New Delhi: Bollywood's Mr Perfectionst Aamir Khan has done what other cannot imagine of doing. The superstar's film 'Dangal' has crossed over Rs 200 crore in China and that in itself is not a mean feat.
If 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' has achieved historic records then 'Danga' too is not far behind and its historic success in China is a solid proof of it. Noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the recent figures of the film in China.
Did you ever imagine an Indian film dislodging Hollywood films and occupying No 1 spot at China BO? Cross ₹ 200 cr in China? #Dangal

The film is a biopic based on the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat who taught wrestling to daughters Geeta and Babita despite receiving flak from the peers. While Geeta became India's first female wrestler to win gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in 55 kg. Her sister Babita Kumari won the silver medal in 51 kg.
The film features Aamir in the lead, besides Sakshi Tanwar, debutantes Fatima Sana Sheikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim and Suhani Bhatnagar playing pivotal parts. In China 'Dangal' was released as 'Shuai Jiao Baba', which means 'Let's Wrestle, Dad'.
'Dangal' has broken Aamir's 'PK' record of minting Rs 100 crore in China. It made the money in 16 days becoming the first ever Bollywood film to mint such a huge moolah there. 'PK' released in 2015.
