Fastest to 300 crore mark: Dangal to beat PK

Aamir Khan’s Dangal is likely to beat the superstar’s last film ‘PK’ which is currently the fastest film to cross the 300 crore mark. In 2014, PK became the first film to cross the 300 crore milestone, it also managed to do so in just 17 days – a record which still stands today.

The next film to 300 crore was Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a Kabir Khan – Salman Khan film that crossed the milestone 20 days after its theatrical release.

Salman’s last film Sultan was the fastest to touch 200 crore, but took more than a month – 35 days to be specific – to cross 300.

Given the strong trend of Dangal, the film should be Aamir Khan’s 2nd film in the 300 crore club in just 13 days.

  • @Indicine… There’s more happening in Film industry than just reporting Dangal’s collections… I watched it on the first day and loved it, but kindly move on to other things – like ‘Rangoon’ poster launch which you have missed, Salman’s next movie after TZH – where he plays father to a budding teenage dancer, Where are these news ??????????????????

  • Just unimaginable…. 100crore plus in week 2!Many films would have been happy had they collected in week 1….. sky is the limit ….it could collect anything

  • Going by this pace Aamir will open up 500 crs club (domestic) 2 to 3 years (subject to number of his movies releasing).

  • ya right. aamir with 134 hits in his life is ahead of salman with 30 hiuts and srk with 25 hits. some math.

  • This is what my dear friend @sss had to say about Aamir sometime back

    well 2-3 films changed the fate of midgettards and they completely forgot the actual star power of half/quarter actor —-chotu before 2008!!!!!till now chotu fans remainend silent,as one article came they again started jumping like newly born monkey babies and screaming like hell as in such a way ,someone is asking their stars to do gender test to prove his star is an impotent or not lol.

    if I further start back from 90’s,simply you’ll start to do pee in your pants,lol.stardom!!!!!what kind of stardom you’re showing you midgettard????? 90’s-2008,tingu’s inert disaster decades you want to show us .this what you said about so called STARDOM?????

    those degraded wannabe quality(not a single real life situation CLASSIC movies except lagaan from 90’s),some if them are aliens tried to change RELEGIONS strategy,some of them are a spirit in climax helped our chotu handicap inspector to find the criminal,and some of them are a vulgar student can be a topper overnight with out studying a bit.which quality movies are talking about Prate!!!!!and what so called morals your chotu is providing to the society be it’s showinh gropup of terrorists thunking themselves as Freedom Fighters by killing a corrupted minister/standing in nude pose over rail tracks / tending others to do vulgar speech in a reputed engineering university?what he has achieved for his wannabe quality acting?????simply ghanta,kela for films like d3 and some 1-2 negligible FILMFARE award for the best script with no competition,lol.even His real class movies Tzp also starred by Darshil,dch starred by others as chotu supported in each of his films except lagaan.loom at KING KHAN achieved 15 FILMFARES for HIS LIFETINE REMEMBERED PERFORMANCES ahead of LEGENDS—-DILLIPJI,BIGB.HE is the One who 1st took the risk of act in VILLANEOUS ROLE 90’S,that your chotu couldn’t able to do till now,lol.even chotu’s lifetime best performance pk beated badly by SHAHID’S HAIDER performances,what a poor performance by poor perfaketionist,lol!!!!!all that he know only ti do like a real hakla—-hmm!,oh teri!,aaila! like a grunting pig and the he is loikinh also same like now a days,lol.so this is what the so called TALENT of your perfaketionist you want show us?????

    No need to astonish.Chinese monkeys liked our Indian monkey(pk).so what can we say about monkey’s choice?,lol.though only can say about that’s star(amir) whose fan following is even lesser than emraan/hashmi/rajpal yadav who gave these success is nothing with out hirani/dhoom brand/south remake.still his shameless infinitesimal fans couldn’t give any answer where was their perfaketionist’s so called worldwide power from 90’s-2009?and the answer from their side—-404,error found!!!!,lol.what about those 11 hits which given by OUR STAR in a ROW with in 10 YEARS,lol.so chotu fans,3-4 films couldn’t change your midget star’s career,lol.also why you’re so happy KING SRK is still there to release HIS FILMS,HE till now didn’t retired nor will so soon.WE’RE there to give you what you’re claiming now,so still wait..

  • Congrats to Aamir for again raising the bar when it comes to storytelling and box office.
    Proud to be living in your era.

  • In all seriousness it could have got there quicker for eg after 10 days had Xmas been on Friday or had Xmas been on a monday then 11 days…!

    Xmas on Fri could have meant 45cr plus being achieved n the sunday figure could have touched 50cr….!

  • These type of records are only meant to be broken by Aamir himself…!

    He had opening day records twice in 2008 n 2009 respectively but these days hes after near perfect almost unbreakable records like ‘Highest 2nd week total’ n ‘Highest Grosser of All Time’ etc etc

  • Whilst Aamir is racing towards 300cr another so called Galaxy Superstar was still not able to reach 100cr last yr despite having CONTENT(less) RICH movies at his disposal…!

