Aamir Khan’s Dangal has taken a better start on Saturday as compared to Friday, as the occupancy at almost all centres that we tracked was around 5 – 15% higher than Day 1.
The Day 2 collections will certainly cross the 30 crore mark, but growth in the morning suggests that the film could get into the 35 crore range – as business does tend to peak at multiplexes in the night.
Dangal has already made it to the Top 30 list of highest 2016 grossers in just one day and the film will beat big releases like ‘Mohenjo Daro’ and ‘Befikre’ just 2 days after its release. Fan and Shivaay will be surpassed in 3 days and Dangal should cross the 100 crore mark by the end of its first weekend.
Anything is possible as far as the lifetime total is concerned, the trend over the weekdays after the Christmas holiday on Sunday will give us a clearer picture on where the film is heading.
The only thing that stands between Aamir delivering yet another 300 crore plus grosser are the lack of holidays. If Christmas and New Year had fallen on any other day except Sunday, it would’ve proved to be hugely beneficial, but since the word-of-mouth is very positive, many more people are likely to visit theatres to watch Aamir’s first release in 2 years.
An Aamir Khan film always comes with huge expectation, his audience expect a classic out of him each time he comes on screen, but carrying the burden and living upto sky high expectations time and again is what makes Aamir the icon and brand that he is at the moment.
Update: Dangal is rocking at multiplexes today, houseful in the noon at many places. Advance booking is terrific for the evening and night shows.
Sunday should break into the 40 crore barrier..First half just got over..It’s an outstanding film..Hats off Aamir sir..Hats off
Raees will struggle to cross 20
Saw Dangal yesterday what an excellent movie..Surely biggest blockbuster of the year of 2016 after the sultan..
Salman is now biggest star than a film…
Nobody can come to close in terms of stardom..
I am become of Amir Khan super he is above all actor no doubt on his stardom . This big surprise that film first day collection is 30 crore this is extraordinary . Everybody understand that Aamir is so important for Bollywood his film is beyond Award . His punctuality ,dedication hardwork is excellent . Look aamir after two years 30 crore , but Jadoo boy after two years 8.75 crore ha ha .
Hrithik is only excellent in dance otherwise no talent , woh kya dialog bolta hai samjhme nahi aata .
It has to be considered that Aamir Khan is the only notable Bollywood face in the film. Rest are either TV or character actors and hence the film was relying entirely on Aamir Khan’s stardom and acting prowess. To still take a superb start in most parts of the country and enter the record books is a feat that makes Dangal all the more special. ‘Sone pe suhaaga’ is the fact that the word of mouth is quite good too from all quarters and that sets the stage for Dangal to grow further from this point on…
First day 29.75 crore
Second day 35.25 crore
Sunday 38 crore
Weekend total 103 crore
Weekdays 80 crore
First week 180 + crore
Second week 80 crore
Remaining week 30 crore
Life time collection of dangal
290+ crore .my pridiction.
my Prediction for the lifetime collection of dangal is around 305-315 Verdict All Time Blockbuster
and congratulations for all aamir fans he is my second favorite actor after akki sir
Beside aamir playing that role.,everything was awesome in the movie
This is tight slap to those who says aamir is nothing without hirani , dhoom brand and Xmas holiday. Look result is in front to you all haters. There is no hirani , no dhoom brand and no holiday advantage . But yes there is disadvantage of note bandi. Despite that mega star aamir shine. For me he is God of Bollywood.
Dangal will beat Mohenjo Daro just 2 days after its release, Fan and Shivaay will be surpassed in 3 days.
Laugh on
Stardom Of Hrithik, SRK and Ajay. LOL .
It’s not about collection, holiday bla bla. But because AK always tries his best to give away a good or even awesome quality content.
Movie is business afterall. But at least have some responsibility to your audiences who spend their money to your movies. Give them some positive impact from your movie. That’s what AK always do, that makes him totally at the different level with other actors. Neutral audiences trust his name that much. That’s the reason why other fandoms hate him so much.
And I know Indicine won’t post my comment ??
370cr final he bhai
30+34+38 = 102 weekend, week :- 174 cr LT: 285 cr

RIP Sultan
Few people are barking about Christmas holidays!!!!!!!
Black-bug Zinda Hai will come next christmas, we will see
@hey indicine:
HNY collected 45cr nett 2.3 years ago with 20% lower ticket price & 15% lesser screens compared to Dangal. Therefore, Dangal should collect over 60cr nett (yes you read it correctly) on Sunday with around 80% occupancy (equal to HNY opening day occupancy).
Its Jalwa of One & Only Amir khan …Indicine Talked about the Raju hirani & Dhoom brand Factor..Even without them He Is going to break All Box office records …!
This happens when the content clicks.This is something which happens when Aamir khan does a movie.Salman khan has somewhat improved his cinema over the last 2 yrs,I am still waiting when will SRK does this bcoz he just needs one good movie to get back on track and good solo release as far as things stand today only his movie with Anand L Rai has that chance till then both Aamir and salman will have 400 crore movie as well.
@indicine
Only 54 hrs to go for BOLLYWOOD GOD SALMAN KHAN’S Birthday
Can you please make an article on his mega stardom his illustrious career his humongous records?
It’s a request
Money money money… Amir and Salman should try to achieve this and then compete with SRK. Watch the link below to believe yourself!

if you like chak de india movie , then you have to watch dangal . because both flim has many similarities
according to stardom srk has highest weekend and highest opening day record in india and overseas too so he is an bigger crowd puller than other khans… so as usual his stardom his un matchable…. after weekend content matters where srk laks… hope raees and rahnuma have a good content
Every girl should go see this movie to understand how a motivational father can coach to great heights. Fathers also go see this movie to appreciate a father’s role in having daughters.
Best movie of 2016 by far.
I think ,2nd day collection 36+
@Sandy and @Virat kohli keep giving excuses and excuses. Dangal has so many factors against it such as demonitization, christmas holiday falling on sunday, not promoted, non cimmercial still heading towards 300 cr. Lallu couldnt even cross 160 cr on christmas. Forget about dreaming anythung for TZH. It will do 250 cr max because without strong word of mouth and eid lallu is yet to do even 220 cr. On christmas only Aamir rules. So TZH in best case will do 250 cr. No chance for TZH to come even close to dangal, pk and dhoom 3. AAMIR IS BIGGEST MEGASTAR. PERIOD..
