The last Bollywood battle of 2015 has begun...
The most awaited bollywood battle of 2015 began yesterday with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' and Rohit Shetty's 'Dilwale' hitting the theatres. More than being a filmmaker fight, these two movies are more in limelight due to the star studded castings with the famous romantic duo Srk and Kajol coming together after years on one side and the power packed love triangle between Ranvir, Priyanka and Deepika.
Although, both these movies are from totally different era, they received mixed responses from critics as well as audiences, Bajirao definitely has an edge over Dilwale, due to the enchanting grandeur sets and a well selected periodic drama from Indian history. Bhansali's work to perfection has been appreciated in many of his movies except the debacle in Sawariya. This time if things go well it may be close to a masterpiece with excellent performances by all three main actors. The film though lacks good music as expected from Bhansali but over all it is a good watch.
Dilwale brings us the flavor of old romance with a back drop of revenge and hatred, but it is far from the magic created by DDLJ. Music is not that good, except the romantic song 'gerua' however does not leave a long lasting impression. The movie is totally rolling on Srk and Kajol's fan base.
As both these movies are big budget, it is for time to tell which one will finish first in terms of box office collections. Looking at yesterday's collection, Bajirao managed to earn around 13 crores on the opening day. Both are neck in neck and since the Srk starrer has managed to grab more screens this time, probably since PVR is a major partner in marketing Dilwale, it could be that Dilwale will finish first due to its screen count.
With no new big budget or hollywood movies round the corner this holiday season, it is expected that both these will do good business but may fall short of being a Bahuabali or a Bajrangi Bhaijaan at the box office. Do share which movie did you watch this weekend or both?