  • All this record will be broken by KING KHAN IN CHRISTMAS 2018 not even by Aamir Khan’s thugs of Hindostan.

    Aand lallu will retire soon.bevause making/breaking revird is now not comes under his capability any more.ss talentless non actor should retire soon,rofl.

  • Sultan 300cr In 35 Days

    Dangal 300cr In 12 Days

    Lul Where Is Salman’s stardom .

    He Is No way near To Aamir

    Aamir Is Real king

  • aamir is making records and salman is following him…where is that so called biggest superstar in the world….

  • @sss : Just like Charlie came with 300 crs storm during Diwali 2014 ? And he is still crawling to cross 227 crs forget 300 cr and 400 crs. That can happen only on Pluto not in his career !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Challa_original : Tumne toh @sss ki keh ke ley li. Lol

    Having said that I request you not to do this because you both are fans of SRK, I know he wont understand but no matter what you both should support each other rather fighting with each other and giving opportunity to others to laugh on it.

  • Aamir & Salman rocking bollywood big time. unmatchable stardom. they know their strength. now record will be broken by tubelight & toh. till then all aamir haters dangal ho gya. so enjoy it.

  • @sss these records are safe until Thugs Of Hindustaan, BTW That film faces a clash with Avatar2 in Christmas 2018 probably………………………..

  • Dangal is a superb movie based on sports and women empowerment unlike Sultan which was a crap and totally masala movie.

  • People actually don’t understand how phenomenal the success of dangal is!

    Aamir did not go to TV shows, interviews and paid awards. No carpet bomb marketing was done. There is cash crunch due to Demonetization.
    Unknown Director, actors, real treatment to story, no melodrama and over the top acting like Sultan, No one man show in film, Absence of top actress, Director etc. So many factors….

    SRK and Salman go all over media to promote their films. For Raees, SRK is doing two episodes of BIG BOSS with Salman. SRK needs Salman to promote his films. SRK and SK work with only big directors, big actresses, abroad locations, blockbuster music.

  • @Hrithik
    I will always support Srk and watch all his movies in theatre but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the right to bash idiots like @sss.His comments are toxic to humanity.
    I don’t know whether he himself understands what he’s trying to say.

  • Mr. SSS
    Aamir’s worst phase was in 90s. But even then he had 2 HGOTYs, your SRK is struggling to give it today. U have not seen Aamir movies like Rangeela, AHAT, Sarfarosh etc. In 90s Aamir was experimenting with movies/genre ahead of their time. All these movies were classics. From 2002-2004 he had no single release. He dared to do a movie like Dil Chahta Hai, appealing to 3 cities youths only and its a classic today. He didnt do Darr because he was unhappy with casting, Divya Bharati-Juhi Chawla issues etc.
    But your srk didnt have guts to play RDB, Lagaan, 3 idiots.
    And wow Hirani?? Dhoom?? FYI Dangal was neither Hirani nor dhoom still set to enter 400 cr

    What is your SRK without Deepika/YRF/Dharma? Any reply?
    Now listen carefully you jerk
    Founder of 100 cr, 150 cr, 200cr, 250 cr, 300 cr, 350 cr, probab 400 cr=Emperor Aamir

    And Dhoom 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Farah Khans shit 2014
    Aamir was already a superstar when SRK was doing FAUJI serial

  • @ Navin, That’s not the #Sad thing.

    The Sad thing is that after giving such a performance in Dangal….he will not be receiving those fake awards………neither will Salman……….so the other truly deserving candidate is Big B, but finally you know “who” will win!!!

    Thats #SAD.

  • @ Vishal,

    Salman works with big directors? What was Kabir Khan before ETT?

    What was the guy who directed Sultan….??? i don’t even remember his name.

    Who was Prabhu Deva in field of Direction in Bollywood before Wanted?

    Who was Abhinav Kashyap before Dabangg….and after Dabangg?

    Aamir truly deserve every bit of success, but don’t compare Salman to Srk.

    Salman doesn’t even does 10% promotions compared to Srk…….

    Yes, Aamir doesn’t promote, but you forgot he “smartly” markets his movie……he uses “strategy” to market.

    A Srk would have done world tour with Dangal, but Aamir knew that the movie belongs to India and Indian people on the ground level. Hence his strategy was to play low key and only concentrate on marketing it at ground level and no over the top media marketing.

    Currently we Indians are proud, even if it is not huge, but the achievements of our sporting talents in Olympics etc., and hence we are currently drawn towards such movies……success of Sultan and Dangal are proofs for the same. Aamir knows this better.

    No one understands the pulse better than Aamir when it comes to audience taste. Hence, Aamir deserves whatever success has come to him. But, please don’t compare Salman. He is only involved in shooting and only goes to promote wherever the makers send him, and strictly on his terms.

    Aamir is naturally smart, while Salman is naturally likeable among the masses……both using their innate talents or god gifts to their best.

    My two cents.
