Worldwide collections-Dangal leads over Baahubali2

Aamir Khan starrer “Dangal” has overtaken S.S. Rajamouli’s epic “Baahubali: The Conclusion” at the worldwide box-office. The wrestling drama is nearing a total collection of Rs 1900 crores, taking a lead over ‘Baahubali 2’ which has just crossed the Rs 1700 crore mark. ‘Dangal’ is based on the true story of national-level wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who fights the patriarchal society to train his daughters – Geeta and Babita to become world class wrestlers.

The Nitish Tiwari-directed biopic, which was released in China on May 5, earned Rs 1089 at the Chinese box-office by June 4. Renowned film critic-cum-trade analyst shared the details on his Twitter account. “#Dangal Gross Box Office Collection @ Worldwide Box Office (Till June 4th 2017): #China – Rs 1089 crore. #Taiwan – Rs 36.50 crore. Rest of the World – Rs 744.50 crore. Total – Rs 1870 crore,” he tweeted.
