Dangal has just completed two outstanding days, collecting Rs 64.60 crore at the domestic box office. The film has already become the 13th highest grosser of the year, ahead of films like Mohenjo Daro and Befikre.
At multiplexes, the business of Dangal peaked on Saturday night with most shows running at 100% occupancy. The film is now performing even at centres where it did not take a strong initial on Friday.
Sunday is set to be the best day for Dangal and could possibly be one of the biggest days of all time. The extra advantage of Christmas has been negated due to the big holiday falling on the weekly Sunday holiday. But the word-of-mouth of Dangal is terrific, which should ensure a excellent weekend trend and a total of 100 crore plus in just 3 days.
Only five films have so far crossed the 100 crore mark in 3 days (Dhoom 3, Happy New Year, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Sultan). Dangal will be the 6th.
The morning shows on Sunday were running at higher occupancy compared to both Friday and Saturday. At metro cities, some early morning shows were running at 80% plus occupancy, which should only increase further as the day progresses. Theatre sample figures suggest the film is looking at a 37-38 crore total on Sunday.
Dangal is well on course to be a pan-India success for Aamir Khan. The actor has always surpassed trade expectations during the Christmas weekend and 2016 is unlikely to be different.
Dangal Box Office Collections
- Friday – 29.78 crore
- Saturday – 34.82 crore (17% growth)
- Total – 64.60 crore
I really want Dangal to beat Sultan and I think it will….It’ll be great if it also beats PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan bcuz it’s a better movie but chances are very less.
@indicine:
HNY collected 45cr nett 2.3 years ago with 25% lower ticket price & 15% lesser screens compared to Dangal. Dangal is getting houseful shows in most of the multiplexes (much better than hny opening day). Therefore Dangal should collect over 60cr nett on Sunday. What do you say???
one of the best movie of indian cinema..
every movie lover ko yea cinema dekhni chahiye chahe woh kisi ki fans ho…kyu ki badi der baad aisi cinema aayi hai..

One of the best movie. Must watch
Still it will not beat sultan.
40cr sunday
I dont understand why ppl are sayin Non holiday??? There are winter holidays all over………
With Christmas and Sunday, dangal will still be below 40 crores, can never reach highest day collection set by HNY 44.97 crores… that’s the power of SRK, Salman and aamir relies on Eid and Christmas/New year holidays. If these 2 can give blockbuster on normal weekends than we will consider them as top stars or else will just be holiday stars
today it will earn 39 Crore.
I have been Aamir fan since 20 yrs now.
I am neither an expert critic nor a box office analyst. But every time I watch an Aamir movie it gives me an immense joy..
I cry everytime he cries in screen, I laugh everytime he laughs..
Industry has seen bigger superstar than Aamir. It has also seen better actors than him, but it has never seen anyone who is able to deliver consistent quality at such a large scale..
Someone who is there in product management will understand ‘how tough it is make a product that is liked by every section..
Coming back to Dangal, Aamir’s filmography is such amazing that it’s impossible to tell exactly where Dangal stands..
For me Dangal is right up there with the very best he has ever done..
Dangal is not just a movie but an experience..
It does not matter who is favourite star, do yourself a favour go and watch Dangal..
U can either choose to make a glorious film like #Dangal abt women empowerment or U can choose to glorify a criminal in #Raees . Ur choice
Just watched the movie. Strictly average movie. I m not a fan of either Aamir or Salman. But just for comparison. Sultan ka mukabla sirf ek hi Aadmi ker sakta h aur wo h khud SULTAN. Paid media n Critics for both movies. Cheers
Aamir will be in no.1 rank again in top actor list happy
After looking at Sultan PRDP, & now dangal I could not understand how @indicine is defending HNY opening collection…. On Sunday dangal is running with full capacity with multiplex on d higher end (with more ticket price)…. @indicine should come up with an article how hny opening is that huge…. Seriously
Ohhhh?!So some Salman fans r trolling Akki on Twitter!!!Abusing his wife with some cuss words!I won’t say anything bcz i have promised @Salman Fan here on indicine & i won’t break anyone’s trust and my words?!Carry On?!
I promise that even now i won’t bash Salman.Congratulations bhaitards???.
#luv?
@indicine,kindly post this comment. Thank u.
aamir khan is vulnerable and desperate about intial for his films unlike salman, sharukh got thunderous openings organically .from pk to dangal he kept on screenings from months to celebrities and hav got lauding and praising kept the buzz about the film. if the film is good it will do well no need to screen for others and panic before release
Dangal doing 100cr weekend so does sultan. both have one national holiday. now one question aamir is lacking stardom. they both are huge megastar currently. salman has little edge in suburbs or smaller centers due to dabbang,sultan image. while multiplexes aud. trust amir blindly. So bollywood wait for tubelight,TZH,thug of hindostan for aache din.
sunday mau be 40+ for sure…..ib dangal hoveha????
100 cr weekend 3 Khans
Extended 100 cr weekend Ajay HR
Sad not to see Akshay among the leagues of the biggies. Never considered him ahead of Hrithik and Ajay,just luck,multucasts and Neeraj Patriotic invention brough him poor guy.
Observation. No single Srk fan came up with HNY and CE 1st day manipulation. If it was a Ajay Hrithik you would have seen some weird comments. Indicine salute Shivaay crossed 100 cr a week ago but no guts to put producer fig for Ce Hny? Mind you SR 1st day is quite higher than CE 1st day on Boi you said you will follow. What hypothesis is this?
dangal might eclipse sultan’s record as it seems …..indicine why there has been no article on arjun rampal’s “Daddy” …it’s promos looks interesting
Till when will aamir and sallu will be getting open releases without any competitions ?..hiked ticket rates also is a disgusting factor ! Noone to give them competition like bhansali or a good clash like when Indian washed away asoka !an entertaining masala movie “bhai”faced dil to pagal hai bravely..Ram jaane kicked akele hum akele tum..son of sardar going neck to neck with jthj..kaho na pyar hai threatening both amir and srk in mela and pbdhh ,respectively ! and many more such clashes…and mind it..no multiplexes were there a decade earlier !
@ indicine
Do you think shame to update Sunday collection of Dangal?
Broke all the record
40+
