Can this be added to the box office section, it was removed by the same user who continues to revert all my edits and does not even say why.

The film garnered some of the highest collection of box office returns in Malaysia during its opening. The film has enjoyed immense popularity in the country and has led to the '5 Minutes Date' scene in the film becoming a trend amongst teenagers in the country, where individuals date for only five minutes.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: Your wording seems to be overly puffy may not adhere to the neutral point of view. In addition, the mnetion of the 5 minute date seems off topic and un-needed. --allthefoxes (Talk)  19:33, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to protect this page from deletion so it would not qualify as "puffy". The inclusion of the "5 minute" scene is to show the impact the film has had on its audience in Malaysia. I'm not sure how this piece of information does not convey a "neutral point of view" because it's not written in a way that implies a biased point of view. I'm not changing the box office numbers here, I'm just trying to show the impact the film has had in the country. (58.164.102.34 (talk) 06:01, 23 January 2016 (UTC))
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: I'm in agreement with allthefoxes. "Immense popularity" is subjective fluff. Also, there is no context that explains the scope of the popularity of the "5 minute dating" inspired by the film. The reference provided says blandly "Oh, and the ‘5 Minutes Date’ has also become trendy, amongst teenagers." No scope. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:37, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Dilwale (translation: The Big Hearted) is a 2015 Indian romantic action comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty, and produced by Gauri Khan and Rohit Shetty under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment and Rohit Shetty Productions respectively.

The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles, with Johnny Lever and Varun Sharma in supporting roles.

Cast

 * Shah Rukh Khan as Raj Randhir Bakshi/Kaali
 * Kajol as Meera Dev Malik
 * Varun Dhawan as Veer Randhir Bakshi
 * Kriti Sanon as Ishita Dev Malik
 * Varun Sharma as Sidhu
 * Johnny Lever as Mani Bhai
 * Sanjay Mishra as Oscar Bhai
 * Mukesh Tiwari as Shakti, Sidhu's brother
 * Pankaj Tripathi as Anwar
 * Boman Irani as King
 * Vinod Khanna as Randhir Bakshi
 * Kabir Bedi as Dev Malik
 * Nawab Shah as Raghav, Malik's right-hand
 * Chetna Pande as Jenny, Sidhu's girlfriend (Oscar Bhai's sister)

Development
In January 2015, Rohit Shetty announced a project with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead which would be their second collaboration after the 2013 film Chennai Express. Shetty stated that he would start filming in March 2015. Shetty paired actress Kajol with Khan, making it the seventh time they were cast opposite each other. He also signed actor Varun Dhawan who was reportedly playing Khan's brother while actress Kriti Sanon was signed opposite him.

Filming
Principal photography began on 20 March 2015 with Dhawan in Goa. Khan and Kajol first joined the crew for filming in Bulgaria from June 2015. Later that month, the first song from the film was shot on Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, in Bulgaria. The schedule there was wrapped up by late July. In August 2015, a romantic song featuring the lead pair was shot in Iceland. The entire team then left for Hyderabad in early September to shoot what was touted to be the final schedule of filming. However, the work in Hyderabad was completed by late October, and filming officially came to an end with a brief schedule in Goa, the same location where it was started. In December, after the promotions had commenced, another song was shot in haste. It featured all four lead actors and had to be played simultaneously with the end-credits.

Release
Dilwale was released in the United Arab Emirates a day before its worldwide release on 18 December 2015. The film was released in around 3100 screens in India.

The satellite rights of the film were sold to Sony Pictures Networks as part of a deal worth inr 220, along with the next two or three Red Chillies Entertainment productions. The valuation of Dilwale alone was approximately inr 600000000.

On 14 December 2015, in the United Kingdom, the film received a 12A classification from the British Board of Film Classification for "moderate violence". The film's UK distributor chose to remove thirteen seconds in order to obtain this rating (the excised material being scenes involving stronger violence than possible for a 12A rating). An uncut 15-rated version is available.

Music
Dilwale's film score is composed by Amar Mohile with songs composed by Pritam Chakraborty and lyrics written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Dilwale, the film's soundtrack album, was composed by Pritam Chakraborty. A track titled "Gerua" was released on November 18, 2015 as the first single prior to the soundtrack album's release. The second single to be released was "Manma Emotion Jaage". The album features seven tracks, and was released on 4 December 2015. Sony Music India acquired the music rights of the film for a record inr 190000000.

