Hollywood films have a huge market in China, but Hindi films haven’t yet reached out to a vast majority of the population. But Aamir Khan is changing all that and how!
His latest release ‘Dangal’ is all set to surpass a major Hollywood film like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, which has received critical acclaim across the world – but isn’t showing good trends in China.
In the next few days, Dangal is expected to do the unthinkable. On a day-to-day level, the film featuring the exceptional Aamir Khan will surpass Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 – which is running on many more shows and the average ticket price of the Hollywood film is also much higher.
Dangal has already beaten the footfalls (number of tickets sold) of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and could also beat its collections on Thursday.
While the mainstream media and even trade websites are deservingly hailing the success of ‘Bahubali 2: The Conclusion’, we have a Hindi film that is setting benchmarks and beating Hollywood in the world’s most populous country – China.
