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.

Indicine, you have no standard to judge Dangal.
We do not need your LBO.
still now you do not believe it will cross 300cr?
Shame on you.
BOI already given blockbuster verdict.
Aamir is now at another level!!
Nobody predicted 200cr club (3idiot) the very next year to 100cr (gajini).
Only Aamir did it..
History is going to repeat..
If weekend collections prove stardom then it clearly proves aamir is the biggest Bollywood star right now.he has beaten single handedly all the hurdles like demonetization, boycott campaign,not so commercial movie,no romantic angle,not well known supporting cast and most important a movie on the same theme released same year featuring a megastar still this much collection. Hats off aamir.
Thats the power of ultimate megastar Aamir Khan. It will beat gobar kumar’s craps by monday itself.
Red CHILLIES CALCULATOR exposed once again ! HNY first day is 36crs, Srk is a cheat .
Welldone Dangal, still prefer Sultan though
These are just insane figures..
Actors like srk,hrithik should learn from aamir how to select script.. congrats aamir khan and his fans but personally i will keep hating u..
Its the biggest single day collection EVER
WOW
@indicine again aamir exceeded all the expectations. everyone expected that dangal will do wonders in lifetime collection but it is hitting sixes in weekend that is possible with only huge stardom like sultan also did. indicine going very wrong in measuring amir stardom. he has mega stardom among neutral audiences. This year was very bad for bollywood in terms of bo but Sultan & Dangal balanced it.
Still cannot beat record of HNY 44.97 despite of sunday + christmas + hiked ticket prices… Even Hrithik, Ranveer, Ranbir and Varun can make 35-38 crores on such day.
Aamir khan ki movie mai aamir khan ki acting kahi bhi nahi dikhti..all time same level acting…unki movie mai woh shirf apni body aur hair style par experiment karte hai…kuch movie jo unki filhal mai jo blockbuster hue hai usme director ko credit dena chahyiye..jo unki movie ka content accha tha…so all the best aamir…but 3 khans mai se SRK he aisa actor hai jo actor hone ke sath sath superstar bhi hai….Srk is All time blockbuster Actor hai…
Top stars Salman and aamir.Some idiots are still thinking aamir has no fans,Best reply to them
360cr lifetime
@Tiger : You are wasting your time and energy. Even if you asked 100 times @Indicine wont answer this. Numbers and stats never lies and it is clear how RCE manipulated opening collections of HNY. Move on as they no longer deserve our time on this epic manipulation.
Sultan was more commercial and could relate to more people. Dangal is all about dignity and how a man did impossible thing and achieved his dream. Both are winners in their own way unlike faltering on face with dual roles in a tribute to biggest (myth) fan base. Dangal is class and Sultan was mass. Topic closed !!!!!!!!!!!
media keeps over hyping anything that this man does, he is a very average actor, not perfect at all.
In PaglaPOOR our youtube dwellers are in a state of shock as to how a Content based film can bring in such numbers considering Phanka struggled its way to 80cr
Without any promotions, any commercial elements this much humongous collections. Thats the power of Ultimate Megastar of bollywood..
I am damn sure that by today it will easily thrash joker boy’s airlick and chustom’s life time.
@Kiran nice try but as far as i remember even you used to be one of those who used to give credits to raju hirani and dhoom brand wasnt you? Why changing colors now?
Dangal is always been a biggest test for Aamir career so far due to various reasons.
His earlier flicks like Ghajini was masala movie with chartbuster music with first day Holiday.
3 Idiots music were also popular along with Raju Hirani as director
D3 was riding on franchise value other than Aamir Brand
PK also had Raju Hirani factor
Now looks what has been against with Dangal
1. Neither Masala film nor have established/known director.
2. The uniqueness of wrestling movie was taken away with Salman blockbuster Sultan’s
3. No popular heroine
4. No Chartbuster Music
5. Demonetisation
6. Lack of entertainment value from promos
7. Aamir image has came down drastically after Intolerance remarks
8. Movie has normal weekend as Christmas falls on sunday though there is still benefit of holiday but it reduced.
Positive Factor:
Aamir khan and his first film in two years.
Result-
Aamir Khan has beaten all the above mentioned hurdles and smashed all time first weekend record single handedly. Achieved highest single day ever on Sunday and highest weekend record.
From Ghajini to Dangal, one thing remain common along with Aamir khan as a hero that All these film had achieved highest single day collection on its first Sunday. No other actor has done this in recent time with every festive release and these are the records which accepted by trade not created by producer by own.
As Dangal title track said “Bhed ki hahakar k badle sher ki ek dahad h pyare Dangal Dangal”
And when lions roars, no one can challenge him. Aamir is boxoffice lion without any doubt.
Salute sir.
@2:55pm
It will also beat Joker Boys highest ever krapfest Rowdy Joker by end of today but then again we dont worry about the collections of these small stars n their jobless fans celebrating mediocrity…!
@ Rew1 & Mrs. Bollywood (Psycho Tingu Khan),
I really like to talk with you both Morons anytime…
Feeling proud on such collections? Collection which comes due to his single crap comes after 2 years… Because of 5000+ screens… Because of Christmas release… Because of no clash… Because of 2 free week runs… Hahahahahahahaha…
Waise ek baat clear ho gayi, Kisi wrestler ki story ko base bana kar aur girls ko base bana kar thhik earn kar liya… Warna, Without christmas, aur Khud Solo star release karta hai to 100 Crores bhi cross nahi hote Iss Tingu Psycho se? Talaash yaad hai na?
Aur recrods jaise words Tum jaise jerks ke muh se abhi bhi achchhe nahi lagte re…
100 Crores back to back in a year ka record hai Akki ka, Psycho 10 baar bhi janam le le to bhi nahi todd paayega, Hahahahahahaha…
@Unbearable bufoonary of gobar, keep going. Day by day your stupidity, illiterateness, and your psycho mind is making me laugh more and more. Keep foing clown. Your frustrations is very much exposed. Abe dhakkan, thodi sharam kar. Dangal had disadvantages like demonitization, no commercial theme still it will thrash your joker boy’s craps in just 4 days. That is boss who runs like how he wants. Tiny flopstar ke fans, keep crying. I am having fun.
@Navib exactly dude. But this was only for that clown called @Unbearable bandargiri of joker boy floppy who barks on megastars like salmir’s articles and cries all day long.
@Navin exactly dude. But this was only for that clown called @Unbearable bandargiri of joker boy floppy who barks on megastars like salmir’s articles and cries all day long.
These records of Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are the reason behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Heavy/Excessive Smoking 30 cigarettes in an Hour :D
Like: Who are in LMAO condition.
Dislike: Who are burnt as HELL :D
Biggest slap for those who called Aamir depends on Hirani and Dhoom brand. And now they are crying with Christmas excuse, fools do not know this year both days are falling on Sundays. Dwarf wont collect even 70% of Dangal if released solo in Christmas 2018.
There is no shame coming to second competing with best and caliber of someone called Aamir Khan. Even if it beats Sultan we Salman fans will be happy for it. Lets wait and watch.
