Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the news. He tweeted, “#PK crossed ₹ 300 cr on Day 17... #Dangal crosses ₹ 300 cr on Day 13... Indeed, Aamir is setting NEW BENCHMARKS... India biz.”
‘Dangal’ has become fourth film to enter the 300 cr club after ‘Sultan’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘PK’.
Apart from surpassing the first day collection of ‘Sultan’, Aamir’s film has done every possible wonders at the box office. The film fetched Rs 100 crore in just three days of its release, and also shined at the international box office. Though, ‘Sultan’ and ‘Dangal’ were being compared because of the common subject wresting, but it was soon cleared that both the movies were different.
