Dangal box office collection day 10: Aamir Khan film collected Rs 31.27 cr on Sunday.
Dangal’s revelry doesn’t seem to die anytime soon. The film has collected Rs 270.47 crore in ten days. Aamir Khan’s wrestling drama collected Rs 31.27 cr on Sunday ( January 1). The film has crossed Rs 250-crore mark in ten days.
The story of a desperate father who wants to make his daughters wrestling champions has touched the nerve of people hungry for seeing a heroic tale on screen. There are elements that make the film a cut above the rest. There are patriarchal attitudes and prejudices surrounding women in a society that form the core of the story. The display of varied emotions by the film’s cast is remarkable. Actors including Aparshakti Khurana and Girish Kulkarni who have small but important parts lend the film a ‘complete’ feeling.
Dangal has also jolted the film industry out of its post-demonetisation phase. It is due to this combination – winning the hearts of people and doing immensely well at the box office, that has taken Dangal into a different category of films.
It happens very rarely that a Bollywood film receives positive word of mouth as well as the high inflow of cash at ticket windows. But then again it was expected with Dangal as it has a powerful, central performance by main lead Aamir Khan. The film remains unstoppable at the box office. With no major Hindi film release this weekend and ensuing long holiday week, Dangal will easily sustain its box office momentum.
