'Dabangg 2' Box Office Collection: Salman Starrer Beats Aamir's 'Talaash' and SRK's 'JTHJ' at Domestic BO

Salman Khan is ruling the box office at the moment with his latest release "Dabangg 2" still going strong. The first week collection of the film at the domestic BO has crossed ?100 crore mark, beating Aamir Khan's "Talaash" and Shah Rukh Khan's "Jab Tak Hai Jaan".

"Dabangg 2", directed by Arbaaz Khan and featuring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, was released on Friday across 3,500 screens in India and 450 screens abroad.

According to trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh, "Dabangg 2" earned a whopping ?106.78 crore in the first week of its release, which is way ahead of the collections of Aamir Khan's "Talaash" and Shah Rukh Khan's "Jab Tak Hai Jaan".

"Talaash", which features Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor, was released across 2500 screens in India and 520 screens overseas last month. The film collected ?67.9 crore at the domestic box office in the opening week. Shah Rukh Khan starrer "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" earned ?86.09 crore in the first week.

"Dabangg 2" is also doing reasonably well at the overseas box office. It earned ?64.98 lakhs (NZ$ 144,183) from New Zealand in the first week, ?2.69 crore (A$ 473,214) in Australia and ?5.40 crore in the UK, according to Adarsh.

Yeh toh hona hi tha.
D2 had more screens than JTHJ and Talaash.
JTHJ didn't release solo as well.

Congrats to the whole team of D2! Well deserved!((:

The kind of success Salman is having...I doubt if any body will actually release their Films with him...

Salman is profitable star so its obvious any distributor will cash on this...

There's a difference between havIng many screens because no other BIG film releasing with it...and other film PH purposely buying all screens so that the competitor movie movies dont get a chance...

haha, wot nonsense, about solo release. jthj wasn't solo we know, but what difference does it make??? if people want to see the film they;ll go to it, regardless of how many other movies are playing, its just common sense. or is there some rule that you can only watch one movie out of the 2???

people should accept the reality, jthj failed to make a mark and it has nothing to do with solo release or not. ppl who wanna see srk movie, will go to watch it, regardless of SOS or whatever. stop making excuses. jthj was a disappointment; content wise and business wise, its clear.

ya ur right a movie releasing in 2350screens is expected to do more than a movie releasing in 3500+ screens

and what u think of excuses like cold weather, Ind - pakistan match, protests ?

everyone knew that D2 will make more business than JTHJ or talaash and it was expected to break 3Idiots and ETT record so lets see where it goes
