300 crore, Sultan and PK the 3 big targets for Aamir Khan’s Dangal

2 years after the blockbuster success of ‘PK’, Aamir Khan returns with yet another Christmas movie release titled ‘Dangal’. While the 300 crore mark is still a massive box-office mountain to climb, the track record of Aamir during the biggest weekend of the year is so immense, that the first target for the film will be to beat ‘Dhoom 3’ and cross the 300 crore mark.

In the last 8 years, four Aamir Khan films have released during the Christmas weekend and every single film has shattered box office records:

Ghajini, 3 Idiots and Dhoom 3 recorded the Highest Opening Day, Highest Single Day, Highest Opening Weekend, Highest Grosser of the Year and Highest Grosser of All Time. PK missed out on the opening day records, but went on to smash all-time records by a huge margin.

Only three films and two superstars have managed to cross the 300 crore mark. The films are PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan. The actors, who also happen to be two of the biggest stars in the industry today, are Salman and Aamir.

Salman has crossed the 300 crore mark twice, even though Aamir was the first to ‘open the club’. In fact, Aamir is known as the founder of every box office landmark in the industry, whether it is 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300!

Can Dangal cross 350? Can the film go on to be the highest grosser of all time? How much will the impact of demonetisation be, especially at smaller centres? Almost all ‘highest grossers’ have been commercial films providing wholesome entertainment, will ‘Dangal’ entertain the audience like some of Aamir’s other Christmas films have? Will Aamir beat Salman’s Sultan and top the year once again?

And finally, will the man whose films carry expectations of a classic each time he releases a film - yet again live upto the immensely high expectations?

Those are going to be the big questions as Dangal releases in theatres in less than 48 hours from now!

  • 300 Cr. is not a Cakewalk for Any movie & that too After Demonetisation &
    Film is entirely dependent on AAMIRs Stardom but Yes
    Aamir is AAMIR ,
    No One Expected But Ghajini collected 114 Cr. first film to break the 100 Cr. Mark.
    3 Idiot again exceeded all the Expectations crossed Ghajini within 2 Weeks & created 200 Cr. CLUB.
    DHOOM 3-Suspense Leaked on Social Media & Despite All the Negative Reviews Movie Smashed all First Day,1st Weekend,1st Week & Lifetime Records.
    And then pk-When No Actor has Crossed 225 Cr Aamir Created 300 Cr.Club again exceeding all the Expectations.
    So Lets See DANGAL will Create Any Club Or Not
    Finger Crossed.

    @Challa-Thanx Bhai
    @The Phenom-
    Lol!!!
    Aamir Khan & His Films are Beyond the Box Office for me but Now
    I really want DANGAL to cross 300 Cr. Mark.

  • No Comparison Amir Will Be Amir….Record Creator Record Breaker…”Dangal” Will Dafinately Shattered All Record….Whenever Other Actors(Sallu,SRK) Come Close To His Record….Amir Quickly Create A New Record(Milestone)….Just Example “ETT” 199Cr,3Cr Less Than “3 Idiots”…Thn Lucky Guy SRK Managed To Shattered That Record With “CE”…Thn Again Amir Quickly Create A New Milestone With “D3″…When Salman Again Come Close To His Record With “Kick” Again Amir Do That With “PK”,Now Again Same Salman Already Closed With “Sultan N BB”….Now “Dangal” Time

  • There Will Be impact of demonati…People will not go 2 Watch it In Repeat Mode Due to currency Prolem..that can Affect Its lifetime Business .

  • If this movie crossed more then 200 club with mixed word of mouth then according to me he is the greatest superstar and crowd puller.1st movie without franchise and hirani team.lets see what kind of charisma he can bring.

