In Pakistan: Dabangg2 destroys Don2, takes life out of Talaash!

Dabangg2 grosses the largest ever box office revenue on opening night.

The 2010 blockbuster Dabangg comes back with a bang with its sequel Dabangg2, which opened to a thunderous response at Pakistani box office. Grossing the largest ever box office revenue of Rs11.7 million on the opening night and Rs30 million over the first weekend, Chulbul Pandey’s charm seems to have worked again.

The movie, which is Arbaaz Khan’s first directorial venture and second installment to his previous production Dabangg, has been busy grossing the largest profits any Bollywood flick has ever witnessed. It has crossed the earlier highest grosser, Talaash, by many a million in the first few days. Additionally, the film also broke the previous record for the largest opening for any movie held by Shahrukh Khan’s Don2, which grossed 8.3 million on the first day.

According to a press release, the chairman of IMGC Global Amjad Rashid — who are the official distributors of Dabangg2 — expressed pleasure over the movie’s business in Pakistan, in a telephonic conversation.

Furthermore, Rashid has also invited Salman Khan to visit his fans in Pakistan.
