Production

Development

In January 2015, filmmaker Shetty announced a project with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Shetty stated that he would start filming in March 2015. Shetty signed actress Kajol opposite Khan. 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.

Release

Dilwale was released on 18 December 2015 in India, Australia, Malaysia, Norway, Pakistan, Myanmar, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and South Africa. The film was released in around 3100 screens in India.

On 14 December 2015, in the United Kingdom, the film received a 12A classification from the British Board of Film Classification for "moderate violence". IG Interactive Entertainment Limited (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

Main article: Dilwale (soundtrack)

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 December 4, 2015 by Sony Music India.

Critical reception

Dilwale received generally mixed reactions from critics.

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 from ETC Bollywood Business said "Dilwale is a masala entertainer from the start till the end." Meena Iyer from Times of India gave 3/5 stars although 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." Rachit Gupta from Filmfare gave it 4/5 stars and adding, "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." Tushar P. Joshi of Bollywood Life gave the film 3/5 stars saying "Rohit Shetty raises the roof with the production values. Dilwale is a good looking film. Despite the pre conceived notion that comes attached with his films, Rohit manages to create characters that retain your interest. The film works because of Shah Rukh Khan and his never ageing charm." Shubha Shetty-Saha of Mid Day giving the film 3/5 stars said "Watch this for the chemistry between SRK and Kajol which refuses to simmer down even after all these years.

Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times, gave the film a 1.5/5 rating and called the plot "highly predictable". 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. The Economic Times felt that the film "lacked soul and freshness" and stated that it would only appeal to fans of Khan and Kajol. NDTV felt that the film's plot "went in circles" and that while Kajol was great, the film overall failed to appeal.

Box office

The film, releasing alongside Bajirao Mastani, opened number one at the box office, collecting ₹21 crore (US$2.5 million) nett in India on its opening day, the third highest of the year after Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
