Aamir Khan’s Dangal has set a lot of records and more importantly won the love of the audience in the last 10 days. It’s a difficult task to sum it all up in one article, because Dangal is one of those rarest of rare films that hasn’t just destroyed box office records but has also won over the critics and the love of the audience.
‘3 Idiots’ was probably the last film that was collectively praised as the best film of the decade and ‘Dangal’ is probably the film of this decade – followed closely by ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. The Kabir Khan directed film was loved too, but it couldn’t reach its full potential at the box office because of other classics that released during the same period. On the other hand, PK was controversial, most loved it, but many consider it to be Rajkumar Hirani’s weakest film (which is still better the best of other directors).
Some records and achievements of Dangal:
- It’s the most critically acclaimed film of 2016, ahead of Pink and Neerja. The only film to score more than 4 on our critic review scale.
- It’s the highest rated Hindi film of 2016 on IMDb, the film has managed to score 9.2 on 10.
- Dangal recorded the 8th Highest Opening Day of all time and the 2nd Highest Opening Day of 2016.
- Dangal recorded the 3rd Highest Opening Weekend of all time and the Highest Opening Week of 2016.
- It managed to come 2nd in both the Highest Opening First Week of 2016 and All-Time.
- It topped the list of Highest 2nd Weekend Collections of 2016 and All-Time.
- Dangal is the only film to collect more than 70 crore in the 2nd weekend.
- Dangal is the best trending film since 3 Idiots, bettering other major grossers like PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Records that it could achieve in the next few weeks (will be updated)
- Likely to be the Highest Grosser of All Time, beating the collections of PK (341 crore) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (321 crore)
- It’s also likely to be the first film to cross the 350 crore mark.
- It could become the first film to cross 400 crore at the domestic box office.

A humble request to all Aamir fans..
Let’s rejoice it’s our happy times..
Icon whome we love and adore has given us a masterpiece to cherish..
But in our joy let’s not belittle anyone..
This is not something what an Aamir fan does..
I see many fans are abusing Salman and SRK..
To appreciate someone you don’t be degrade anyone..
Let’s respect Salman and SRK as they too are master in their field..
Love from an Aamir fan..
All Time high ticket prices, Solo Release, 5 Open Weeks, Paid reviews, Tex Free Status in many states. If Raees gets same advantage it will do 500 cr
honestly speaking ….Amir tried hand to surpass stardom of SRK in 90’s but failed miserably….than in 2000 he started movie on good scripts rather than heroism…as he surrender to SRK in filmfare award. DDLJ V.S RANGEELA…he is a such fool xpecting a award for his tiny role with hugely popular DDLJ without SRK DDLJ is nothing…
in 2000 his stardom declines and stared to search role with good script such as Lgaan, rang de,tzp, (dil chahata hai multistarer) but failed to beat the stardom of SRK….again he started remake ghajini to gain some poplarity
3idiots come in his rescue and so on….somewhere he come to know he cannot be hero like sallu and SRK he is good in story telling and as character..ppl remember bhuvan more than amir as star….i respect him and his work…
one thing am sure he cannot be superstar or ideal of anyone….even his dangal do 500cr..nobody care….or even raess or tubelight reach 200/300cr it will be more than 500cr for their core fans…thats the stardom.
finally, Amir has no stardom at all….zero…if films script bad Amir is Dhobi ghat or Talaash….
Dangal won’t cross 400 cr. The ring ‘rehnuma’ will be first 400 cr movie. Indicine & all readers mark it.
Thanks Indicine Team!
A very good article about Aamir’s Dangal and it’s phenomenal box-office collection. A thorough report. I don’t see any bias comments here as many claimed since the release of the film. Though the prediction part was really a tough one and stick to Sultan. But one thing that I remember you said a very true statement about stardom of Aamir and his fans. That is he got that extra audience that usually don’t watch movies but make it a point to watch Aamir’s. Even he (aamir) got higher number of educated, white collared,elite group and wealthy fans admire his work.
Reply to ur 2 answers.stop manipulating things again and again.Speaking on behalf of all Aamir fans out here.
1.Out of 4 released aamir movies,3 are not only BB or more but infact all r not only ATBB’s but also HGOTY and ATHG as well.u r undermining those 3 ATBB’s.
