Salman Khan’s latest Eid release rakes in Rs 47 crore in its opening weekend, exceeding 3 Idiots previous record of Rs 38 crore.
After 3 Idiots broke all-time collection records that seemed unmatchable, Salman Khan’s latest release Dabangg has opened to a thumping response, surpassing the Aamir Khan starrer’s weekend collections and bringing back smiles to a tense film industry.
Dabangg’s biggest success story, in fact, is that it has displaced 3 Idiots from the all-time opening-weekend top grosser list. This is a fact that is being attested to by exhibitors as well as trade analysts. According to them, the total gross figures of 3 Idiots stood at Rs 38 crore after the first weekend along with paid previews, but Dabangg has collected Rs 47 crore in its first three days of release.
And the reason for the film’s success is also unequivocal: Salman Khan. “It’s a one-man show,” trade analyst Vinod Mirani said. Amod Mehra explained the fact and stated, “The movie has a new director, a new producer and a new heroine. Salman has carried the movie on his shoulders entirely.”
