Dabangg 3 Box Office Collection Day 1: Salman Khan's Film Fails To Match Expectations, Earns Rs 20 Crore As Per Early Estimates

Dabangg 3 is one of those films that is expected to end the year with a bang. It is imperative that we at least end 2019 on a big note so that the spillover can spread across the first week of January. That's because on principle no filmmaker releases movies in the first week of every year for superstitious reasons, although there have been exceptions to this rule. But it seems Salman Khan's Dabang-giri has fallen short. As per early estimates, the film has not been able to make it count on the first day. Dabangg 3: 15 WTF Moments in Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Kichcha Sudeep’s Film That Made Us Shake Our Heads in Disbelief

As per Sumit Kadel Trade Analyst, Dabangg 3 has earned somewhere around Rs 18-20 crore which is far lesser than what Trade has been predicting in the last couple of days. Dabangg 3 was supposed to earn over Rs 32 crore or more to become yet another non-Holiday winner but if these are the true numbers, the film is already struggling. It could be one of Salman's lowest opening in the last couple of years.

Dabangg 3 still has today and tomorrow to earn quick bucks and add to the riches. But it needs to be seen what happens post the weekend is over.
