Bodyguard vs Dabangg : Box office comparison

Comparison between two Salman Khan EID releases – Dabangg released last year and Bodyguard released last week. 

Day-wise comparison (Please note – Bodyguard released on Wednesday, while Dabangg released on Friday)

  • Day 1: Bodyguard – 21.5 crores | Dabangg – 14.5 crores
  • Day 2: Bodyguard – 19 crores | Dabangg – 16.5 crores
  • Day 3: Bodyguard – 14.5 crores | Dabangg – 18.5 crores
  • Day 4: Bodyguard – 15.5 crores | Dabangg – 10.6 crores
  • Day 5: Bodyguard – 18.5 crores | Dabangg – 8.6 crores
  • Total: Bodyguard – 89 crores | Dabangg – 68.7 crores

Weekend-only (Friday – Sunday) comparison

  • Friday: Bodyguard – 14.5 crores  | Dabangg – 14.5 crores
  • Saturday: Bodyguard – 15.5 crores | Dabangg – 16.5 crores
  • Sunday: Bodyguard – 18.5 crores | Dabangg – 18.5 crores
  • Total: Bodyguard – 48.5 crores | Dabangg – 49.5 crores

As you can see, both the films are pretty close, collection-wise. But the big difference is the Wednesday and Thursday collections of Bodyguard, those two holidays for EID and Ganesh Chaturthi were blessings in disguise for Salman Khan’s biggest blockbuster ever!

Bodyguard is all set to cross the 100 crore mark on Tuesday, exactly on the 7th day of its release. What that means is, even without the extended weekend, the film has done 100 crores of business in 1 week! Truly outstanding!

  • Thanks Indicine… I am not a Salman fan.. but really love your box office reports and articles.. love reading them..

  • @fuad .. reason is simple Indicine is using figures given out by producers while BOI is giving real figures .. i remember a time when Indicine used to take only BOI figures

  • indicine @
    hi …. I’m from Indonesia … I’m a big fan of salman khan .. i want to know about the prediction indicine bodyguard in the second week .. especially with the release of MBKD and MAUSAM? thanks indicine ……

  • Mere Brother Ki Dulhan has good music and fresh casting as its USP, so it should open well. It will definitely affect Bodyguard, but to what extent is the big question. It will depend on how good Mere Brother is as a movie. If its good, Bodyguard weekend collections will be affected. If its bad, Bodyguard will benefit.

    Don’t forget that this Friday will be the films 10th day after release, millions have already watched the film. We think, the second week will be around 30 – 35 crores – which is enough to beat the collections of Dabangg :) 3 Idiots is not possible now, Monday drop was huge from Sunday.
