'Dabangg' collects 6.75 cr on Wednesday, single screens are super-strong

By Taran Adarsh, September 16, 2010

DABANGG collected approx. Rs. 6.75 cr. nett on Wednesday, taking its 6-day total to approx. Rs. 74 cr. to Rs. 74.5 cr. nett. The film continues to perform exceedingly well at single screens, while multiplexes have shown the usual drops on weekdays. Like this writer pointed out yesterday, the first week distributors' share will be on the higher side [approx. Rs. 50 cr. or in that range] since the rentals at single screens are as low at 15% to 20% to 30% and the distributors' share, therefore, will be 85%, 80% or 70%, depending on the property and location.

3 IDIOTS had collected Rs. 79.55 cr. nett in Week 1 [including Thursday previews] and DABANGG is likely to cross this figure in Week 1, at the rate it's faring.

Salmaan Khan ku hub la fan-a????????

I'm a fan too - the only actor (other than Aamir and Hrithik maybe) in Hindi that still plays some manly roles. I mean action movies. I loved his Wanted, and will soon see Dabangg!

It's so nice to see these 3 actors mentioned actually "use" their 6-pack/8-pack/12-pack, rather than just coming shirtless to show off and have women chase them!

And more importantly, I'm glad he does not act in 3 hour melodrama kind of movies with ah/lalalala playing in the background constantly with triangular love stories and 10 group dances! :P

Arbaaz confirms the possibility of 'Dabangg 2'

By Taran Adarsh,
September 14, 2010.

DABANGG is setting new records and Arbaaz Khan is, naturally, ecstatic. "I expected the film to perform very well, but I never expected it to emerge the biggest opener," Arbaaz admits honestly. But the actor turned film-maker isn't resting on laurels, but has decided to keep the momentum going by promoting the film on weekdays as well.

Arbaaz is not in a hurry to start his next production either. In fact, the news doing the rounds is that the Khan-daan is planning to start DABANGG 2. It's said that they might call it ROBINHOOD PANDEY or CHULBUL PANDEY. Arbaaz smiles, "Yes, there's a 110% possibility that we will start DABANGG 2, but when that will happen is yet undecided. See, Salman has several commitments to fulfill, so DABANGG 2 will take some time to start. But it's definitely on the cards."

With DABANGG opening to an overwhelming response, the enthusiasm to acquire the Tamil and Telugu version remaking rights has increased overnight. In fact, Arbaaz has already received several lucrative offers for the same. "I am still studying the market. We will take a call later," he states.

I saw this movie yesterday. Good movie with right mix of comedy, action and romance. Still i would place it below Wanted, probably due to the different locations and already seen story... The movie has many funny moments and songs are really nice. Tere mast mast, Hud hud dabangg, Chori Kiya re & Munni badnam are my picks.

Rating - 3/5

Sallu’s star shining in K’town

DC,
September 17th, 2010.

Dabaang’s hit star, the much-loved Chulbul Pandey has many admirers all over the world. Apparently, Salman Khan’s fan following in the south is so strong that a Tamil film producer B. R. Krishnan of B. R. K. Films is making a film on the life of Salman Khan. Tentatively titled Anna Salman or Brother Salman, the film is inspired by the ups and-downs in the life and love relationships of Bollywood badshah Salman Khan.

Mumbai-based actress and model Rituu Sachdev who has done lead roles in south films like the recently-released Kannada film Sri Moksha has been signed on to play the main lead. Rituu who plays a double role in the film is the love interest of the hero. Says producer B. R. Krishnan, “I am still looking for a hero to play Salman’s role. The film is not based on Sallu bhai’s life, it is only vaguely inspired by it. We all love Salman Khan and his movies. When I read the script, I immediately decided to do the movie.”

The 22-year-old Rituu, who originally hails from Delhi — but has now made Mumbai her permanent home, is herself a great Salman Khan fan. She started her career as an air-hostess flying for the national carrier but soon gave up flying to fulfill her childhood dream of acting. With an hour-glass figure Rituu has already featured in four south films (Telugu, Kannada and Tamil) and done several TV commercials and print advertisements. She was seen in music videos Chahat and Rahbar released in July by Venus Music and sung by renowned singer Alka Yagnik. She has also shot for two more music videos which are due for release in November this year. Rituu has signed on many other projects including a popular Reality Show on a mainline entertainment channel and is a promising face worth watching.

