Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Saiee Manjrekar starrer Dabangg 3 has finally seen some good collections six days after its release.

The film is a prequel to the other two parts of the franchise and sees Salman reprise his roel of Chulbul Pandey and Sonakshi as his wife Rajjo. Dabangg 3 is directed by Prabhudheva and also stars Arbaaz Khan, Mahie Gill and Kichcha Sudeep. The film has garnered Rs 119.55 crore in all versions.
