''Bajirao Mastani'' has backing from Eros International and they have booked majority of screens when ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan'' released. In Maharashtra and some parts of central India, they will upper hand as far as single screens are concerned. That is why there is kind of ''hope cum buzz'' among these exhibitors and trade circle that ''Bajirao Mastani'' will score over ''Dilwale'' as they don''t have option to release other film.

On the other hand, ''Dilwale'' will score among multiplexes especially after tie up with PVR. Film will get all important multiplexes and high end screens in NCR, Mumbai and central India. Film will score among youth audience big time so multiplexes will go mad over the film. 

Overall ''Bajirao Mastani'' should get close to 2000-2200 screens and  ''Dilwale'' should get clsoe to 2800-3000 total screens. But as we all know that holiday is in 2nd weekend, only the more accepted film and entertaining film will make it to the big numbers. Its more about masses than classes/critics on holiday period.

Note: We will publish EXCLUSIVE info about ''Dilwale'' tomorrow noon from its very 1st screening.
