Dangal 400 crore: First real competition from tomorrow

Aamir Khan’s Dangal will end Week 3 with net collections of Rs 360 crore at the domestic box office. The film has had a phenomenal run, but the first real speed-breaker could come with the release of the first Hindi film of 2017 – ‘Ok Jaanu’ starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, and the Hollywood film ‘xXx: Return of the Xander’ which marks the debut of Deepika Padukone in Hollywood.

The week-wise drop for Dangal is as follows:

  • Week 1 – 197.54 crore
  • Week 2 – 115.96 crore (41.3% drop)
  • Week 3 – 46.4 crore (60% drop)

The drop from the first week to second was outstanding, as the film was helped by the Christmas – New Year holiday season. The drop from Week 2 to 3 is excellent too, and better than the best trending films of 2016.

But the hold in the fourth weekend will decide if Dangal can eventually cross the 400 crore mark or finish with lifetime business of around 380-390 crore. The response to the two new releases this week will also play a major role, because if ‘Ok Jaanu’, ‘xXx’ or one of the two releases are received well, then ‘Dangal’ will automatically become the second choice – more so for the repeat-viewing audience. Else it would once again get a open run until the release of ‘Raees’ and ‘Kaabil’ on Jan 25.

For a film that has achieved almost everything at the box office, the 400 crore mark remains the only major landmark that remains unconquered. It would need one final big push in the fourth weekend to become the first film to touch 400.

  • 400 cr is out of reach now. The week 3 without any competition has produced a drop of 60% so it is nearly impossible to get to 400 cr. Also, it has reached saturation in terms of the viewers. Neverthless, getting to 380Cr is a big achievement and a safe bet till Thugs of Hindostan comes in Diwali 2018. Ofcourse TZH and Tubelight will start with a bang but will eventually fizz out after first one week…

  • Only 5 more crore left for aamir to become highest grossing actor of 2016 by beating joker boy’s 3 craps combined in 2016. !!!!

  • every record is just broken by this movie but it just looking something is missing type feeling so we desperately want that this movie cross or touch the 400 cr barrier

  • I wish this film to cross 400 cr
    aamir has done very hard work for dangal he give his best to make this film good
    I really salute this man to make us proud in world
    Indian film industry is not less than Hollywood
    only good films needed to beat Hollywood
    I wish srk to make good film rather than masala romcom films

  • No 400 Cr. Open Week is Over. That’s mean no all time 4th Week.

    4th week collection will be less than Bajrangi Bhaijaan let alone PK or 3 Idiots. Mark it.

  • khaali dangal mein ab koi competitors aaye..wo bhi aftr three weeks !..had there been a few opponents ,it would have hardly crossed 200 crores !

  • 3 Weeks Ago
    On the Same @Indicine page
    Except Aamir Fans & Few Salman Fans
    90% Users said DANGAL wont Cross 200 crore & SULTAN will be HGOTY.
    (including Aamir fan @Navin)
    Even Our Own No 1 Trade Site
    @Indicine said Without Commercial Element,Popular Co-Stars & Christmas,Newyear is Falling on Sunday so even 250 will be an uphill task for DANGAL this time.
    And I said
    ‘HATERS GET YOUR EXCUSES READY because
    AAMIR Khans Movies always exceeds all the BO Expectations
    GHAJINI,3 IDIOTS,D3,PK were examples’.
    And Aamir has done it again.
    42+ Cr. On a Single Day
    107 CR Weekend
    New Club 350 Cr.
    375 Cr.Lifetime
    (even 400 would have been possible If Christnas & NY Had fallen on any other day )
    700(approx) Cr.in 1st Phase
    And Dont forget No biopic has Crossed 130 Cr.
    1st 250+ Cr. Movie Without Any Popular Leading Lady
    And Demonetisation affected Dangal at the smaller centres
    And Result
    Forget HGOTY DANGAL is
    ALL SET To BECOME HGOTD.
    4 Cr. FFs Possible
    (Highest in Multiplex Era)
    Within 2 Week has topped 6 Circuits out of 13 & Can do Clean Sweep across India-Biggest Blockbuster of Indian Cinema after SHOLAY & HAHK.
    Aamir Khan -Take A Bow Sir Whenever You release Your films BO realises its TRUE POTENTIAL.

  • Thank God Aamir khan didn’t release Dangal on December 16 , otherwise it would even create 500 crores club ..
    Truth should be told .

  • 370-375 maximum as many screens will decrease from tomorrow onward. If ok janu doesn’t click then people have another option in the name of XXX-return of cage xander & two biggie is coming in the next week.

  • Film trade analyst Komal Nahta confirmed the news in a tweet. “Confirmed news, guys. Absolutely great news. Shah Rukh Khan will play an important cameo in… hold your breath… Salman Khan’s Tubelight!,” he wrote.

    Confirmed news,guys. Absolutely great news. ShahRukhKhan wil play an important cameo in…. hold your breath… Salman Khan’s Tubelight!!!!

  • Only SRK can do 400 cr. If get 5 week, highest ticket prices, tex free & paid reviews ( press screening 2 days before releases). Shame amir.

  • @Tubelight – the crap 2017 , ha ha ha. It is like rohit sharma fan is judging about kohli and sachin’s outstanding consistency. Your aukaatless recordless salman cant even dream such records as he always chases records. Making and breakubg records is not his cup of tea. He will always remain smaller star than aamir. Tubelight’s fuse will be out in just 1 week and it will struggle to cross 300 crores. 300 crore is cake walk for real megastar aamir khan while lallu struggled to crawl over 300 crores despite the backing of yrf, anushka, hiked ticket price, mass friendly script and everything. That is the differnece between father (Aamir) and son (salman). Dangal will easily cross BB’s 4th week collections and pk and 3 idiots are also aamir movies so whats your point?

  • All movie goers who watch 1-2 movies a year reserve their date with Aamir Khan …. and this is where he scores over Salman Khan …. i have a feeling TZH will score bigger than Dangal

  • not known starcast other then Aamir,demonitisation,xmas newyear on sunday,no celebrated director,no chartbuster songs,less commercial then also almost 40-45cr more collection then last highest grosser yet its not record breaker movie for boi & indicine ‘wow’. excuses are there like xmas,tax exemption,free run. free run ki baat h to uske liye aukaat honi chahiye. tax exemption ese hi nhi milta mehnat,lagan se milta h. or jaha tak xmas ki baat h to saab xmas films k collection dekh lo aamir jesa performance koi nahi de paaya. & opening weekend defines stardom or check karlo wo records bhi pata lag jaega.

  • Fri – 2.5cr
    Sat- 4.5cr
    Sun- 7cr

    I think the family audiences will once again come out in big numbers on Sat n Sunday…!

    A 15cr wknd total is essential to get close to 400cr but if it manages anything less like 11/12cr then final lifetime total could be 385/390cr…!

  • Fridays collection is almost insignificant as is all about that Sat to Sunday jump n it needs a big jump on Sunday which I believe will happen…!

    Be positive ppl
