The business of Dabangg 3 has pretty gone much the way of Dilwale till now which was an Xmas release four years back. Dabanng 3 faced issues over the weekend in terms cinemas unable to screen the film due to external issues and it was a similar case with Dilwale though to a lesser level and it was not a solo release with a clash against Bajirao Mastaani.

The daily comparison sees Dabangg 3 have a ten crore lead over the first five days which suggests it should beat the lifetime numbers of Dilwale but the drops are bigger for Dabangg 3 from the weekend. Also Dilwale was a tighter release due to the clash with 3150 screens while Dabangg 3 (Hindi) has been released on 4550 screens. 

The first week of Dabangg 3 will easily be ahead of Dilwae as the big national holiday for Dilwale fell on the second Friday which meant it had decent second week collections of 31 crore nett which Dabangg 3 is unlikely to match. The first five day comparison of Dilwale (2015) and Dabangg 3 is as follows.
