Despite the big releases like Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil, Aamir Khan’s Dangal is still way ahead of both the films. After making and breaking all the box office records, Dangal successfully completed its one-month box office journey on January 23.
In week 6 of its release, the movie did a business of Rs 28 lakhs on Friday, Rs 41 lakhs on Saturday and Rs 50 lakhs on Sunday, minting a total of Rs 385.06 crore so far.
The movie is still going strong at the box office and is all set to cross Rs 400 crore mark in the coming weeks. Not only domestically, but the film has also set the international market on fire.
As compared to Raees and Kaabil, Dangal crossed Rs 100 crore mark in just 3 days of its release and is still giving a tough fight to these two big films as far as box office figures are concerned.
