Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale has shown a bigger than expected decline at the domestic box office on Monday. For the first time, the film has dropped below the collections of the other release last weekend, Bajirao Mastani.
In previous clashes, Om Shanti Om was always ahead of Saawariya and Jaan-e-Mann never managed to beat Don. In 2012, Son Of Sardaar did manage to beat Jab Tak Hai Jaan, but it was only on the 7th day i.e after the holiday period was over. Also, both films received a mixed response. (Also read: Jab Tak Hai Jaan vs Son of Sardaar)
In the current clash between Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale, the former has managed to overtake the later on the 4th day itself and the holiday period is yet to begin. The other factor in favour of Bajirao Mastani is the reports that it’s carrying – even on social media, celebrities have gone all out to praise the film. The trade for some reason, is not backing the SRK film this time around.
From the paying public point of view; until now, during most festival seasons, they had only one choice. It’s either a Khan movie or nothing at all. This time around, there was a Rohit Shetty entertainer, a timepass film against a Sanjay Leela Bhansali historical masterpiece that everyone seems to be liking and appreciating.
Star value and fan wars aside, for the normal moviegoer who has to spend upwards of 400 rupees per multiplex ticket, the choice was obvious.
The big task for Dilwale is to hold strongly in the next 2 days. It’s from Thursday evening that the holiday season will begin and if Dilwale has to take advantage of the big Christmas holiday, it has to boost the confidence of exhibitors by showing no more than 10% drops in the next couple of days.
The film is still performing well in a few circuits, especially at mass centres. The footfalls of Dilwale on Monday was more than Bajirao Mastani, but the places where it’s performing well, the ticket prices are on the lower side. The bigger centres have shown alarming drops and it’s here where Bajirao Mastani has taken the lead.
Yes, there are a few shows that have been cancelled, others have been disrupted. SRK has also said that the family audience is scared to come to theatres. All this is true, but the fact remains – things have only improved in the last few days, which in other words also means the hold on Monday should have been better than it was.

first of all no doubt that both are really very good films in der own genres,secondly bm is just ahead by point values than Dilwale and hatters are considering BM as a winner..seriously..Are u really scared of SRK’s success and not considering all the odds which DILWALE is fighting? in Manglore not even a single show of dilwale is running due to protest and y don’t u consider overseas reports, are they ppl mad to see Dilwale where BM is not even near DILWALE . Stop being ignorant guyz and just enjoy both the films.

@3:14pm SpamZone
Or the real reason industrywale are not supporting global queen is bcoz they simply cannot stomach the man who is so so damn right rude obnoxious overzealous n supremely jealous of others success n has spent 2 decades belittling others that today they thinking “good let the buddha have a taste of his own medicine….!”
Thats the real reason- they dont love Queen just like syrians dont love Asad or your buddies ISIS…!
@Aunt 7:07 pm : I expected something called “Sensibility” from someone like you, that was my biggest mistake.
Join the campaign with your beloved “Chuha the Real Jack” and save him from being my slave.
But as of now , the scenario is, neither you nor your chuha has answers of my questions .
So keep on blabbering, but still open challenge for you oldie.
Prove my U-turn with proof if you have guts.
@Aunt : btw, why don’t you reply me here :

