Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’ has been going strong at the box office and has collected Rs. 149.35 cr . Challenging its contemporary, ‘Dilwale’ starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, the film has come out with flying colours at the box office.

There was a slight dip in the collections of the movie on Saturday (December 26) which was Rs. 10.30 cr and the Sunday (December 28) collections again went up to Rs. 11.75 cr. On Monday, the movie grossed Rs. 5.60 cr, Rs. 5.40 cr on Tuesday, Rs 5.05 cr on Wednesday, Rs. 5.35 cr on Thursday and Rs. 7.50 cr on Friday.

Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh who had earlier tweeted saying that the gap between the two has been narrowing as ‘Bajirao Mastani’ has picked pace in the second week, tweeted:

The tables have turned. #BajiraoMastani leads, #Dilwale slows. Gap between the total narrows. #BajiraoMastani to overtake soon. India biz.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has once again proved his efficiency with ‘Bajirao Mastani’. The film which faced bans in certain parts of the country has carved out its part and it yet going strong. With another day of this weekend, we might as well see the total collections going even higher.
