Aamir Khan’s Dangal has become the highest grosser of all-time, beating the collections of the superstar’s own film ‘PK’ which released during Christmas in 2014. The film has achieved the feat in just 17 days after its theatrical release on 23 December 2016.
Dangal should add around 15 crore during the remaining weekdays in its 3rd week, which should take its 3-week total to a humongous 360 crore net. The film will face competition for the first time in Week 4, with the release of ‘Ok Jaanu’. It isn’t a big film, but if it gets a good response Dangal could lose out. If it doesn’t, then Dangal would get a free run until 25 January, when two big films are scheduled to hit theatres.
The 4th weekend business will make it clear whether the film has a chance of crossing the 400 crore mark or not.
Dangal is the third consecutive ‘All Time Highest Grosser’ and ‘Highest Grosser of the Year’ for Aamir Khan. It’s also something that he has achieved with all his Christmas release beginning with ‘Ghajini’ (2008) and following it up with 3 Idiots (2009), Dhoom 3 (2013), PK (2014) and now Dangal (2016).
It’s a massive record that could prove to be beyond the reach of any other actor, atleast those who are in the latter half of their careers. When no other actor has more than 2, Aamir has 5 and given the quality of his films, he has better chances of adding to it.
Verdict: All Time Blockbuster
