After “Dabangg”, “Bodyguard” and “Ek Tha Tiger”, actor Salman Khan has done it once again. Within six days of its release, “Dabangg 2” has entered the Rs.100 crore-club with collections amounting to Rs.100.78 crore.
“Dabangg 2” is the sequel to the 2010 release “Dabangg”, which was set in a village and had the rustic, rural flavour of Uttar Pradesh. The story of the sequel has shifted to a posh metropolitan city.
Made under the banner of Arbaaz Khan Productions, “Dabangg 2” has been written by Dilip Shukla. This is Arbaaz’s first film as a director. The film released in over 3,500 screens across India Dec 21.
This year has been very lucky for Salman. Kabir Khan-directed “Ek Tha Tiger” was an Eid release and set the cash registers ringing, but “Dabangg 2” achieved this feat in spite of being a non-holiday release.
The film opened to a collection of Rs.21.10 crore and collected a whopping Rs.65.16 crore during the first three days.
