The opening weekend business of Dabangg 3 seems to have taken a drastic hit, with a loss of approximately Rs. 20 cr. to its overall business on its first three days. Currently this lowered collection rate is being attributed to not only the anti-CAA protests but also to the fact that certain mass dominated territories like Bihar has been facing a bandh on Sunday. This coupled with the India – West Indies cricket match seem to have greatly affected the overall business of Dabangg 3 on Day 3.

 

As of now, Dabangg 3 continues to run in theatres, however with just a week long unopposed run in theatres, business expectations of the film do not paint a rosy picture. In fact, trade predictions state that Dabangg 3, unlike conventional Salman Khan starrer might just wrap its box office run between Rs. 130-150 cr by the end of its first week.
