Box Office Report: Early Estimates for Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani Out
Dilwale vs Bajirao Mastani was indeed the most anticipated Box Office Clash of 2015. The D-Day is finally here and we bring to you numbers from the war zone.
That Dilwale is performing better than Bajirao Mastani is something that many know, despite the former opening to mixed reviews whereas the latter winning immense critical acclaim.
As per early estimates that our coming our way, Dilwale seems to be scoring in the range of Rs. 21-22 crores on Day 1 while Bajirao Mastani will collect around Rs. 11.5-12 crores.
According to trade reports, the Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon starrer is performing well in Nizam/Andhra, Mysore, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Orissa region. Due to disruptions in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan region, the film's collections have been affected, which otherwise would have been in the range of Rs. 30 crores.
The collections are low as compared to Salman Khan's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan which earned Rs. 39 crores and Rs. 26.50 crores respectively. But then again, the two films released on the festive weekends of Diwali and Eid. Dilwale is far behind the first day collections of Shah Rukh's previous film Happy New Year, which made Rs. 42 crores on its day 1. But that also released on the holiday weekend of Diwali.
Bajirao Mastaani on the other hand, has grossed around 11.5-12 crore nett, which was expected, given the clash with Dilwale. The period drama too got affected by the disruptions in Maharashta and has also shown dull collections in Uttar Pradesh and other East India regions. Interestingly, the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film are a total disaster with collections even lower than the same version of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which also suffered a similar fate.
