'Dabangg 3' Occupancy Report: Salman Khan-Sonakshi Sinha's film gets a good start but not as expectedAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Salman Khan's most awaited film, Dabangg 3 has finally hit the screens. The film marks his return as a cop Chubul Pandey and along with the superstar, the flick also stars Sonakshi Sinha reprising her role as Rajjo Pandey. Dabangg 3 also has debutante Saiee Manjrekar and Kiccha Sudeep as the main antagonist. Earlier it was reported that only 10% of tickets are available for the weekend in advance. Now, the occupancy report of Dabangg 3 is out.
As per reports in Box Office India, Salman's film has got an occupancy of about 30-35% in morning shows. The trading website also reported that Dabangg 3 has got sixth-best openings of 2019, after War, Bharat, Mission Mangal, Saaho and Kabir Singh. Going by the current state of the country, the opening day is likely to get affected. Talking about it, a source told Bollywood Hungama, "Even a film like Saaho had much better advance a day before. We are hoping the advance picks up or at least viewers opt for current booking tomorrow."
While a trade source told the entertainment website, "The Salman Khan starrer would continue to collect even after the release of Good Newwz. But it needs to do huge business in Week 1 as it’ll lose a chunk of screens in some centres. This is if the word of mouth is positive. If reports are bad, then it’ll prove disastrous. It’ll be a repeat of what happened to Zero, last year’s Christmas release."
Dabangg 3 is directed by Prabhu Deva.
