The festival double whammy – Eid and Ganesh Chaturthi - and Salman's raw star power had audiences queuing outside cinema halls all over the country through the long weekend. The film grossed Rs 15.75 crores on its second day.
As per official sources the film has created a record by earning Rs 48 crores on the opening weekend, a decisive Rs 6 crores more than what 3 Idiots collected on its opening weekend.

Dabangg, that opened in theaters on September 10, has also surpassed Salman’s previous film records in the Gulf, UK (£332,673), North America – ($628,317) and with 14 prints, it grossed $80,000 in Australia on Friday alone making Dabangg Salman’s biggest hit overseas.

Dabangg's record collection prompted maverick film filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma to pronounce Dabangg helmer Abhinav Kashyup as the top director in Bollywood.

"Since all the top film pundits and film makers agree that Box Office collections of a film should be the only parameter to decide" RGV tweeted.

Dabangg team is already getting busy brain storming for a Dabangg sequel.
