3100 Screens for Dilwale & Day 1 just 21 Cr?

Dilwale grossed 21 crore nett on its first day with stroong performance in South and East India. In Bihar, West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu / Kerala it beat the opening day figures of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which was a big national holiday.

Nizam / Andhra, Mysore and Orissa also saw excellent numbers. The business in Maharashtra was worst as here it was a real clash and the figures of Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani were similar with some multiplexes in Mumbai city and Pune being lower than Bajirao Mastani. The film collected very well in single screens as Bajirao Mastani could not perform in single screens outside Maharashtra but even here the problem was that in some areas the better collecting single screens were with Bajirao Mastani.

Dilwale has had a very good first day with collections of 21-22 crore nett as per early estimates. The film was also affected by some disruptions in Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat but still its a big number going by the release. A full out release could have seen a 30 core nett number on a non holiday or at least very close to it.

The film has scored very well in South India and East India. The numbers in Nizam / Andhra, Mysore, Tamil Nadu / Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Orissa are excellent as release was a bit more normal with number of screens near to what it would have got normally. South India and West Bengal are also due to the Shahrukh Khan factor.

The rest of the country has seen good collections rather than excellent due to screens being less due to the clash with Bajirao Mastani. Delhi/ UP has been hit for 1 crore due to Bajirao Mastaani getting the best single screens even though it has poor collections on them.

Bajirao Mastaani has grossed around 11.5-12 crore nett as per early estimates. It is a low number but if you take into account the clash with Dilwale and the cast its not too bad. Obviously for the costs involved the film needed a much higher number. The film has done well in Maharashtra but rest of the country has not performed with UP and East India having very dull collections. The film was also affected by some disruptions in Maharashtra. It is a 15-16 crore nett number on fair value if it was a solo release which is actually what it needed as a minimum to go towards recovery.

There was a Tamil and Telugu version of the film which is a total disaster with collections even lower than the same version of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which also suffered a similar fate.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BOI says it would've collected 30cr if it was a solo release which is more thaN Bajrangi Bhaijaan and P.K.

21cr is excellent cosidering Bajrangi collected 27cr with 4500 screens without a clash and P.K 26 crore with 4200 screens without a clash...

What did you expect??30cr with 2800 screens on a working day with a clash???Logical to baat kiya kar kabhi..
