‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ was released worldwide on December 18, 2015 but in order to avoid getting involved in the ongoing clash of ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, the film was postponed for a week in India. However even that doesn’t seem to be helping much since audiences are still preferring the Bollywood releases over this relatively lesser known Hollywood release. In fact performance has been lower than few of the previous Hollywood releases also. This can also be due to the less number of screenings as it is facing competition from not one but two major releases.
