Dabangg 3 Box Office Collection Day 1: Salman Khan's Cop Drama Fails to Beat Tiger Zinda Hai and Eight Other Releases, Becomes his Ninth Highest Opener
Salman Khan's Dabangg 3 fails to beat eight of his other releases, collects Rs 24.50 crore on day one.
Salman Khan's cop drama, Dabangg 3 is the big Christmas release of 2019 but its first-day collections are far from being 'merry'. This Prabhudeva directorial managed to earn Rs 24.50 crore at the box office on day one of its release and though the number is big enough, it's comparatively lesser to his other releases and their opening day figures. Dabangg 3 so far stands at number nine (all versions collections) when it comes to first-day numbers of Salman's different releases. While Bharat still holds the numero uno position Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Sultan are at number two and three respectively.

Popular trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his Twitter account to reveal Dabangg 3's first-day collections. If we go back in time and check the actor's filmography and compare its first-day numbers, Dabangg 3 manages to find a place in his top 10 list. Have a look at other movies that are way ahead than Salman's newest sequel in his Dabangg franchise. Ahead of Dabangg 3 Release, Salman Khan Already Announces Dabangg 4!
- Bharat: Rs 42.30 cr
- Prem Ratan Dhan Payo: Rs 40.35 cr
- Sultan: Rs 36.54 cr
- Tiger Zinda Hai: Rs 34.10 cr
- Ek Tha Tiger: Rs 32.93 cr
- Race 3: 29.17 cr
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Rs 27.35 cr

Dabangg 3 is a non-festive release and others like Bharat and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo had Eid and Diwali to boost their momentum at the box office. While its critical reviews are not really very pleasing to hear, let's hope Salman mania is able to pull audiences to the theatre screens. Hopefully, the business will pick up pace in the coming days and the film will manage to earn a decent total by the end of its first-week run.
