DABANGG 2 Maintains The Pace On 2nd Day

A big film and all kind of stories making round about film's success or failure already. This has become a trend now with every big film gets its share of bashing. "Dabangg 2" did not receive great reviews like many previous Salman films and this time around film also carrying a burden of being a sequel which invites unfair comparison.

Film scored really well on day one nut a slight drop in evening shows at some places gave opportunity to a section of individuals to raise doubt over the film. But still 21 cr nett on day one is a huge number. Everyone expected a decent jump of 20% on Saturday.

But going by the initial trends of Saturday, it does not look great. Film collected almost similar numbers on 2nd day and that jump did not look possible unless huge turnaround happens late in the day. Film was flat (read similar occupancy as yesterday) in Gujarat, Mysore, Tamilnadu and West Bengal. 

As per early estimates, film should collect 22 cr nett on Saturday which means a jump of 4%. This number can go up and down depending on huge number of late night shows in 3500 screens, anything vetween 20-22 cr nett is possible. Two day total of 43 cr nett is fantastic but a great Sunday in the range of 27 cr nett plus can take it to 70 cr nett.

Film performed well in overseas too with 7 cr collections and weekend numbers will touch 18-20 cr. Jump on Sunday and trending on weekdays after Christmas will decide film's fate.

Below are the collections for the film  -
