Dabanggbroke many records in Bollywood after its release in September last year. It became the highest opening day grosser, and the second highest box office earner in Bollywood. It seems accolades forDabangg would never stop. The latest is that the movie's song 'Munni Badnaam' was awarded a Guinness World Record for being the song danced for with the highest number of people. The feat, which was organised with 1200 dancers at the Indian Film Festival being held at Melbourne, was not planned for a record, but the Guinness World Record judges present at the venue, acknowledged that it broke the earlier record set in Singapore with 1008 dancers. The Guinness World Records organisers presented Dabangg's producer Arbaaz Khan with a certificate recording the achievement.
Some earlier Guinness World Records for Indian movies includes the Tamil movieSuyamvaram, which was filmed, edited and released in a record 23 hours and 58 minutes. Telugu comedian Brahmanandam was presented a Guinness World Record for appearing in 857 movies in a 20 year period. Abhishek Bachchan too earned a place in the Guinness Records when he made the highest number of public appearances in 12 hours, travelling to seven Indian cities, promoting his 2009 movie Delhi 6.
The Indian movie industry by itself is specially marked in the Guinness for producing the highest number of movies in the world, which is twice the number of movies produced in Hollywood. Hyderabad based Ramoji Film City is the world's largest film studio spread across 1666 acres, with a movie set for almost any scene, from an Indian railway station to a UK suburb to the Mughal gardens to even the Wild West.
