‘Dangal’ managed to break so many records but failed to beat ‘3 Idiots’ in fourth week

Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ has had a massive run at the box office. The film that introduced new faces of Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim, and Suhani Bhatnagar, managed to impress one and all and the result was the smashing collection the film made. Even in its fourth week, ‘Dangal’ did have a fair run with Rs 14.50 crore in kitty. With this collection, ‘Dangal’ has become the second highest fourth grosser film.

Even though, ‘Dangal’ raced ahead of films like ‘PK’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, it failed to cross the record set by ‘3 Idiots’. Rajkumar Hirani’s film that featured Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi had minted Rs 5.95 crore nett at the box office in its fourth week way back in 2009.

Well, the difference is not too much and moolah has fallen in Aamir’s kitty for the both the films, so its time to rejoice for Mr Perfectionist.

Now we await the other Khan, Shah Rukh Khan’s big release ‘Raees’ at the box office. It is clashing with Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’.