The song "Gerua" also had different versions. An Arabic version called "Telagena" was released on 11 December 2015 while a Malay version entitled "Warna Cinta" featuring vocals from Aliff Aziz was released later on 18 December 2015.

Track listing
All lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Critical reception
Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave the film 4/5 stars, saying, "On the whole, Dilwale is akin to a mouthwatering meal that satiates the craving of those who relish masalathons, besides being an absolute treat for SRK-Kajol fans. An unadulterated crowd-pleaser, Dilwale delivers what you expect from a Rohit Shetty film: King-sized entertainment. Go for it!". Komal Nahta in his review of the film said, "Dilwale is a masala entertainer from the start till the end." Rachit Gupta from Filmfare gave it 4/5 stars and added, "Dilwale is the quintessential popcorn flick. It’s colorful, bright and entertaining. It smartly keeps its play on the SRK-Kajol chemistry (watch out for the brilliant ending). It has fantastic music. Decent laughs too. Definitely worth a dekho." Sarita A Tanwar of DNA gave the film 3/5 stars, saying "Dilwale is flawed, but it's right for those who believe that love does conquer it all, actually."

Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today also rated the film 3/5 and concluded, "Dilwale is immensely enjoyable despite an oh-my-god-this-is-so-predictable story. Keep your brains out of the picture, and you have an out-and-out entertainer which fits perfectly in the mould of a guilty pleasure. Go indulge!" Shubha Shetty-Saha of Mid Day gave the film 3 stars as well and said, "Watch this for the chemistry between SRK and Kajol which refuses to simmer down even after all these years." Meena Iyer from The Times of India gave the film 3/5 stars, criticizing the plot, and stated, "Dilwale leans heavily on Shah Rukh's mega-stardom, Varun's effervescence, breathtaking locales (Iceland and Bulgaria), orchestrated car chases and over-the-top situations, which have you chuckling."

NDTV felt that the film's plot "went in circles" and that while Kajol was great, the film overall failed to appeal. The Economic Times gave the film 2.5/5 stars and felt that it "lacked soul and freshness" and stated that it would only appeal to fans of Khan and Kajol. Rajeev Masand of IBN Live gave the film 2 out of 5 and said, "The real problem with Dilwale is the sheer artificiality of the enterprise. From the rainbow-hued sets and the touched-up landscapes in the Gerua song, to many moments of comedic and emotional payoff, so much of it just feels fake." Namrata Joshi of The Hindu commented, "With Dilwale, Rohit Shetty goes hopelessly wrong despite much that he had at his disposal, including a power-packed cast and producer". Joshi also felt that the attempt to repackage Khan and Kajol had backfired. Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film a 1.5/5 rating and called the plot "highly predictable".

Box office
Dilwale made around inr 1500000000 worldwide in its opening weekend, the third highest of the year. The film had reportedly grossed over inr 2840000000 worldwide after twelve days of its release.

India

The film, releasing alongside Bajirao Mastani, opened number one at the box office, and collected inr 210000000 nett in India on its opening day, the third highest of the year after Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The film showed little drop on its second day, and earned nearly inr 200000000 nett. On its first Sunday, Dilwale took in approximately inr 230000000 nett, bringing the three day nett to an estimated inr 640000000. Dilwale had a first week of inr 970000000 nett in the domestic market.

The film earned around inr 210000000 nett in its second weekend. It grossed little over inr 310000000 nett in week two, taking its business to inr 1270000000 nett. The film made around inr 110000000 nett more in the third week, and finished with a total of inr 1400000000 nett in India.

Overseas

Dilwale had the highest opening of 2015 abroad and the second highest ever, with a weekend gross of around 8.5 million. The film also set an all-time record opening in the Gulf. In Pakistan, the film earned inr 65000000 in its first three days. The film went on to earn over $13 million overseas in the first week, again the highest of the year.

Dilwale grossed another $3.75 million in the second weekend, for an overall $16.75 million in ten days. After two weeks, the film's earnings abroad were more than $20.5 million. The film had grossed around $23.3 million outside India as of 12 January 2016 to become the highest-grossing film starring Shah Rukh Khan in overseas markets.

Dilwale has expanded its business abroad to higher than $25 million following release in new markets like Germany, Netherlands and Indonesia.
