According to a report by Box Office India, the film, which is a regular on TV and is available on streaming platforms as well, collected approximately Rs 25 lakh net from the three big chains- PVR, Inox, Cinepolis.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge saw nearly 23,000 admissions on the day, a stunning feat for a film so widely watched for the last 27 years. DDLJ was also screened at lower tickets rates of Rs 112 and saw many of its shows across the country going houseful. The film will continue to screen on Thursday as well, but on lesser screens.
According to trade, the footfalls and collections of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge point towards the stardom of Shah Rukh Khan, who is now keenly awaited by the audience to return to the big screen next year with three feature films.
