According to reports almost 1,40,000 people went in to watch ‘Dilwale’ during its opening weekend on Thursday and Friday. Whereas only around 78,000 people chose to watch ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’. ‘Bajirao Mastani’ is also in the race but is far behind at only around 40,000 people approximately choosing the film over the other two releases. Well one of the reasons can be that ‘Dilwale’ is a light hearted romantic comedy drama whereas Star Wars: The Force Awakens is full blown action drama.

Well interestingly in India, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ was postponed altogether in order to avoid getting involved in the already ongoing clash between ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’.

Hence the Hollywood film will be releasing on December 25, 2015 in India. Let’s see how the film performs in India compared to ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’.[/tps_footer]
