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.
