In a surprising turn at theaters Dilwale, which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, took an early lead in India earnings, but Bajirao Mastani, which boasts the presence of Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh, steadily whittled down the lead and is now well placed to emerge as the winner – domestically, that is.

A point that needs to be remembered here is that the entries are for comparative purposes only and do not represent the ranking. Interestingly, with good reviews and positive word of mouth Bajirao Mastani, that lagged behind Dilwale during the opening days, has managed to surpass the latter as the days progressed. In fact Bajirao Mastani that collected Rs 34.3 crore over its second weekend has managed to surpass not just Dilwale that collected Rs 21.23 crore but also Salman Khan’s Kick that collected Rs 34.02 crore in the same time frame.
