Dabangg

Dabangg  is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Abhinav Kashyap, and produced by Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan under Arbaaz Khan Productions, and Dhillin Mehta under Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd. Khan’s elder brother Salman Khan stars in the lead role, with Sonakshi Sinha in her acting debut, Arbaaz, Om Puri, Dimple Kapadia, Vinod Khanna, Anupam Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar and Mahie Gill featuring in supporting roles, while Sonu Sood plays the main antagonist. The film marks the debut of Arbaaz as a producer and Kashyap as a director. Malaika Arora appears in the item number “Munni Badnaam Hui”.
Dabangg is set in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and tells the story of a fearless police officer, Chulbul Pandey, and his troubled relationship with his stepfather and half-brother. Made with a budget of ₹300 million and marketed at ₹120 million, Dabangg was shot primarily in the town of Wai in Maharashtra, while other major scenes were shot in the United Arab Emirates.
Dabangg was released during Eid-Ul-Fitr on 10 September 2010 in nearly 2100 cinemas worldwide. It opened to generally positive reviews, and went on to gross ₹2.19 billion ($47 million) worldwide. It is the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2010. Dabangg has won several awards—the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and six Filmfare Awards, including Best Film and Best Female Debut (Sinha). Later remade in Tamil as Osthe and in Telugu as Gabbar Singh, the film was followed by two sequels: Dabangg 2 (2012) and Dabangg 3 (2019). The latter serves as a partial prequel, describing a flashback which formed the events of Dabangg itself.
