[tps_footer]Bollywood films ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ have entered their second weekend phase and surprisingly the first week has together been less than Salman Khan‘s ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Both the films are big budget movies with a budget bigger than that of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. However, ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ put together could not beat the first week collections of Salman Khan‘s film despite the huge Christmas holiday factor. ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ released during Eid and also had few holidays in between, but ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ both have more number of screenings hence the holiday factor is immaterial.

Aamir Khan’s film ‘PK’ that released during 2014 Christmas also had similar collections of Rs. 181 crores net approx after its first week at the box office. However this year two films are sharing the business which together also could not beat the previous records.

Now that the first week business of both films has failed to affect any records set previously, breaking the overall record set by Salman Khan this year is out of the question.
