A comment was posted by one of the fans of Salman Khan with relation toBODYGUARD that over the last three Eids Salman Khan has moved down further in the roles of police officers that he has played in the films which have created box office history. He was a Police Commissioner in WANTED, a Police Inspector in DABANGG and now a Bodyguard in BODYGUARD, so in a matter of three Eids' he has pushed down the pedestal in the police hierarchy. But the person who may have made the comment in jest forgot the fact that as Salman Khan moved closer to the common man, i.e. choosing the role of police personnel who has a daily interface with the common man, his quotient of success has increased in quadratic proportions.

So when he became a DABANGG police inspector, one of the most visible police face in a city or a village for the common man, he made box office his slave, but as he became the BODYGUARD, the most visible form of authority that the common man interacts and observes day-in and day-out, a persona that is revered by the common man, so has he gained further in his stature at the box office as well. The collections of 20 crore that BODYGUARD has reported over last two days has not been an outcome of multiplex footfall, but is a result that has been obtained from the small and mofussil towns in the country side. It is the common man, who being in awe of the personalities like a police Inspector or a BODYGUARD, and not being able to get an opportunity to interact with him as much as he would like to, tries to develop a surreal relationship through the medium of cinema as he did for DABANGG and now for BODYGUARD. After all, every common man aspires to be in close contact with the powers, and a cinematic gives him an idea to use it as a veritable tool to interact with the power holders in the real life, as it happens in most of the cases when such movies release, SINGHAM is the latest example of such kind.

BODYGUARD has also created another history in the cinematic history of being released on a Wednesday instead of a Friday, so on the one hand, if one were to interpret it from a religious perspective, the opening day brought the Eid fans, but the next day being the beginning of the Ganpati festival, it is bringing the followers of Ganpati to BODYGUARD in a big way. Success of BODYGUARD has once again underlined the fact that if one talks about secularism, then nothing can beat the cinema industry which is indeed the most secular body in the country. BODYGUARD's success has given a new lease of life to the cinematic career of Atul Agnihotri as a man of production as DABANGG had done it for Arbaaz Khan. It would indeed be a big challenge for RA.ONE to break this record when it releases on Diwali eve.

Salman Khan Is The Rajnikant Of Bollywood


Trade analyst Komal Nahta on the box-office opening and prospects of Salman Khan's Bodyguard:

The first day collections of Bodyguard surpassed everyone's expectations by making almost Rs. 21 crore at the box-office on its first day. The film also managed to break the record of Salman's Dabangg in Dubai by opening with 11 lakh dirhams. In the UK, the film made 2.6 lakh in its first two days making it the highest single weekday collection. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Salman Khan is the Rajnikant of Bollywood.

Bodyguard business worries other heroes

Meena Iyer, TNN | Sep 3, 2011, 05.14PM IST

Bodyguard that recorded the highest opening for any Bollywood film so far, grossed 21.5 cr on Wednesday August 31.

The film saw a slump of almost five crores on the second day and likewise another 3 crores on the third day. However despite this, this film has collected a phenomenal amount says producer-distributor N R Pachisia.

Pachisia says, Despite the critics' panning it,Bodyguard will still turn do unheard of box office. In UAE it collected 4.7 million dihrams and in UK it collected 400,000 GBP in the opening period. The way this film is going one doesn't know where the business will end.''

It is said that despite the very average content, Bodyguard has clearly shown people that Salman Khan is now the messiah of the masses and though his films don't stimulate the intelligentsia, this man of the masses has got the lowest common denominator on his side. Seeing the business of this film, other Bollywood heroes are seriously worried about where they stand,'' says a leading North Indian distributor. The film has collected good money in New Delhi too.''

It is also being said that Salman's next release Ek Tha Tiger that will open only in June 1, 2012 will have the actor sharing profits with Yashraj.