2.Talaash was not average but Semi hit,mind that
3.Why don’t other stars also hike tickets.hiked tickets mean lesser footfalls if audience doesn’t feel satisfied.highest FF record for this decade also belonged to AAMIR till BB happened last year.but dangal is going to thrash that footfall record this decade of BB.
4.Sallu didn’t had 10 but 11 releases during the decade.u forgot veer in early 2010.so,by ur logic sallu also had 3 times more releases (2.75 infact 11/4) than aamir to give those 3 times BB(2.66 infact 8/3).
5.Sallu only had 1 ATBB during the decade(BB) compared to 3 by Aamir.so,aamir has 3 times more ATBB’s than sallu.(what abt that indicine).
6.By your silly logic,ATHG and ATBB by aamir r equivalent to those small Blockbusters like Ready and Bodyguard,which did 60% and 70% respectively of 3idiots after 2 years of 3idiots release.Also,kick which did 213 cr compared to 337 cr of PK in 2014.
7.Min. gurantee but aamir movies r most profitable my dear indicine,how.
Stop living in a fool’s paradise and accept the reality and logic.
Q. Is Aamir Khan the new No.1 because his films not only open well but become the highest grossers of the year as well as till date then? Why is Salman still the No.1 when Aamir’s box office supremacy is ahead of Salman’s?
A. It’s not just the collections that decides which star is the biggest. Higher ticket prices will obviously result in higher collections. What we look at is the footfalls (number of ticket sold) and also the ability of a star to bring audience to theatres all across the country. Single-screens may not contribute much to the collections of the film – 1 lakh people watching Sultan at a single-screen in Bihar, might just contribute 20 lakhs to the net collections of the film, whereas at a Gurgaon multiplex the same collections could be achieved with just 10,000 people watching the film. This is just an example, the gap isn’t that huge between Aamir and Salman. On sheer crowd pulling ability, it’s Salman who is the number one box office draw. Period.
When a Salman film releases, distributors are assured of a minimum guarantee in return. That’s not to say all of his films have worked. Jai Ho was loss-making and even Kick didn’t recover investment for quite a few distributors because it was sold for very high prices.
Q. Does this decade so far belong to Salman or Amir? Don’t say both. Pick only one.
A. Aamir has done just 4 films this decade, three blockbusters or better. One average grosser. Salman Khan has done 10 films, out of those 8 were blockbusters. Salman has nearly 3 times the number of blockbusters, so the decade, so far, belongs to him.
Just for fun:not to hurt any fan base.
After dangal record breaking run all stars gathered and talking abt dangal and aamir why his movies become HGOAT
Srk :Aamir ko beat karna mushkil hi nhi namumkin hai
Salman:Mere toh na dil mein aur na hi samajh mein aata hai k aamir ko kaise beat karna.
Ajay Devgan:Aata majhi satakli
Irfan Khan:Is aamir ka record main hi tod sakta hun.maano ya na maano.he can’t beat me.slum dog millionaire and Jurassic world yaad hai na.
Nawaz:rahne do dosto.tumse na ho payega.
Indicine shows dishonest and fandom in every Dangal article by slyly injecting BB into the mix and somehow pretending that BB is big a hit as 3 Idiots.
why ohers fans abuse aamir khan,top indian director like hirani,rajmouli,Shankar,manirathnam approaches for doing flims with aamir khan,aamir khan doing 2,3 flims every year he become most crowd puller india.the gap between two flims of aamir khan make advantanges of salman khan.he become star at that time,when aamir khan come with a flim,salman down,its true,let seen it past and future.
when aamir khan collaborated rajmouli.its collection become 1500cc in word wide,wait and see after thugs of hindostan.rajmouli planning a conjoint twins movies.one head and two bodies.wait that performance of aamir khan
Aamir is the most underrated Superstar. Everybody tag SRK as the most versatile actor but Aamir has acted in films like Lagaan, Rang De Basanty, Ghajini, Tare Zameen Paar, Taalash, Fanaa, Dhoom 3, PK, 3 Idiot. In all these films he brought new characters and played those flawlessly, still, he did not get any award. And they said some awards are not gained by powe. Salman Khan is tagged as the Box Office king but Aamir was the one to introduce 100 corer, 200 corer , 300 corer, 350 corer. Aamir sir, proud of you
Salute to The Emperor of Bollywood.
