Aamir Khan’s Dangal has exceeded even the highest of expectations, as a sports-based film without the typical commercial ingredients or a popular leading lady (romantic angles can be a major factor at smaller centres), has recorded one of the biggest days in the history of Indian Cinema.
The abnormally high growth on Sunday and the fact that smaller centres too have shown growth, now means that the film has a very good chance of becoming the highest grosser of the year. The trend is extraordinary over the weekend, because the film opened well on Friday, peaked at multiplexes on Saturday (evening onwards) and then went up further on Sunday with the Christmas holiday giving the film an additional boost of around 5%.
The credit for both the content of Dangal and the kind of numbers that the film has put up at the box office over the weekend – should go almost entirely to Aamir Khan. He has seen it through, right from the scripting stages and casting stages to eventually the record-breaking box office numbers.
Monday and the next couple of days could well decide where the film is heading. If the film falls below the 20 crore mark on Monday, then a 300 crore plus total would be difficult to achieve. If it manages to hold in the range of 22-24 crore, then the 300 crore mark is almost a certainty.
Ticket prices at multiplex chains are down from the weekend levels today, this will have an impact on collections even though the occupancy in the morning continued to remain high – with some places close to Friday levels.
Our LBO prediction has been delayed by a day, because we simply couldn’t pick the trend or analyse it the way we wanted to do it. The picture is more clearer now, so the final prediction will be up in about an hour from now. Do stay tuned for that.

All time highest is HNY thulle , pale usko todke toh dekho
Highest single day ever. Everyone knows that HNY was fake. Salman and Aamir don’t need to fudge collections.
OMG! I haven’t expected this much. Highest single day collections ever now belongs to Aamir Khan.
So its proved now that the opening collections and lifetime collections of crap film like hny was manipulated by srk……
Shame on u srk and his bhakts….
Now before blaming others first chk ur idols fake collections…. hahahahha…
Shame big shame…
So dangal will beat pk record iam so happy
So high occupancy ..ticket rate high ..! Double bonza..sunday + xmas still it collected 42 cr ..that means HNY first day collection is fake ..totally..!!
So highest single day
Dangal 42
Prdp 41
No Dhoom franchise, no Hirani,
and yet 106 crore in 3 days! Now any more doubt on Aamir’s crowdpulling ability?
@indicine:
HNY collected 45cr nett 2.3 years ago with 25% lower ticket price & 15% lesser screens compared to Dangal. Dangal was getting houseful shows in most of the cinemas on Sunday as per your tweets & articles (surely much better than hny opening day response). Therefore, Dangal should have collected over 60cr nett on Sunday. Isn’t it???
First movie to cross single day milestones :
5 cr – KRRISH
10 cr – Gajini
15 cr -Dabbang
20 cr -Bodyguard
25 cr – ETT
30 cr -ETT
35 cr -KRRISH 3?D3 acc to BOI?
40 cr – HNY …..?Dangal acc to BOI?
.
.
.
Only Salman and Aamir are Competing with each other….2 MEGASTARS OF BOLLYWOOD.
Whatever Dangal is collecting, it deserves them well. Dangal is a gem of movie. Right from the content to the starcasts, everything is inch-perfect.
biggest megastar of bollywood….. he is the one…. this movie will collect more than sultan possibly overcome pk too…. mark my word…. rip demonetisation….. rip all records….
Now waiting for another superhit Kaabil….
Bring it on…….kaabil buzz increasing like a fever …..roshans rocks….
Let’s be honest, being a Salman fan, I don’t want it to cross Sultan. But I can’t help it. Dangal is so good a movie that it derserves to do more or at least similar business to Sultan. Way to go for Dangal.
#Indicine
Now you have to explain …about Hny first day collection ..on that time in your artivle you mention that Hny ticket price is high..thats why it earned ..but now dangal ticket price is very high…as compare to hny still it didn’t beat 1st day ? Why .?
indicine plz say something about dangal overseas I think first weekend of dangal will be 8milion
@Tiger, leave the poor fans alone. They are struggling to cross 100 Crores. Everyone knows Lal Mirchi Calculator works even faster than Jaadoo Calculator.
Dangal doing 40 CR+ on third day is exceptional . HNY and PRDP collected 40 CR+ on the first day where maximum people watch movies but Dangal doing such kind of business is nothing but brilliant . Dangal is Aamir’s 5th 100 CR Grosser and 3rd consecutive after D3 and PK . The next 2 days will make everything clear regarding the lifetime collections of Dangal . I am going to watch Dangal with my mom and brother today and I hope I will love the film . Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tite slap to who said amir is nothing without Raju Hirani and Dhoom Brand.Dangal prove that amir is above Hirani and Dhoom Brand.If Dangal Cross 300cr then everybody have to agree that Amir is Biggest Superstar in this decade.If Dangal managed to Cross PK collection then we have to agreed that Amir is Biggest Superstar of all Time.Srk rulled 1995 to 2007 after that Salman and Amir was neck to neck for No-1 position where salman given blockbusters amir given All time blockbuster.Audience Trust Amir>Salman khan stardum..From Dieheart Srkian…
OMG sultan is in trouble !!!!
Anyways congrates to Aamir for making such a meaningfull film.
Salute from diehard Salman Khan fan
@ tiger,so u want to tell HNY 1st day collection are false.to some extent i can also accept that its opening day collection have been manipulated to at least 2-3 crores.as Sultan and dangal had higher screen count and higher occupancy in weekend but still it couldn’t collect 44-45 crores.so this is compelling me to accept
there is some manipulation in HNY opening day.
It is amazing to see these nos. In effect, according to trade, this is the highest single day collection ever.
Demonetisation is still a challenge as after the initial euphoria, those evils can effect the film a little more…
Hope there is enough cash pumped in to the system over the next few days…………DANGAL deserves to be the first film to cross 350 cr!!!
Aamir Khan name is enough
Oye hoye
Awesome man 42.35 crore it is #phenomenal
I watched Dangal yesterday i really enjoyed the movie i loved movie i appreciate the hard work of Aamir Khan and other supporting cast.
But still i want to say that SULTAN was better movie and better movie
42 Cr
(HIGHEST SINGLE DAY EVER as per Trade)
When Everyone was predicting 200-225 Cr on @indicine
I said Dont Underestimate The Power of ACE AAMIR.
And As I said Again History is Repeating Itself ,
Again Aamir’s Film is Exceeding all the Trade EXPECTATIONS.
Movie didnt have anything to pull crowd except AAMIR KHAN.
And if this is not a SUPERSTARDOM then Nothing is.
@TIGERTherealKing
yess you are right HNY’s first day hindi collection was 42.63 crore but everyone told the collection 44.97 including tamil and telegu collections
The difference between Dangal 3rd day and HNY 1st day collections is only 28 lacs
Absolutely mindblowing.Can’t express my happiness right now..the word of mouth and collections are insane.
Awesome…
Hats off to you guys for using such a brilliant language for your article ,which excites us so much
To haters!
Aamir aisa dhaakad hai, dhaakad hai…
Tanne charo khane chitt kar dega
Tere purje fit kar dega
Dat kar dega tere daanv se badh ke
Pench palat kar dega
Chitt kar dega, chitt kar dega
Aisa dhaakad hai.
Great now i am confertable…370cr paka….
Indicine wale to bht jealous ho rhe honge Aamir khan ka record dekh kr … :)
