By earning a whopping ₹304.38 crore within 13 days of it’s release, Aamir Khan’s film Dangal has certainly created a real dangal at the Indian box office.
Dangal has not only beaten Salman Khan-starrer Sultan but has also breezed past the record of his own film PK, that took 17 days to reach the same number.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to twitter to confirm about the new benchmark set by ‘Mr Passionate’.
#PK crossed ₹ 300 cr on Day 17… #Dangal crosses ₹ 300 cr on Day 13… Indeed, Aamir is setting NEW BENCHMARKS… India biz.
