SRK’s ‘Dilwale’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’ have completed their third WEEKEND at the Box Office and Bajirao Mastani has emerged as a clear winner.
Although ‘Dilwale’ opened well, it couldn’t sustain due to poor word of muoth while ‘Bajirao Mastani’ took decent start and went on to pile up over the next two WEEKENDs.

‘Dilwale’ surrended to ‘Bajirao Mastani’ in Indian market, which is a setback for SRK.
