People don't remember Dabangg worked on content: Salman Khan
Salman Khan is a superstar who has seen the highest numbers at the Box Office in the last decade. There has been a constant discussion about what works at the Box Office - content or mass appeal. Amidst that, Salman went on to call his previous movies Dabangg and Tere Naam 'small-budget films that worked completely on content'.

The superstar was asked about the sudden buzz over content-driven films. To that, Salman Khan pointed out that his movies Dabangg and Tere Naam worked completely on content.

Speaking to BollywoodLife, Salman Khan said, “I think they’re talking about a different kind of content. I think they’re talking about the smaller movies, the web, that kind of content. You know that kind of parallel cinema that used to not work earlier, like what we used to call art cinema, which used to be a different chain of cinema, has now become a part of standard cinema. A bit of commercialism has now been added to it; earlier they used to be very small-budgeted films – now the budget has increased a bit and they’ve been shifted here now is what I feel, and it’s a good thing.”

He also went on to add, “So Dabangg was that film. The first Dabangg was a 2-crore film. Tere Naam was also that film. But since they happened with me, they happened like this, now what to do? Nobody remembers that they were small films that worked completely on content.”

In conclusion, Salman, soon going to be seen alongside Sonakshi Sinha in Prabhudheva's Dabangg 3, went on to state, “Till the time the content doesn’t click, the film won’t click, it doesn’t matter how big a star you are. You can get the Friday, Saturday and Sunday numbers, but beyond that, it won’t hold. No matter how good you’re looking or how good your body’s looking, nobody’s going to sit and watch your film. Even if they are ready to pay for tickets and stuff like that, no one’s going to go and sit there for two-and-a-half hours.”
