In the battle between Aamir Khan and Aamir Khan, the wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat has defeated the alien in one department at the Box Office. The sports drama Dangal has earned Rs 300 crore in the domestic market on the 13th day of its release, 23 December.
Now what makes this feat of Dangal commendable is that Aamir’s another movie PK took 17 days to achieve this. PK is so far the biggest blockbuster of Bollywood, so Dangal pacing ahead of it in this aspect is definitely brilliant.
Sharing these numbers, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted that Aamir Khan is setting new benchmarks in the film industry.
