ticket on thursday itself but got my refund.
Really disappointed seeing such hooliganism by pseudo nationalists retards.
I was the first one to comment at 4:45 pm and still my comment is awaiting moderation. Please post it!
@Challa, why didnt you ask the same question to the Owaisi and his followers that protested against Jai Ho just because Salman flied Kites with Modi? Double standard!
Finally 1st day 21 cr hahaa look at the reaction of srk fan like @sss @javed @xzone …indicine prediction wrong badly nd now indicine lbo come nd say lifetime collection of dilwale 165 cr only verdict above avg..!!
Why so double standard indicine? You never ever believed in trade figures so why only this time you published the trade figures even before the producers’ figuers are published?
Anyways today nd tomorrow will be important for both the film’s !!
