Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 box office collection: Tigmanshu Dhulia's film earns Rs 2.75 cr in two days

Sanjay Dutt’s  Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3  opened well below expectations with an estimated Rs. 2.75 crore in ticket sales over Friday and Saturday in theatres across India.

According to Box Office India , the third instalment of Tigmanshu Dhulia-Rahul Mittra’s Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster franchise earned a mediocre Rs 1.25 crore on Day 1 of its release and Rs 1.5 crore on its second day. Its disappointing two-day estimate could be a result of the box office dominance of Mission Impossible - Fallout , which earned Rs 9.50 crore on its opening day alone , making it the sixth highest opening for a Hollywood release in the country.

The first instalment of Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster was released in 2011 and starred Jimmy Shergill , Mahie Gill and Randeep Hooda. The film revolved around a royal family of Uttar Pradesh. Its sequel titled Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns was made in 2013.

In the threequel, Sanjay Dutt takes the mantle of playing a gangster from Hooda and Irrfan Khan with Shergill and Gill once again reprising their respective roles from the franchise.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 also features Chitrangda Singh, Soha Ali Khan, Deepak Tijori and veteran actress Nafisa Ali.