I have put piles of proofs for you. Come and answer me instead of spouting shit.
time is over now
Well I am a big fan of Salman. but I would like to tell all Salman fans who are bashing srk to shut their tiny mouth because srk is still one of the biggest superstars and everyone have to accept that and respect him. Everyone goes to worst phase of their career even Big B also was facing a very bad phase in 1990s, but see how smashing come back he has made. So stop showing disrespect to srk who has achieved so much be it best actor awards, success in India and abroad for consistently 23 years and still strong. His films still dont flop. And even though I am Salman fan, I would like to admit that Salman also was nothing in the last decade. And one has to admit. Sorry, Salman, I cant be your blind fan, but truth has to be spoken. Salman indeed was giving back to back flops from 2000-2010. So we Salman fans are nobody to insult a much bigger star and much more consistent star than our idol who is still ruling as one of the top superstars. I would admit that srk and aamir are most consistent superstars even though I am a big Salman khan fan. Period.
@moviebuff 3.15 pm
Good comment …good cinema shld win…coz dn we d paying public wld win
Others who r comparing WD PRdp overseas..it did good business overseas…
And srk fans who r saying ki trade not supporting srk…D’s DAT…..dey r showing full support…read d commentary everywhr…dilwale worldwd D’s DAT…together both films record openers….basically sugarcoating…. Had it been akki it wld HV bn criticised ki such big movie shld HV better collections….anyways next tym u guys show disrespect SK or SK fans at least try not to bring d masses down by ur stupid comments… Salman k fans hain jo rikshawale hai…Jo barber hai…tumhare star k nai hai toh chill…Jo laundry wale hai…Jo mere jaise job wale hai….Jo retired hai…Jo bachey hai…Jo student hai…Jo teacher hai…Jo upcoming actors hai…Jo garib hai…Jo amir hai..Jo middle class hai…drz a connect…tra srk hogaa badaa star….apna salman kisi se kam nai…naa tab tha in so called media bad phase naa ab hai at his peak…baaki healthy banter is always welcome
@sss well said. Not only emraan and ranbir but even fardeen khan’s movie also defeated him in clash. Prdp would have been a big flop if it clashed with even tushar kapoor’s movie. That shows that how Salman badly depends on solo release and festivals as jai ho despite solo release was a big disaster without festival holidays. That’s shows his real so called stardom. Fact is his movies release solo on big festivals that’s why somehow he is getting away but once he will face clash even go a tushar kapoor then it will be a flop. So srk is still much bigger than him. Also please watch KKHH 3 in which even a flop star tushar kapoor trolled Salman and his bhojpuri director suraj and their torturous crap films. I bet you you will love it.
high time we realise that its not stars, but films that really win or lose box office battles!
Yet Indicine will call it ‘..bigger than expected decline…’ but it will call it ‘it CRASHED.’
And the Biggest Film of the year has become A Timepass Rohit Shetty Entertainer even for Indicine. Lol
Rohit Shetty Off-Loads Trash @100 Tons Per Hour…
Ram Lal washes clothes @100 Pieces Per Hour…

Rofl..Bro That FoxZone needs to be banged hard on his head.. Keep doing it…
@FoxZone Enslaved by Tiger, you are insane dude.
“The trade for some reason, is not backing the SRK film this time around.”
You are blaming Salman and his groups for dismal performance of Dilwale? You have proven a certified idiot.
Dont you see how much Salman has been promoting the film? Now you be honest.
When you keep blaming others for your own failure even when they are responsible (obviously that is not the case with Dilwale), you can never better yourself and improve your works further.
Who asked to SRK to give statement on intolerance and keep reminding them about it apologetic statements that only added salts to the injuries of the people?
Who asked to deliberately clash with BM when he knew that BM had declared the date first?
Every film has its own pros and cons. BM has also faced protests.
Fanaa, Jai Ho, PK, Even MPKK faced such incidences.
So accept the fact Dilwale was a trashy and rehashed film although it had some moments to laugh.
Here, one thing has become clear: it is always the better film that wins in the clash. Starpower: Not to that extent!
If your king is the King of Clash, he must have led Ranveer by a mile in the race nwas Dilwale took the bigger opening.. Now he is losing..
Bite this bitter truth.. Dont be a fox or you will eternally be enslaved by the Tiger.
Dil ko behlaane ke liye Khayal accha hai Ghalib :
SRK fans are signing about Salman’s worst phase. Idiots/Fools it will not help SRK or Dilwale to collect more but you find some solace go for it but no one cares about it because Salman Khan is currently THE ULTIMATE MEGASTAR after LEGEND AAMIR KHAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SRK is punny star to whom even kal ka chokra Ranveer bit the dust to him.
PRESENT >>>>>> PAST !!!!!!!!
Too much fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@navin:
Actually Bajirao mastani’s success does a “Kala Jaadoo” on my ghulam. I am taking care of him. He will be in shape soon…!!
