Dishoom day 3 box office collections: Varun Dhawan, John Abraham posts sixth highest weekend earnings

While Sultan posted the highest revenue on weekend with Rs 180.36 earning. Housefull 3 at Rs 53.31 crore, Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan at Rs 52.35 crore, Airlift at Rs 44.3 crore and Baaghi at Rs 38.58 crore did better than Dishoom this year. The Rohit Dhawan directorial managed to do better than Udta Punjab.

Dishoom got mixed reviews but that didn’t stop audiences from flocking to the theatres. What worked for Dishoom was the fact that there has been no major Bollywood release since Salman Khan’s Sultan came out on July 6.

#Dishoom Fri 11.05 cr, Sat 12.02 cr, Sun 14.25 cr. Total: ₹ 37.32 cr. India biz. EXCELLENT!

Both John Abraham and Varun Dhawan have their fan base and Akshay Kumar’s cameo is working in Dishoom’s favour.
Dishoom also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Nargis Fakhri. Parineeti Chopra appears in a special dance number, ‘Jaaneman aah’.

#Dishoom biz was affected due to heavy rains in various parts of the country [torrential rains in Mumbai]. Else, biz would’ve been higher.
