This takes the
total collection of the film till now to Rs 64.60 crore! A thumbs up from
critics and positive word of mouth worked in favour of the film. Taran had
yesterday predicted that the film is set to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in the
first 3 days. Looking at the figures of day2, we don’t doubt that now.
The film is
being loved by audiences abroad too.

It took Aamir
Khan two years to bring his magnum opus to the big screen. And it looks like
the wait was worth it. Director Nitesh Tiwari’s Dangal is touted to be
Bollywood’s one of the most powerful films on hope and glory. While it was a
unanimous thumbs up for Aamir's acting prowess, there were those who said that
credit has to go to the real life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat, which brought
out the best in Aamir.
The four debutants, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Hasim and Suhani
Bhatnagar, too have got rave reviews. Given that Dangal has been applauded both
critics and moviegoers, it looks like Aamir Khan is on his way to a box-office
record. The fact that it's going to have a good three weeks before the next big
release (OK Jaanu, January 13) hits the screens, will definitely help as
well.
