Dangal To Be Screened For Visually Impaired Audiences

The Nitesh Tiwari directorial, which released in December last year, will also have subtitles for the hearing impaired audiences when it will be aired on Zee Cinema SD.

Dangal, which also featured Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Zaira Wasim, is inspired by the real life story of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat who trained his daughters to become wrestling champions.

A 20-minute special screening of the film was held at the Institution for Blind here on Wednesday to give a sneak peek of the film.

Aamir Khan’s blockbuster Dangal received a super duper response from the Chinese audience. The film collected 1864 crores at the worldwide box office. A video posted by Aamir Khan’s fan club from China, the audiences are seen trying to pull off some wrestling moves. A few of them are even seen imitating Aamir Khan and his Dangal daughters Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra and recreating some of the best scenes from the film.

It was earlier reported that the Aamir Khan-starrer became the only non-Hollywood film to be listed among the top 16 highest-grossing films of all time at the China box office. Forbes magazine had also reported that the film has become the fifth highest-grossing non-English film in the history and the highest-grossing live actions sports film of 2017. However, the figures were fake, as clarified by the makers.
