Its Official: Dangal Is Fifth Highest non-English Grosser Globally

Mumbai: Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal has become the fifth highest non-English grosser and the 30th highest grosser ever globally.

The film is heading for the Rs 2,000 crore mark at the global box office. The current global box office collection of Dangal, as per the latest figures, stands at a staggering Rs 1,941.34 crore, thus crossing the $300 million mark. The film has managed to replace James Bobin's fantasy adventure film from last year - "Alice Through The Looking Glass" - to become the 30th highest global grosser.

According to Forbes magazine, Dangal has also become the fifth highest grossing non-English film at the global box office. The four films that precede it are Makoto Shinkai's Japanese animated film from last year "Your Name", Raman Hui's 2015 Chinese fantasy adventure film "Monster Hunt", Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano's 2011 French buddy comedy "The Intouchables" and Stephen Chow's Chinese fantasy romantic comedy "The Mermaid" from last year.

Given the fact that its run at the Chinese box office has been extended for another month, Dangal is likely to dethrone "Your Name" to become the fourth non-English highest grosser.

Dangal also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Zaira Wasim, Sanya Malhotra and Aparshakti Khurana. It is co-produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Walt Disney Pictures and UTV Motion Pictures.
