With a domestic collection of Rs 132.43, Dangal becomes the third highest grosser of 2016 after Sultan and MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. Sultan and MS Dhoni The Untold Story, which collected Rs 300.45 crores and Rs 133.04 crore respectively. In fact, Dangal should overtake MSD biopic’s lifetime earning with its Tuesday earnings. With no major Hindi releases next weekend, the film is likely to enter Rs 200-crore club soon enough. Add the overseas collections and the lifetime collection of Dangal can be around Rs 300-350 crore. And that leaves us wondering if Dangal can start new Rs 400-crores club for Hindi films?
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra along with Aamir. The film tells the real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat who trained his daughters to become world-class wrestlers.
