106 Crores in 10 Days

By Anant Mathur (September 20, 2010)

Dabangg has become the first ever Salman Khan film to collect over 100 crores. In just 10 days since its release the film has shattered all the records to collect 106.24 crore rupees. And the film is still going strong - the second weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun) collections were approximately 25 crores - that's more than the FIRST WEEK collection Peepli Live and Lafangey Parindey combined.

It's hard to judge where Dabangg will end up in the history of Hindi films. But one thing is for sure, it's quickly creeping up behind 3 Idiots for the title of Biggest Box Office Grosser. It's not too difficult to believe the success Dabangg is having there hasn't been buzz like this about a film prior to its release in almost 2-3 decades and when the film is as good as Dabanng is, it's just Icing on the cake as they say. I for one am eagerly awaiting the DVD release, so I can bring this fantastic film into my home.
