Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ makes a new record by crossing Rs 2000 crore mark

Aamir Khan’s last release ‘Dangal‘ screamed women empowerment. The movie was about a father who prepares his daughters to make it big in the field of wrestling, a male dominant arena. The film received amazing reviews from the critics and managed to fare well at box office too. Not just in India, even overseas, ‘Dangal’ managed to score high. It recently released to a fabulous response in China. As per the latest reports, ‘Dangal’ has managed set a new benchmark for film by crossing a mark of Rs 2000 crore worldwide.

According to the Forbes’ report, “It (Dangal) stands alone as the leggiest film in Chinese box office history with an opening day multiple of 86x. The closest contender to that record is Zootopia-like Dangal, incidentally, a film funded and distributed by Disney-but Dangal left Zootopia in its dust long ago when it surpassed the animated family film’s multiple of 69x.”

Isn’t that a great news? ‘Dangal’ starred Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra in the lead apart from Aamir Khan. It was based on the life of real life wrestlers Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, and their father Mahavir Singh Phogat.