Quality first, then followed by the collection. This is how a movie should work actually…
Will Patiently waiting for your next biggie in 2018. Okay next year.. Next year!! I get to used to Aamir’s style : one movie in two or three or four years ??
@Indivine you Forget this Is a BO Club Founder movie Before put your money On Sultaan As HGOTY or U Forget that It Is Aamir
Movie….
700+ crore WW
There Was Two year for Salman to break PK Record But it Is only Aamir Who can break His Record.

Respect ? from a SRK fan. SRK is behind already but even Salman cannot touch these box office numbers now. Dangal looked a relatively weaker Aamir movie (compared to 3I, Dhoom 3 and PK), yet look at the BO numbers.
salman success was is will be forever, becouse no jelous 2 other people
Why do I sense that we are always looking for reasons/excuses as to why Dangal did better than Bajrangi Bhaijaan…..
Every film has its own destiny and its just that Dangal has been more loved than both PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Remember that both BB and PK had footfalls in similar range……Dangal though shall surpass the highest no. of footfalls by a margin!!!
peoples are thar much crazy for the one who abused our motherland …
koi tumhari maa ko gali dega usko bhi maaf kar dena ….jeisa isko kar diya …
and ya one thing dangal can never break the record of footfalls of bajrangi bhaijaan (even after got a tough battle with a masterpiece like bahubali ).
nd sultan with kabali …
dangal with no major release
high ticket price as always ..
still cant beat the footfalls i guarantees u ..
intolerant amir ..
jai hind …
im an agnostic, so for me pk is much better than 3idiots & im yet to watch dangal, but im almost sure that pk will remain my favorite aamir khan film even after watching dangal.
ddlj is my all time favorite movie though.
There is one thing which is bigger than every Superstar and Megastar and it is CONTENT. Aamir rarely disappoints in that like Dhoom 3. I would still say Salman Khan is biggest Megastar than Aamir but Aamir with Content is a deadly and unbeatable combo. And no one can beat that, he is a parallel industry in Bollywood.
League of his own, and that’s the biggest praise any actor could get.
Amir Khan Great Actor in Bollywood History, but not forgot SRK and Salman Khan
manipulated figures!! just ignore bc
Dangal will collect 370cr net in India in 4 weeks.
@Sultan Gem ha ha ha. Are you drunk or what? Aamir is light years bigger star than puny flopstar srk in megastardom. We all saw srk’s stardom last year in april with pankha which failed to beat aamir’s talaash. Only 80 cr life time. Wait and eatch for raees as it also womt cross talaash life time. In stardom aamir is biggest and salman and srk are nothing in front of him. We also remember salman’s string of flops and disasters in last decade as well as veer and jai ho.. so stay in your limit you jerk stardomless tiny actor’s fan.
@hrithik good joke. Salman is bigger megastar than aamir? Lol. he is not even a star in front of aamir. Aamir is much bigger megastar than salman. You fool it is not just content it is aamir’s megastardom you gawaar bhojpuri. Aamir is light years ahead of salman in stardom. Neither Tubelight nor TZH will come anywhere close to ultimate megastar aamir khan’s dangal. Aamir>>>salman+ srk combined. Period.
Agar collection ki baat hai to Hum aapke hai kon ka adjusted collection 720 cr hai in india (will send u a link if u want )
Bajrangi bhaijaan – 320cr ( competition with bahubali”masterpiece” 600cr worldwide)
Sultan -300cr ( leaked before release+ competition with kabali (600cr worldwide) after one week of release and we all know there was a manupulation in collection by producer bcoz of deal between pro and salman
Pk and dangal solo release no competition and highest avg ticket price , bb and sultan avg ticket price was low..
Dont believe me go nd search urself what i said …
Btw dangal is a good movie ..
Dangal ka ho gaya mangal ab to aage badho munna Indicine & posts stuff on other movies also.
@Sammy keep crying cry baby. Dangal has single handedly thrashed salman’s all craps. Crying and giving excuses wont work. Accept it that aamir is much bigger star than salman. Fake foot falls doesnt make any sence. No one counts actual fopt falls. Dangal, pk and 3 idiots are baaps of HAHK, BB and lultan.
