New Delhi: This weekend Box office witnessed the biggest clash of the year with the release of Bajirao Mastani and Dilwale. Before the two movies hit the theatres, it was anticipated that Shah Rukh's stardom will overpower the magnum opus from Sanjay Leela Bhansali but surprisingly the tables have turned around.
Bajirao Mastani starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone is gaining immense appreciation from the audiences while Shah Rukh-Kajol's Dilwale is getting mixed reactions.
Though, Shah Rukh's star power is well reflected in the box office collections which stand at Rs 65.09 crore in the opening weekend. On the other hand, Bajirao Mastani raked in Rs 46.77 crore but the response from audiences and positive reviews are helping the movie gain momentum.
And now, the Bollywood has come forward to hail Bajirao Mastani and its stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The Twitter wall of both the actors is filled with the appreciation messages from big stars.
From Hema Malini to Anil Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan to Juhi Chawla everyone is pouring in praises. Even film makers Prakash Jha and Pritish Nandy and sports stars Saina Newhwal and Virender Sehwag have admired Ranveer Singh for his splendid display of Peshwa Bajirao.
And if talk about Dilwale, the Rohit Shetty directorial was unable to convince the B-town biggies, as we can hardly see any positive words from the Bollywood. Touted as King Khan, superstar Shah Rukh's latest flick is not welcomed well by the audiences this time.
Here's what stars tweeted about Bajirao Mastani
1. Hema Malini
2. Saina Nehwal
3. Mika Singh
4. Juhi Chawla
5. Hrithik Roshan
6. Shekhar Kapoor
7. Pritish Nandy
8. Anil Kapoor
After reading these tweets it would not be an exaggeration to say that Bajirao Ranveer has defeated Dilwala Shah Rukh Khan in the intense Bollywood battle.
