Dabangg 2 Collects 15 Crore On Christmas Day

Dabangg 2 collected around 15 crore nett on Christmas Day taking the five day to over 85 crore nett. The business on Christmas Day was dented by the India v Pakistan cricket match otherwise the film would have collected around 17 crore nett.

The collections are the same as Ek Tha Tiger on Tuesday which also collected 15 crore nett though for that film is holiday in regions while for Dabangg 2 it was a national holiday.

The film has shown strong collections all over for five days with every circuit doing very well but the next two days are very important and the levels they stay at will decide where the film is going in terms of lifetime business.

Dabangg 2 Has Excellent Opening

Dabangg 2 had an excellent opening and will have a strong first day collection. The occupancies were not that high at multiplexes for the day due to the huge number of shows as business got shared amongst the shows. The single screens were extraordinary with collections near record levels. The film should easily set a new record for weekend.

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.

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!

Kareena Kapoor to reveal Dabangg 2 song Fevicol se on Bigg Boss 6

The Heroine actor will perform on her most talked about item number on the weekend episode of Bigg Boss 6

It seems that the controversial reality show has become a place for film promotions. After launching the first look of Dabangg 2 on the reality show Bigg Boss 6, host Salman Khan will now get good friend Kareena Kapoor to dance on the item song – Fevicol se for the Saturday special episode. We hope Sallu too will join her on stage.

The makers of the movie were planning to release the song this week. But according to our feathered friend, Salman Khan loved the tremendous response to Dabangg 2 promo on his reality show. So he came up with the idea of revealing his movie’s most anticipated item number on the same show too.

Choreographed by Farah Khan, the song has been in news for quite some time now. So all you Sallu and Bebo fans out there, please keep your calendar free for this Saturday and watch Bebo shake a leg to this heavy-duty item number.

Salman Khan confirms plans to make Dabangg 3

 

In an interview, Salman revealed that Dabangg 3 is in the offing, and also told us a bit of what the story would be all about

Salman Khan is a man who doesn’t mince any words. As a result, one gets to know all sorts of quirky things that are cooking in his head, and sometimes juicy details escape his lips. In a recent interview, when asked whether there will be a Dabangg 3, Salman not only answered in the affirmative but also let us know what the story would be. The third installment of the movie will be a prequel and will delve on how Chulbul Pandey became who he is, and how his life came to be the way it is.

Well, it’s a great piece of news for all Dabangg and Sallu fans. But we wonder whether the prequel will be made if Dabangg 2 fails to impress? Also, will Arbaaz Khan don the director’s hat again for Dabangg 3? We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out. And is it wise for Salman to reveal the plot of the third film in the series, even before the sequel Dabangg 2 releases? Probably not!  But again, when it comes to Salman, a commitment is a commitment, and we surely are waiting for Sallu to fulfill his third Dabangg promise.

SON OF SARDAAR box office report: Ajay Devgn’s entertainer touches the Rs 100 crore mark

SON OF SARDAAR box office report: Ajay Devgn’s entertainer touches the Rs 100 crore mark

SOS has finally made it to the coveted Rs 100 crore club. While Ajay’s flick took 16 days to get there, SRK’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan made it in just 11 days

 After all the sho-sha surrounding Son Of Sardaar, producer-actor Ajay Devgn can now heave a sigh of relief. Devgn, who vigorously fought the distribution battle with Yash Raj Films, finally has reasons to smile. The romantic comedy touched the Rs 100 crore mark on the auspicious day of Gurunanak Jayanti, 16 days after its release. Naturally, the actor proudly announced the news on Twitter and thanked all his fans: ‘100 crores only in India! What a day for Son Of Sardaar to cross 100 Crores on guru nanakji’s birthday! I am blessed! Thank u everyone’.

In the meanwhile, the Shahrukh Khan-Katrina Kaif-Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan made at a budget of Rs Rs 50 crores surpassed the milestone figure in just 11 days since its release, but it also had more screens as compared to SOS. The over-whelming response to SOS at single screen centres, pushed theatre owners and distributors to give 238 additional screens to the movie in its second week, which certainly helped it to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. The film may not be able to earn more moolahonce Talaash hits the screens tomorrow.

But now that both JTHJ and SOS have hit the bull’s eye, let’s wait and watch if Talaash and Dabangg 2 too can create new box office records.
