The Aamir Khan starrer, Dangal directed by Nitesh Tiwari released last week on Friday. The film that is based on the life of wrestler Manahvir Singh Phogat and also marks the Bollywood debut of Sanya Malhotra and Fatima Sana Sheikh has opened well at the box office. In fact Dangal that released across 4300 screens in India has managed to cross the Rs. 100 cr mark in just three days collecting Rs. 106.95 cr.
In this box office report we take a look at the worldwide collections of Dangal while comparing the same to previous releases. Interestingly Dangal that started off at the box office with a bang has already managed to gross Rs. 210 cr at the worldwide box office.
