Bajirao
Mastani
starring
Deepika
Padukone,
Ranveer
Singh
and
Priyanka
Chopra
will
hit
the
screens
tomorrow
(18th
December)
along
with
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Kajol's
Dilwale.
This
is
one
of
the
biggest
clashes
in
the
history
of
Bollywood
and
because
of
it
both
the
movies
have
created
a
lot
of
hype
and
buzz
among
the
audiences.
But
the
big
question
is,
would
Bajirao
Mastani
be
able
to
cross
Dilwale's
box
office
collections?
According
to
initial
reports,
Bajirao
Mastani
will
release
in
2,200
screens
in
India
and
in
the
overseas
market,
Bajirao
Mastani
would
be
released
in
850+
theatres.
Trade
Analyst
Tarun
Adarsh
tweeted
as,
"Eros
goes
HUGE
with
#BajiraoMastani
Overseas,
releasing
in
over
850
screens,
bigger
than
their
last
blockbuster
#BajrangiBhaijaan
[800+]".

&
Katrina
On
The
Verge
Of
A
Breakup:
Is
Deepika
Padukone
Responsible?
Which
means
that
the
extra
number
of
screens
in
the
overseas
market,
would
help
Bajirao
Mastani
get
additional
revenue
into
its
kitty
and
boost
up
its
fight
against
Dilwale.
Coming
back
to
India,
Bajirao
Mastani's
advance
booking
has
led
to
almost,
sold
out
shows
in
the
weekend,
thereby
promising
a
good
start
to
the
movie.
However,
trade
experts
believe
that
both
Bajirao
Mastani
and
Dilwale
will
be
huge
hits.
Talking
about
the
same
Trade
analyst,
Akshaye
Rathi
told
a
leading
website,
"I
can
see
a
Gadar-Lagaan
kind
of
a
scenario
here
as
both
the
film
have
a
phenomenal
buzz
around
them.
They
look
like
huge
hits
to
me.''
As
per
experts',
Deepika
Padukone's
Bajirao
Mastani
will
earn
somewhere
between
13-20
Crores
while
Shahrukh
Khan's
Dilwale's
collections
will
be
around
25-27
Crores
on
its
first
day.
As
far
as
weekend
is
concerned,
Rohit
Shetty's
film
can
easily
collect
90-100
Crores
or
more
while
Bajirao
Mastani's
collections
may
be
around
65-70
Crores.
Recently,
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
organised
a
special
screening
of
Bajirao
Mastani
for
his
family
and
close
friends
and
those
who
have
watched
the
movie
are
saying
that
it
will
be
a
huge
blockbuster
as
it
is
Sanjay's
best
work
till
date.
Also
Eros
Now
(Production
house)
has
given
many
good
films
this
year
like
Badlapur,
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns,
NH10
and
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
so
it
is
expected
that
even
their
latest
release,
Bajirao
Mastani
will
rock
the
box
office.
