Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale to cross the 100 crore mark at box office today!Author : AZIndia News Desk
Dec 24(AZINS) Technically, Shah Rukh Khan films have mostly recorded few of the highest opening weekend and opening week collections in the past. Although Dilwale could not set such records, considering the fact that it clashed against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Bajirao Mastani, the film is all set to record a great opening week total.
For a film like Dilwale which is more populist and aimed at the family audiences, it's easy to rake up the money. And Dilwale managed to hold on pretty well at the box office on Wednesday as well. After collecting in the range of Rs 9-10 crore over the weekdays, the film added another Rs 8.79 crore to its kitty on Wednesday.
With that the total six day collection of the film stand at Rs 93.39 crore, which is pretty good. While you might think the figures are low, you can't forget that two films released on the same day and both have been putting up a great show at the box office ever since then. Bajirao Mastani too is standing at a 6-day total of Rs 75.63 crore and is expected to rake in more moolah in the second week.
Dilwale and Bajirao Mastani are expected to get a spike in their collections, thanks to the much needed holiday season and it needs to be seen who overpowers whom in the second week. Given that the Christmas season will be on, the second week will give both the films a great boost and will help the films put up a bigger total at the BO.
