The most awaited movie of the year 'Dabangg' has had a wonderful opening. Interestingly, its first weekend's collection was more than that of 3Idiots, which uptill now was the highest gainer.

Salman Khan and Arbaz Khan starrer grossed 14.5 crore on the very first day of its opening, that is Thursday, September 9, 2010, whereas 3Idiots that was released on the eve of Christmas last year had earned 13 crore on the first day.

Trade analyst, Taran Adarsh said, "Dabangg is one film that everyone wants to watch because of the hype that Salman created before release. It has generated tremendous curiosity amongst the audiences.

One really cannot comment on whether it will surpass 3 Idiot's collection but the initial collection is certainly a clear indication that the film is going to be one of the biggest hits ever." He also noted that the long festive weekend is also one of the criteria for such a great opening.

Actor Shelley Malil is declared guilty and faces life imprisonment for a planned attempted murder of Kendra Beebe and also for physical attack with lethal weapon. The verdict was announced on Thursday, September 16, 2010.

Malil, who played the character of Haziz in 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' reportedly, stabbed Beebe 23 times. Malil's defence lawyer claims, "He was under attack. If he wanted to kill her, he could have done it right there."

During the trial, Shelly alleged, "Someone was hitting me with something, and all I had was this knife, and I just went bananas with the thing. And Kendra kept saying, 'Ali, call 911,' and that was the first time I realized that it was Kendra that I was fighting with."

On the other hand Beebe feels that it was a game plan between her ex-husband and Malil. She said, "Phone records that were presented during this trial accurately show Malil and my ex had numerous contacts in the hours prior to my stabbing."
