To correct your question second flop after Dishoom?

Dilwale was NOT a flop AT ALL.

It was a "semi hit" in BOI's language. Big 100 cr semi-hits are always flops.

And I totally forgot about Dishoom. This film made no impact either.

its more like a technical thing about budgets.

but even at both surface' level, and finances' technicality wise, Dilwale indeed not just recovered its budget but made some little profit too, so yeah as u stated urself, a semi hit, or even if we call it an average fare, it cannot be labelled as flop.

Dishoom might be an impactless movie, but was not a flop forsure, it was average to below average.

I have not seen either of them, and not a fan of any male leads (srk n varun) in them, but believe in giving the credit where it is due.

Varun has a record to have atleast no clean flop in his entire career yet.

Not a huge acheivement, but forsure something noticable.

Dilwale budget: 165 crore

Domestic collections: 139 crore.

The thumb rule is that a film has to make double its budget to be a hit. And Dilwale could not even make half of that.

The thing is BOI always give semi-hit tag to flop big budget films, may be because of their clout or to give them a respectable tag. But everyone knows it's a flop.
