Dabangg 2 Has Excellent Opening

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.

                                                                             

Khiladi 786 had a decent second week of around 16.50 crore taking its two week total to 61.50 crore nett. The film held up pretty well compared to many films this year but as low opening the film has remained well below expectations. AVERAGE

Talaash has grossed 89.50 crore nett in three weeks. SEMI HIT

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!
