Dangal wrestles highest grosser title with Rs 345-cr collections


Latest Busienss News - Dangal is now the highest grossing Bollywood film, as the Aamir Khan-starrer finished its third weekend in India at Rs 345.3 crore. 

It has beaten 2014's PK (also starring Aamir Khan), which held the record for the highest grosser at Rs 340 crore. The lifetime collection for Dangal is expected to be in the range of Rs 360-365 crore as it has potentially one more weekend to milk. 

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Disney India, the film tracks the journey of the Phogat sisters from their village in Harayana to the Indian wrestling team. Aamir Khan plays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, father to Geeta and Babita Phogat (played by Fatima Sana Sheikh and Sanya Malhotra, respectively). It was released on December 23 on 4,300 screens across the country and has been made tax-free in Delhi, Chhattisgarh and Haryana. 

Not only has Dangal become the highest collecting Bollywood film in India, it is also one of the more profitable films this year. Made at approximately Rs 90 crore, the film broke even in the first week even for the producer.(Read More)
