Aamir Khan’s Dangal has become the first top-grossing non-Hollywood film in China by earning USD 117 million at the box office. Maoyan, a popular ticketing website in China, today reported that “Dangal”, which released in the country on May 5, has grossed 800 million yuan. Latest data from EntGroup, a leading entertainment consultancy group said the tickets sales have crossed 806 million yuan ($ 117 million). With this “Dangal”, based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, became the highest performing non-Hollywood foreign film in the country. The film broke the record of ‘Your Name’, a Japanese fantasy drama, which netted 577 million yuan ($ 84 million) at the box office last year. Dangal created a new record by earning $ 15 million on Saturday alone, Prasad Shetty, partner of Strategic Alliance, a Chinese firm promoting Indian films in China for the past few years, told. The film continues to run in about 7000 screens in China and has become as popular as Raj Kapoor’s Awara in 1950. (IANS)
