Salman Khan's much-awaited film Dabangg 3 has been affected by the ongoing opposition to the Civil Amendment Act in the opening weekend, due to which the film's collections did not live up to the expectations of trade experts. Nevertheless, due to Salman's stardom, the film has performed well in the opening weekend. According to initial reports, Dabangg 3 has raised around 80 crores in three days of release. This third film of the Dabangg series was released on 20 December. The film took an opening of 24.50 crores. Currently, trade experts speculated that the film would take over 30 crore openings. Some had hoped to collect between 35-40 crores. According to information received from the sources, the film has had a major impact on the ongoing protests against the Civil Amendment Act in many parts of the country. If the circumstances were normal, the opening would have been different. Most recently, Dabangg 3 deposited 24.75 crores on Saturday. Apart from this, the collections on Sunday are estimated to have been around 29 crores, which together has collected collections of 78 crores in the opening weekend of Dabangg 3. Salman Khan looked satisfied with the film's opening. In the Sunday episode of Bigg Boss 3, Salman also thanked the audience for giving a strong welcome to Dabangg 3. The special thing is that the length of Dabangg 3 was reduced by about 9 minutes on the second day. Dabangg 3's three-day collection has been shorter than his film released this year. Released on the occasion of Eid in June, India had collected about 95 crores in 3 days. India was Mid Week release, which hit theatres on Wednesday. From this perspective, the speed of Dabangg 3 has been slow. Apart from this, if you compare it with the other films of Dabangg, then this is the best opening weekend of Dabangg series. Dabangg 2, which came in 2012, collected about 63 crores in the opening weekend, while Dabangg in 2010 collected around 49 crores in the opening weekend. Dabangg 3 is directed by Prabhudheva. Sonakshi Sinha, Sai Manjrekar and Kiccha Sudeep play the lead roles.
