Will 'Shuai Jiao Baba' defeat 'Baahubali-2'?
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,May 13 2017]
Even as 'Baahubali-2' has pipped its collections in India, Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' has added another Rs. 200 Cr to its lifetime figure. In China, within the first week of its release, the blockbuster has become the first Indian film to achieve the feat in the country.
The movie, released in around 7,000 screens in China as 'Shuai Jiao Baba' ('Let's Wrestle, Dad'), had raked up 216 million yuan (over Rs 201 crore) by Friday evening.
The movie, which is about a gritty wrestler from small town training his daughters to become world-class wrestlers, has already broken the record of 'PK' which earned Rs. 100 crore in China.
China is still viewed to be a patriarchal society but the masses have connected with 'Dangal'. Aamir is among the most popular Indian actors for the Chinese who also are fans of South Koreans artistes.
Considering its lifetime performance, 'Shuai Jiao Baba' is giving our own 'Baahubali-2' a run for its money. It's also just Rs. 50 Cr away from becoming India's second Rs. 1000 Cr movie after the Rajamouli magnum opus.
