In the movie, Salman Khan can be seen romancing Saiee Manjrekar. Sonakshi Sinha also features in the movie as his wife Rajjo.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that Dabangg 3 did a fair business all because of Salman Khan's star power, however things would have been glorifying if there were no protests in India.
#Dabangg3 hits ₹ 20 cr+ on Day 1 thanks largely to #SalmanKhan’s star power... Day 1 biz would’ve easily been much, much higher had it not been for the protests... Resultantly, biz kept fluctuating throughout the day... A substantial sum was lost due to this reason...