She is currently shooting for a Tamil film (the stills of which are enclosed) where she plays the main lead. Incidentally, Rituu Sachdev was also in the news recently for receiving threatening calls from another Hyderabad-based producer who claimed to be a henchman for underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and was trying to force the young actress into signing his film. Rituu registered a complaint with the Versova Police station in suburban Mumbai and the police are investigating the source of the crank calls.

B. R. K. Films has produced several regional language films in the south and this will be their eight project. “This is a big budget project and the film production standards will be comparable to the best in the world. We are casting two well-known south heroes for this project and the film will be shot partly in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangkok and London,” says the producer, refusing to name the rest of the Tamil star cast. http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tablo...%80%99town-395

Champ Chulbul rides repeat wave Salman salute

- Dabangg gets more shows as fans flock for fists of fury & funny lines : PRIYANKA ROY

Week one: 115 shows. Week two: 125 shows.

Calcutta just can’t have enough of Chulbul Pandey aka Robin Hood Pandey aka Salman Khan.

After powering its way to box-office glory in the first seven days, Dabangg is set to roar even louder in the second week, courtesy more shows at multiplexes. “With the craze for Dabangg growing by the day and no major releases on Friday, it was but natural for us to increase shows in Week Two,” says Virendra Marya, the regional director of INOX.

Dabangg (Fearless) took Rs 30 crore to make, has grossed Rs 80 crore net in week one — beating the 3 Idiots record by around Rs 3 crore — and become the “Zandu balm” for a Bollywood “badnaam” after a hattrick of flops, Kites, Raavan and We Are Family. Some are roaring at Salman’s shirt-ripping, rib-tickling act, others are dancing in the aisles to Munni badnaam hui’s Zandu balm belly shake. “Dabangg has surpassed all expectations and getting bigger with time,” says trade analyst Komal Nahta.

Dia Mirza’s tweet — “The Verdict: DABANGG a BLOCKBUSTER! Go watch it!” — sums up the audience mood.

“Those who watched it during the weekend have gone back for a repeat watch on weekdays,” says trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Like software professional Kaushik Banerjee who watched it on Friday and returned on Tuesday. “I wanted to enjoy the fun one-liners one more time,” he says.

No wonder the record occupancy figures. “If the weekend collections were 90 to 98 per cent, the weekday figures were steady around 60 to 65 per cent,” says Marya of INOX.

Standalone cinemas too are saluting Salman. “With Dabangg, we have recorded our highest nett collection ever, around Rs 8.5 lakh in the first week. The weekday figures were even better, much higher than 3 Idiots,” says Navin Choukhani of Navina Cinema.

Week 2 too promises to belong to Chulbul Pandey, with fists of fury and funny lines. “The festive weekend should push up the crowd count further,” says Mahendra Soni, the film’s regional distributor.

Bollywood is hoping Dabangg signals that happy days are here again. “The hype around Anjaana Anjaani is very strong, courtesy Ranbir Kapoor (and Priyanka Chopra),” says Debashish De of Aum Moviez, the film’s regional distributor.

If Anjaana Anjaani hits screens on Friday the 24th, Guzaarish, Golmaal 3, Action Replayy and Tees Maar Khan are lined up next.

But for now the spotlight is all Salman’s. As Shilpa Shetty summed up: “Super film! Totally massy, shot classily. Full-on paisa vasool.”

I saw one such film which released in Diwali 2006. Shabbaa mudiavae illa . Adha vera ninga nalla irukkunnu hubla sollirundhinga

My cousin made fun of me for quite some time as we went to that film ignoring his advice to watch Don (2006). .

And more importantly, I'm glad he does not act in 3 hour melodrama kind of movies with ah/lalalala playing in the background constantly with triangular love stories and 10 group dances! :P

Is it KANK? :P

[mealiusarses]

Jaan E Mann/ (Salman, Akshay Preity Zinta starrer.) On the top of my head I think there were atleast a dozen songs.

[indianstory]

So Dabangg will not beat the records set by 3 idiots. There was bigger slowdown in the second week when compared with 3 idiots.

[mensforyouthis]

Yes... Definitely it won't beat 3 Idiots... 3 Idiots can be termed an all rounder but here it's Salman's show all the way... Though there are fiercy action sequences and good songs Salman dominates throughout the film
