Dabangg 2 Second Day Business

Dabangg 2 Second Day Business

Dabangg 2 dropped on Saturday as it collected in the 16 crore nett range as per early estimates. The single screen drop was expected as collections were extremely strong on day one but surprisingly multiplexes failed to show growth on Saturday. Some multiplexes showed similar business to Friday while some very down slightly but very few were up.

The two day business of the film is around 35 crore nett which is huge as it is has done it without holidays but the next few days will tell that the drop that come on Friday was due to excessive screenings and cold weather or therew as more to it. The North was hit again in the evening by cold weather on Saturday.

Dabangg 2 First Day Business

Dabangg 2 First Day Business

Dabangg 2 has collected 19.50 crore nett approx on day one as per early estimates. It is the highest non holiday opening day beating the 14.75 crore nett of Don 2 released in the same period last year but it has also released on 600-700 more screens than that film.

As has been seen in the last two years it is really tough to collect really big at multiplexes without a national holiday and the trend continued with Dabangg 2. There is just not enough of a multiplex audience on a working day to pack out 25 or 30 shows daily at a multiplex. Some shows go house full but odd timing shows have very low occupancies.

The first day is still fantastic and there should be growth on Saturday and Sunday as huge number of shows multiplexes give the film potential to get much higher collections as long as the public takes to it.

How close are Karan Johar, Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan?

The director comes clean on rumours of an alleged rift between him and his muse, Shahrukh Khan

“I am here to spend time with Aryan and Gauri. Shahrukh Khan, Gauri and I are a unit that has evolved beyond the realms of the film fraternity. Shahrukh Khan is my older brother and I am bound to him for emotional, spiritual and professional reasons. Like wine, he keeps getting better with age.”

Nach Baliye 5: Shilpa Shetty, Sajid Khan and Terence Lewis confirmed as judges

After much speculation about Rekha donning the judge’s hat, now we know who all will finally get to sit on the judges’ chair

After a short break from the celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5, television viewers are now gearing up for the fifth season of Nach Baliye. A lot has been said about Rekha and her long list of conditions that needed to be fulfilled before she took her place at the judge’s panel. But now we hear that the diva won’t be making her small screen debut after all. Birdies chirp that Nach Baliye 5 will be judged by actor and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty, filmmaker Sajid Khan, and choreographer Terence Lewis.

Lewis has been very open about his status on the show, and said in an interview, “I have just signed for the new season of Nach Baliye. It is coming after two years. I will be on the show along with Sajid Khan and Shilpa Shetty. I am very excited.”

Talking about Shilpa, we can’t wait to welcome the lovely lady back into the world of showbiz. And we can’t help but wonder – will little Viaan Raj Kundra too tag along with Mommy to the sets sometimes? Awwww, that would be so cute!

Anyway. For now, it’s time to wait and watch how the fifth season of Nach Baliye will kick off.

Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor won’t perform on New Year’s Eve

The babes plan to indulge in happy family time rather than earning big bucks at some lavish New Year bash

Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor will not be seen performing in happening New Year parties this year. The actors are firm about spending time with their near and dear ones. While Kat is reportedly planning to join her family in London, Bebo will be spending quality time with husband Saif Ali Khan. We hear that they both were offered a whopping Rs 2 crores approximately for live dance shows, but looks like the two ladies simply want to sit back and relax with their loved ones.

Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Kangna Ranaut and Sunny Leone are some of the top names in the organiser’s list. Although none of them have given a confirmation yet, buzz is that PC might shake a leg with Salman Khan at a show in Dubai. And Bong babe Bips and Kangy have been offered around Rs 1 crore for grooving at a high-end party. Jism 2 babe Leone has also been offered Rs 26 lakhs. As the season of earning a mighty amount of moolah approaches, we wait to see which of them give their nod to the desperate organisers.

DABANGG 2 new stills: Salman Khan gets intimate with Sonakshi Sinha

Chulbul Pandey seems to be in a great mood – dancing and making love, in this fresh batch of pictures

The first Dabangg showed us a Chulbul Pandey who was angry at the world and at people in general. But in this new batch of stills from Dabangg 2, we see Chulbul display a range of emotions. The anger is there for sure, but there’s also a sweet and romantic side to him. There’s a pic that even shows a passionate Chulbul making love to Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha), and thus consummating their marriage; something we missed in the first movie. Besides, he is also seen riding a new Suzuki Intruder, a limited edition bike that he had actually purchased for himself.

Chulbul is also seen putting his dancing skills to test. And for critics who were saying that Pandey jeeis a lazy dancer, this new avatar of his will silence them, as Chulbul is seen matching steps with Kareena Kapoor who is a complete treat to watch in her desi-glam avatar.

All in all, the stills give us a great peep into the random craziness one can expect from the second installment of the film. What better way to get to know Chulbul Pandey!
