Aamir Khan”s Christmas release ‘Dangal,’ which also stars Fatima Sana Sheikh, Sanya Malhotra and Sakshi Tanwar in lead roles, is roaring at the box-office and and has already crossed the 400-crore margin! While the sports drama has collected over Rs 270 crore at the domestic box-office, it has fetched a staggering Rs 141.60 crore in the overseas market, taking the worldwide collection to a monumental figure of over Rs 411 crore.
Dangal not only made people think about it as just a movie where there was a lot of hardwork done by the characters but it touched people’s heart from within.
Dangal,’ which tells the story of Indian wrestler and coach Mahavir Singh Phogat and how he trained his daughters Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari to become world-class wrestlers, has collected $ 8.91 mn from USA-Canada, $ 5.81 mn from UAE-GCC, $ 2.99 mn from UK and $ 2.01 mn from Australia.
What’s surprising here is that ‘Dangal’- a film with a Haryanvi setting – has struck a chord with the international audience, which is primarily a market for formulaic Bollywood films.
At the end Dangal just gave a simple message that ‘if you want, you can achieve anything in life’ which was appreciated around the world.
