Aamir Khan is of course no stranger to breaking such records as his ‘Ghajini’ was the first Bollywood film to cross Rs 100 cr and ‘3 Idiots’ was the first to cross Rs 200 cr whereas his PK was the one that created Rs 300 crore-club and was subsequently followed by Salman khan’s 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'Sultan'.

The film was released across 4,300 screens in India and about 1,000 screens overseas.

‘Dangal’ is the story of the struggle of wrestler and Olympic coach Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Gita and Babita Phogat who have internationally won gold as well as bronze for India in wrestling. Even before releasing, the movie was highly acclaimed by critics and celebrities alike and soon after its release it was highly appreciated by the Indian audience as well. People went ahead to call it the best film of the decade.
