"dangal" screen count: - "Dangal's" screen count was said to be the biggest release in lead actor aamir khan's career. It is known that the film was going to be released in 4000+ screens in India and on 1000+ screens overseas. Earlier his "PK" film had close to 3800 screens but "Dangal" was said to have more screens than Aamir Khan's "PK" movie. The biggest release is definitely going to help the film more at the box office.
This year, Salman Khan's "Sultan" is the biggest release in Bollywood with 4350 screens in India and 1100 screens overseas.
Even though official screen count of "Dangal" is yet to be known from the makers, it is going to have a big release almost equal to "Sultan" in the screen counts.
Can 'Dangal' beat 'Sultan' first day collections at the box office?
Salman Khan's "Sultan" which released on July 6th, 2016 collected 36.4 crores worth of nett collections at the Indian Box office and $3.05 million at the overseas box office. So can Aamir Khan's "Dangal" beat "Sultan" in first day collections at the box office?
There are chances for "Dangal" to surpass "Sultan" on day 1 collections but the demonetisation effect plays a key role in "Dangal's" first day collections. Post the demonetisation in the India, every film saw a dip in their film's collections - close to 10-20%.
So if "Dangal" can overcome the demonetisation effect then there is no doubt about the film beating Salman Khan's "Sultan" opening day collections.
Can 'Dangal' beat 'Kabali' first day collections at the box office?
Rajinikanth's "Kabali" which released on July 22nd, 2016 remained as the highest grossing Indian film on day 1 at the box office.
The film collected close to 110crores gross which is bigger than Salman Khan's "Sultan" day 1 collections. So can "Dangal" beat "Kabali" first day collections at the box office?
The chances are very low because "Dangal" collecting more than 110crores in this demonetisation situation may not be possible. But if it can then it will be a miracle feat by Aamir Khan's film.
Finally, the movie directed by Nitesh Tiwari and music composed by Pritam is gearing up for release on Dec. 23rd, 2016. The expectations are huge among the audience, so let's wait and see how the film performs at the box office in a few more days.
