Box Office: ‘Dabangg 3’ opening gets off to a decent start

Salman Khan’s much talked about latest release ‘Dabangg 3’ has had a good start at the box office but a little less than expected.

According to Box Office India, the film started off with around 30-35% in early morning trading. Makers of the film are hoping that the ongoing Citizenship Bill protests do not dent the film’s business over the important first weekend.

Despite this, ‘Dabangg 3’ will probably have the second best non-holiday opening of the year after ‘Saaho’ (Hindi). It is reported that the film’s occupancy in Delhi NCR, Bangalore and Hyderabad are much lower due to the violence from the protests.

It will be interesting to see the type of figures ‘Dabangg 3’ reports on its first day. If it was a normal day, the publication said it would have generated anything over Rs. 30 crore – but this now looks unlikely.
