Though the film did descent business in the initial days, it started seeing a dip soon!
Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dilwale was undoubtedly one of the most talked about films of 2015. Firstly because it brought SRK and Kajol together on the big screen after more than five years and also because it clashed with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream project Bajrao Mastani starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.
Though the Bajirao Mastani beat Dilwale in the domestic box office collections, the SRK-Kajol film did quite well at the international box office. Dilwale’s total box office collection in India and overseas has crossed the Rs 350 crore mark. At a recent event, the Fan actor admitted that he was disappointed with Dilwale’s performance at the box office.
Shah Rukh said, “I don’t think the film has done as well as it should have. I am personally disappointed with that.” Adding to this the actor said, ”To be honest, it has perhaps not done as well in India as I would like it to do. But overseas it has done very well in a lot of countries like Germany, Austria. It is quite thrilling that Indian films are reaching far and wide. There is a lot of business opportunities.”
