According to Aamir, the reason it has become so huge is because the Chinese connected on an emotional level with the story, the characters and the moments.
“I have been reading their reactions on social media. They have been saying things like how the movie moved them and how the characters inspired them so much. It made them realise what their parents went through. Many of them called up their parents and cried. It’s a very emotional reaction. That is what has made the film really work,” said Khan.
Director Nitesh Tiwari’s film is the first ever Bollywood film to have made such a huge collection in China. A biopic on the life of former Indian wrestler Mahavir Phogat, Dangal resonated well with the Indian audience, generating 542.34 crores collection at the Indian Box Office. The film also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Sheikh, Sanya Malhotra and Zaira Wasim in lead roles.
