Dabangg 2 Box Office Opening

It’s time to attach ‘SUPERSTAR SALMAN’ before the opening credits of Salman Khan films, like they do with Rajnikanth films. When it comes to sheer fan-following and craze in India, Salman is in a league of his own.

People are dancing on the streets to celebrate the release of the film. The atmosphere inside single screens is equally electric – seethis (whistles), taalis (claps) are greeting Salman Khan, who has attained demi-god status. The release of Dabangg 2 is being celebrated like a festival, much like people down south celebrate the release of Rajnikanth films.

It’s not about the film, the director, the banner or anything else – it’s all about Salman Khan!

Not only has Dabangg 2 opened to an absolutely earth-shattering response at mass centres, the occupancy at premium multiplexes too has been equally good.

The opening day box office collections will easily cross the 20 crore mark. If the film can further pick up for the evening/night shows, the first day collections could well touch 27-28 crores nett.

For a film released on a working day – these are mind-boggling numbers. To put things into perspective, the previous record for a working day release is Rs 14.4 crore held by Rowdy Rathore. Dabangg 2 might double it!

  • salman rockss and all u haters suckss salo tumari ungliyon me itne shed karungaa ki confuse ho jayoge kahan se likhen (a.s se yan d..k se) lolzzzz

  • weak storyline & poor screenplay spoils the party..just 1-time watch..only chulbul pandey is good..nothing else..it’ll make good biz bcz of salman’s fan-following,hype & a huge release of 3600 screens..but as the critic & audience reaction is aptly mixed to negative,it’ll influence the biz in the next week..though the long chrismas-holiday will add some fuel to the almost-extinguished fire..i think it is deservingly hard for such a back-to-back same no-brainer crap masala movie to break the all-time biz record..only hype cannot make a film a record-shattering & widely acceptable..

  • @fact abe phir tu sapne dekh raha hai maine
    mana kiya tha na wakeup fact! Only35cr in 3 days
    lagta hai mera baap sirf 70cr hi collect karega
    ha ha ha ha

  • Dabangg 2 “Slows At Multiplexes “In Evening

    Dabangg 2 which raced out of the traps in the morning slowed in the afternoon and evening period as many multiplex shows had lower occupancies than the morning. This was always the likely scenario as its not a holiday but at some places it slowed considerably. This could also be due to exceessive shows. The North was hit hard with evening occupancies down a lot due to the cold weather which is a norm for this time of the year.

    The morning shows suggested a 25 crore nett total was on the cards but looking at it in the evening and late evening shows the all India collections could come in around the 18-19 crore nett range which is still huge but the film has been let down slightly by the multiplex business.

    SO DABANNG-2 will collect 18-19 crores Max on Day 1.

    So much for sallu mania. Evening Multiplex shows are slow as hell on day 1.

  • Day 1 Dabanng-2 Afternoon Evening multiplex shows are “EMPTY”

    Dabanng-2 Max day 1 collection will be 18 crores.

    So much for Sallu stardom. Nice to see little brother Arbaaz destroying big brother Sallu.

  • @khan exact reports ab tak nahi aye hai and it is true that occupancy at multiplexes at noon n evening were less but they picked up in the night and on all india basis occupancy at singles is nearly 95% n at multiplexes is 75% on a non holiday friday, so the minimum is 21 crores n max could be 27 crores. Just wait for the exact reports to come

  • Dabbang 2 isn’t as bad as some people are making it out to be, nor is it as good as most people are wanting it to be.

    Its an ‘Ok’ movie that compliments Salman’s most beloved avatar — Chulbul Pandey. The acting input from every character is good, especially Salman deserves praise for demonstrating skill in action, comedy and emotional scenes.

    Some notable pointers from my side are:
    1) Dabbang & Dabbang 2 have an almost same storyline.
    2) Dabbang had better music [‘Munni’ was a lot more better in every sense than ‘Fevicol se’]
    3) ‘Chedi Singh’ was more effectful a villain than ‘Baccha Bhaiya’.
    4) The divided attention in Dabbang focusing on Chulbul as person, his relation with his mother, differences between father & brother, romancing Rajjo, and dealing with Chedi Singh had more appeal. Most of which Dabbang 2 lacks.
    5) Dabbang, undoubtedly, had more to offer.

    Overall, Dabbang 2 has flaws, but it doesn’t bore you for a minute. A core entertainer, which could have a more satisfying climax, but nonetheless, a worthwhile watch !
    2.8/5

  • First day collection is 18 crores.

    Multiplexes are empty for afternoon & evening shows for Day 1 which is shocking.

    Dabanng-2 WOM is poor. It will struggle to cross 100 crores lifetime BO collection.

  • Whatever you critics say, it doesn’t matter to Salman’s films. His films are critics-proof. I went to watch this movie knowing that this movie would have nothing new to offer story-wise. The promo of the film, Salman and Arbaaz etc all have indicated that it is the continuation of the first film. Salman rightly puts it “It is the second part after the interval.” They didn’t lie to sell this film. So, the film lived up to my expectations. Apart from having a good story, the film is awesome and full on entertainment.
    Some people who are saying that watching this movie is a waste of time and money. But it is their STUPIDITY to expect something else from Dabangg franchise. These people should not have gone to watch the movie and scream here like spineless faggots. To me, it seems that some Salman haters are merely yelling here not to watch this movie without watching it by themselves.
    Dabangg 2 has promised Dhamaal entertainment and it has given me double-dhamaal entertainment. I am pleased to have watched this movie. By the way, all the so-called film critics in India slammed Dabangg after its release. Now, they are calling it an epic or cult. They have to call so because audiences have liked it. Dabangg 2, too, gonna rock because audiences are liking it and the same critics will start calling this one, too, as a cult film later. Double-standard everywhere!!!!
