Maybe they just want to be on his “like” list so they can keep abreast of his latest antics. Trump said he didn’t do it for the polls, so he doesn’t care what the polls say.

What Rohit describes as “ban” was not actually ban. There were numerous protests from number of smaller organizations however at many locations against the film. At some places, shows were as-it-is, but there were no people. The film narrates the story of the Maratha warrior Peshwa (Prime Minister) Bajirao I of the Maratha Empire and his second wife Mastani.

To be sure, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale had a number of positives going for it, from presence of megastar himself to greater number of screens booked, but what has provided Bajirao Mastani a leg-up is the presence of Deepika Padukone who has a number of Rs 100 cr movies to her name, aside from Ranveer Singh and a ticking storyline in a period thriller.

He added, “The response has been phenomenal and we did work really hard for it. I don’t know how to react…”

On Monday (day 4), while Dilwale box office collections fell to Rs 10.09 crore, Bajirao Mastani collections saw it actually beat SRK for the first time since release by earning Rs 10.25 crore – surely, a significant achievement.
