After setting the domestic box office on fire, Aamir Khan’s Dangal is now ruling the China box office like a boss. The film released in around 7000 screens in China as “Shuai Jiao Baba” on May 5 which means “Let’s Wrestle, Dad”. In just 9 days of its release in China, Dangal is all set to cross its lifetime collection in India, which is a very big achievement for any Hindi film.
In week 2 of its release, Dangal has done a business of $ 6.21 million on Friday and $ 13.66 million on Saturday, minting a total of $ 46.98 million so far, which roughly counts to Rs 301.50 crore. In fact, the film’s lifetime India collection is Rs 387.38 crore, which clearly shows that Dangal’s‘ China collection will surpass these figures in a day or two.
Reacting to the overwhelming response to the movie, Aamir told IANS over email: “Me and the entire team of Dangal are very touched with the love and affection that our film Dangal is getting in China. I have been visiting Chinese social media websites and reading translations of the reactions. It is truly moving to see such a strong emotional bond that the Chinese have with our film.
“On behalf of our entire team, I would like to thank our Chinese audience and want them to know that we are all so happy. And I would like to thank our distributors in China for giving our film such a nice release.” In the past, Aamir’s 3 Idiots and PK did well in China.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter and wrote that not only in China but Dangal has also become the highest grosser in Australia as well. Here’s a look at his tweets:
