The film sees a drop again on the second Monday…
Dilwale, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, opened very well, but it has been dipping since the first Monday. The film had an average occupancy during the weekdays and it dipped more over the second weekend. At the end of the second weekend the film had earned Rs 123.88 crore. It added another Rs 3.5 crore on the second Monday to take its total to Rs 127.38 crore.
However, the film has witnessed a huge dip. The film had collected Rs 10.09 crore on the first Monday and Rs 7.12 crore on the second Sunday. Rs 3.5 crore is the least amount the film is collected till now. Ranveer Singh’s Bajirao Mastani, on the other hand, collected Rs 5.60 crore on the second Monday. Bajirao Mastani has out-performed Dilwale since the first Monday collections.
Dilwale received mixed reviews and while the audience liked the film initially, it seems the film has no takers now. The film is set to drop further over the weekend and it might not be able to take advantage of the potential to earn big. There is no release till January 8, but Dilwale might just wrap up before that.
The film has had a huge percentage decline from the 1st weekend figure to the second weekend figures, as explained by trade analyst Taran Aadarsh, “Decline in biz from 1ST WEEKEND to 2ND WEEKEND: #Dilwale 67.38%, #BajiraoMastani 26.66% India biz.”
However, Dilwale continues to do well at the international box office. It is heading toward $ 1 million (Rs 6.61 crore) in Australia and $ 5 million (Rs 33.08 crore) in the USA & Canada markets.
