Just when you start believing Aamir Khan has pushed all his limits and it’s virtually impossible to surpass his set thresholds, the actor/producer finds new skylines to accomplish. For a non glamourous sports based drama without an iota of trademark masala, Dangal is setting new benchmarks. The Aamir Khan starrer made to the 100 crore club later last night and became only the second quickest film of all time to achieve this feat after Dhoom 3.
Yes, Dangal has beaten Salman Khan’s Sultan in terms of its opening weekend collections. While the Salman Khan release had made 105.53 crores in its first three days despite the Eid help, the Aamir Khan release has made 106.95 crores to leave it behind. With the kind of positive word of mouth coming its way, the film is going to be unstoppable in the coming days and is expected to set new records. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film thumped its major dominance on Sunday and earned a colossal 42.35 crores to bring its tally up at 106.95 crores.
With these magical figures, Dangal has already made a lot of records and is already on its way to make more. Here are 10 records Aamir Khan’s Dangal has made after its opening weekend:
1 – Highest Ever Single Day Collections (42.35 crores) for an Aamir Khan Release.
2 – Highest Sunday Box Office Figures Ever Recorded In the History
3 – Second Highest Single Day Box Office Figures of All Time after Happy New Year (44.97 crores)
4 – First Aamir Khan Release to Record Figures Above 40 Crores In a Single Day
5 – Highest Ever Single Day Collections for a Sports Based Film
6 – Highest Opening Weekend Figures (first three days) of 2016 – 106.95 crores
7 – Second Highest Opening Weekend Figures of All Time after 2013’s Dhoom 3 (107.61 crores)
8 – Second Film after Dhoom 3 to Cross 100 Crores in Opening Weekend without a Festive Holiday
9 – Sixth Film To Enter 100 Crore Club in 3 Days or Less.
10 – Quickest To Earn 50 Crores In Overseas This Year
With no releases coming out to wrestle with Dangal at box office in coming weeks, the film is going to make the most of what it has. We can almost see all records being shattered!
