It is Slaman Khan and his latest released movie 'Dabangg' that is making news as it broke all box-office history in just one week.

The movie created a new history by breaking the opening weekend collection record of Aamir Khan's movie '3 Idiots', reports said.

Trade reports said 'Dabangg' has collected a massive amount of approximately Rs 48 crores in the opening weekend.

It is the first movie to earn such a huge amount of collections in the opening weekend itself, reports said.

Earlier, '3 Idiots' had created a new history at the box office by collecting Rs 41 crores in the opening weekend.

"Dabangg ne 'khan'phuse kar diya sab ko :)" tweeted Arbaaz Khan who not only acted in the movie but also produced it.

"At times I wonder whether my film is as gr8 in merit as the business suggests, honest answer is no? But I'm not complaining. I'm lovin it, " he remarked.

"3 idiots is 1 of my favorite films & an all time classic. I feel so proud when my film is discussed along w/ 3 idiots in terms of business, " he posted in his Twitter account 'arbaazSkhan'.

The audience has appreciated the role of Salman Khan as 'Chulbul Pandey' and has even liked Sonakshi, who started her B-Town journey with this film.

It is indeed a powerful comeback by Salman after his movies like 'Veer' and 'London Dreams' failed one after the other at the box-office in recent times.

Truly, the movie has set a benchmark for all the future movies about to release in the festive season ahead.
