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.
