A Quick Look Back at Dabangg 1, 2 and 3
The Dabangg franchise began in 2010 with the first film directed by Abhinav Kashyap. Salman Khan introduced fans to the fearless, quirky, and big-hearted cop Chulbul Pandey. Sonakshi Sinha made her Bollywood debut as Rajjo, and the film became a blockbuster thanks to its punchy dialogues, chartbuster songs and masala entertainment.
Dabangg 2 was released in 2012, directed by Arbaaz Khan himself. It continued Chulbul’s journey as a police officer, taking on new villains while also focusing on his family life with Rajjo. The film delivered the same massy entertainment and again turned into a box office hit.
Dabangg 3 arrived in 2019, directed by Prabhudeva. The film explored Chulbul Pandey’s origin story, showing how he became the much-loved Robin Hood cop. Though its release was affected by external circumstances, the film kept the franchise alive and maintained strong audience recall.
