Is Salman Khan more Dabangg than Rajinikanth?

Is Salman Khan more Dabangg than Rajinikanth: This is something that took us by shock. Rajinikanth, the sultan of style, getting sidelined by the likes of Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in our Bollywood3000 poll about who’s the most stylish actor on screen!

That Dabangg is going great guns at box office is well known, but we hadn’t anticipated that Salman’s antics would catapult him to a place higher than the one enjoyed by the 60-year-old Rajinikanth, who is worshipped by his loyal fans down south.

When it comes to style, there’s none like Rajini. But the readers of Bollywood3000 seem to feel otherwise.

2758 people cast their vote in the poll about the most stylish Indian actor on screen. The options were Rajinikanth, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan.

Salman topped the poll with an overwhelming 74 percent votes. Even Shahrukh did better than Rajinikanth and got 16 percent votes. The south superstar came last with an unbelievably low 10 percent votes.

Given the Endhiran craze that’s gripped the southern industry, it’s perplexing that Rajini saar hasn’t topped the poll.

Salman Khan’s Dabangg to make Non stop business at box office

Salman Khan’s Dabangg to make Non stop business at box office: Single screen theatres are witnessing a phenomenon right now; Salman Khan’s film Dabangg  is going great guns in its third week. The movie has grossed around Rs 10.75 crore nett over its third weekend, and it collected Rs 35-36 crore approx from its second week. Now its total seventeen-day business is Rs 127 crore approx.

Though the movie did well in its second week, it couldn’t match up 3 Idiots which had a record second week of Rs 56 crore approx. As per reports the coming weekday business should add another Rs 5-6 crore as there is no competition for Dabangg. The movie’s box office earnings are likely to touch Rs 132-133 crore after three weeks. Dabangg also gave Salman his third all-time blockbuster after Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

However, the fourth weekend will come as a challenge for the film, as Anjaana Anjaani and Endhiran (Robot) both are releasing on October 1.What comes as a disappointment for the makers is Dabangg’s satellite revenue.

The satellite rights of the movie are already sold for around Rs 10 crore but seeing its fantastic success at the BO the rights could have been worth Rs 30-35 crore, if not more.

Arbaaz is reportedly in a mood to invite a lot of his friends and colleagues from the film industry to the celebration party. The list is long but it would include all the major stars from the industry, with the exception of just a few. We hear that the Bachchans, Kapoors, Sinhas and Roshans will be in the guest list. Aamir Khan will definitely be invited. Shahrukh Khan, definitely not.
