Dangal records 2nd highest first week of all time

Aamir Khan’s Dangal has recorded the second highest first week collections of all-time, ahead of all other films except the first week business of Salman Khan’s Sultan which released earlier this year.

Sultan is the only film to record more than 200 crore in the first week itself, but the film had the advantage of an extended 5-day weekend including 2 holidays for Eid and Sunday.

Dangal on the other hand, had just one major holiday – which was for both Christmas and Sunday.

The Top 5 is dominated by Salman and Aamir, each of their last 3 films have managed to make it to the Top 5.

This year, 7 films have managed to make it to the all-time Top 30 list.

  • Dangal will definitely cross 300cr mark and will beat Bajranghi Bhaijaan Lifetime collection! But the Question is: Can it break Pk record as it has competion from Ok Jaanu in its 4th Week(Minimal damage) and Raees and Kaabil in its 6th Week. I think it can if the trend is better in the 2ns and 3rd Week!!!

  • #Dangal s on a destuctive mood so far.
    Let’s see how n where dis ruthless monstar will stop.

    Waiting for #Raees
    25 jan

  • Cheap aamir is the worst actor ever !! Remember what happened during dilwale he spoke about intolerence just to add fuel to fire and put a break on srks career and now see there is no boycott against dangal !! Really what a plan that was Mr Aamir !! Now he is after salman !! Most insecure person !! All his life was behind SRK now for rest of his life will stay behind Salman !! Insecure person !!
    @indicine post it fast
    Everyone should now this guys truth

  • HAVOC!!!
    1st Movie in the History of Bollywood to Collect 20+Cr. on Each day
    #DangalMania
    BTW Week 1 Collection
    DANGAL>>DHOOM 3
    Haters
    Dhoom Brand is ‘BIG’ But
    AAMIR Brand is the ‘BIGGEST’.

  • As Usual Haters are giving shitty Excuses like
    DANGAL is UNSTOPPABLE at BO due to XMAS,Holidays, Winter Vacation etc etc.
    But Last Year XMAS
    1st Week
    DILWALE+BM (5600 Scr)Feat.Biggest Actor SRK,
    Biggest Actress,Top New Comers,Best Directors=189 Cr
    &
    Dangal(4200 Screens)=198 Cr.

  • @akki llb- Christmas pe Dabangg 2, Don 2, Dilwale, Tees maar khan, etc films aayi kya kr liya inhone.
    Accept the truth man , Aamir is an ace.

    Nxt movie of aamir is coming on Diwali 2018, so this perception will also be proved wrong.

  • dangal one holiday in the first week 197cr
    sultan two holidays in the first week 208
    if dangal had 2 holidays in the first week so definitely 215cr week one

  • dangal will beat sultan only in 12days or 13days power of Aamir khan without big actress and without big director

  • It’s not fair to put that way the collection of Dangal. It’s actually the highest 1st week grosser compare to Sultan. If you count in day wise then Sultan the second best. Count on collection on first 7 days. Sultan was release on Wednesday. So if you add another 2 day collection it will surpass Sultan. Minimum 196cr + 39cr (assume on Friday 18.4+20.6)= 235cr which is very huge compare to Sultan. So, according to my calculation Dangal is the winner!!!!!!

  • But for me Dangal at 1st position bcoz there was no national holiday in week days it had collect 90.53 cr between monday to thursday it will be going to very difficult to break dis record in future

  • @movie buff Sultan had 2 holidays dude. Dangal had only 1 that too on Sunday. And Sultan didn’t suffer from demonetization.

  • Fri – 17 cr
    Sat – 23 cr
    Sun – 27 cr
    Weekend – 67 cr
    Dangal will be 1st film to cross 100 cr on 2nd week… Mark my words
    Aamir will open again New club 350 cr or 400 cr that is the question otherwise pk record is no more now looking at this moment… Aamir rocks again real king of the Bollywood… Love by Salman-aamir fan

  • Dangal doing 20 CR+ on 7 consecutive days is just amazing . The kind of trend Dangal has shown in the weekdays has given Dangal a great chance to enter 300 CR Club and beat BB and PK . The 2nd weekend collections will determine how quickly Dangal will cross 250 CR . There is no competition till 12th Jan . There are 3 releases on 13th Jan – OK Jaanu, Haraamkhor and XXX . So there is a lot of time to maintain the tempo . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Title of tube light is directly proportional to Salman’s Mental response like tube light
    …………………………..HahahahaHahahaha……………………………………….

  • Salman bhai….. Aap itne bade star hain to PK record apne kyun nahi
    Today abhi tak ?

    You only break Driving rules..that’s not Fair

  • This is insane.
    Dangal 4 weekdays collection is 90cr+, this is bigger than most of big films first weekend collectioncollection and most important is the last 4 days doesn’t have any full fledged holiday.
    Dangal has beaten both D3 (franchise) and PK (Raju Hirani) with a Christmas period benefitted first week with Single holiday. Haters what you say. The only excuse left is the Christmas period, his next Thugs of Hindostan will beat that myth too.

    The Competition is between Aamir vs Aamir and Aamir vs Salman.

    Records which will thrash in coming days by dangal.
    Highest second weekend – Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Salman)
    Highest Second week- PK (Aamir)
    Highest Grosser of the 2016- Sultan (Salman)
    Highest Grosser of All time – PK (Aamir)
    Highest footfall post Gadar – Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Salman)

    Even if Dangal missed the footfalls figures despite surpassing PK net, still Aamir will remain class apart as after BB the footfalls will shared by PK,Dangal and 3i.

    Aamir with Christmas, 5 atbb in a row
    Christmas without Aamir – 2 Blockbusters only (Welcome,dabangg2) in last 10 years.