  • salman khan is one man army he don’t need anyone’s back.

    pk to do 340cr he when naked had Anushka Sharma, Boman Irani, Sanjay Dutt, Rajkumar Hirani and Christmas release.
    sultan only Eid release and other movie came after one week.

    so think 260cr for Dangal…

  • What the f Aamir teach us in taare zameen par and 3 idiots what child want let them do don’t make any pressure don’t forced them and now in dangal he just want only gold what his children wants he ignored it good actor aamir you are giving msgs only for box office some idiots think you make movie for giving messages but you only make movie with hard work to make your movie blockbuster if you give only 50% to your movies you will get trashed on box office always behind salman Shahrukh

    And one thing aamir fans who think aamir is no 1 because he gave athg many times let me tell you a stardom only make movie blockbuster give record breaking opening only dhoom 3 collect more than 30 cr on opening day because of dhoom brand only a very good script can give athg. I really respect Aamir for his script choosing he is also a great actor but his fans forgot his real value

  • LOL Sallu fans sound like they are $ hit scared of Dangal. I understand your problem, you paranoid people get disappointed every time Aamir movies set new benchmarks. It is just not the box office numbers, the quality of this film Dangal will erase any memory of Sultan from movie history. Even if it is 200 crore or 400 crore the damage will be done to mediocre shallow pretentious films like Sultan.

  • This looks more on class than commercial or Entertainment. Dhoom 3 will be definitely beaten but not sure about 300, Sultam, BB or PK !!!!!!!!!!!!

    All the best to all Aamrians !!!!!!!!

  • All salman’s gawaar fans will cry once dangal release.

    @Sandy dont worry, i will see you within next few days. I hope you are alive..

    @Srk’s jabra pankha, ha ha ha. Speaks some one whose star is yet to cross 140 cr and does out and out crap movies with none acting and definitely he is the worst over actor. None actor’s rice wont even cross 90 cr life time. It will even struggle to cross pankha.

  • @10:36am The Phenomenal Idiot

    Dont worry son I already on your behalf christened you as The Phenomenal Idiot yrs ago so you neednt bother yourself with that small detail…!

  • @indicine

    Why have you never ever once said Dangal is ‘CONTENT RICH’ but for Phanka you heralded it as the greatest ‘CONTENT(less) RICH’ movie of all time even though we all knew it was nothing more than just our dadaji chasing his own creepy shadow for 3 long boring hrs…?

  • Dangal is being ignored as a ‘CONTENT RICH’ movie by the media bcoz deep down they do not want its BO performance/ numbers to be compared with this yrs earlier ‘Content(less) Rich’ movie Billu Returns…!

    Shameful media

  • Here we are talking about 300cr n potential 400cr clubs etc etc but yet our Galaxy Super Star Pluto Boy is being kept away from the 100cr club…!

    The secret superstar Aamir Khan will walk through the 100cr mark without any difficulty…!

  • @11:34am Tiger

    ROFL

    Precisely… not just us but even his own parents n his lover Chullu have been calling him that for months…!

  • @The Unbearable Greed of Gobar Kumar

    Well christmas was there 4 Joker Boy to fully exploit in 2010 n he delivered an All Time Block Buster right or was it an All Time MAHA CRAPFEST…?

    Not every star can utilise that adv like Aamir does you knucklehead…!

  • 5th ATBB on Xmas coming up while other so called bigger stars with even bigger fanbases struggle to deliver clean hit films…!

    Hhhmmm guess Santa really does favour Aamir n Aamir only…!

  • @5:41pm fizzzzzZzz

    Its bcoz of films like TZP n 3 idiots that we now respect retads like you bcoz we now know that your retardism is not just your fault but as a combination of many other factors like poor upbringing or inadequate schooling etc etc

    Be grateful to Aamir for highlighting that retards like yourself need equal status like everyone else…!

    Peace

  • Read some critics’ reviews. Can’t wait for Saturday, my tickets are booked for 7 pm show.

    Gross be damned, there will be some effects of demonetization. I want to experience a great film and be blown over. Trust only Aamir ‘ISI Mark’ Khan for such experience.
