[tps_footer]Bollywood films ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’ are nearing their end at the box office, and with the third weekend business it is getting clearer who will emerge as the winner. The first weekend business showed the collections being in favour of ‘Dilwale’ instead of ‘Bajirao Mastani’, but over the next two weekends, the tables have completely turned. Shah Rukh Khan starrer film lost momentum in Indian market due to lack of word of mouth and tough competition from competitor Ranveer Singh’s movie. However internationally, SRK’s film did phenomenally.
