When Baahubali 2 decimated every possible box office record and emerged as the highest grosser of India in May this year, fans as well as trade analysts predicted that the records of that epic Telugu film will last for a long time. The release of Aamir Khan’s Dangal however shocked everyone as it snatched the highest grosser title from Baahubali 2 in just about a month.
The collections of Dangal from China alone were higher than the cumulative gross of the film from across the world including India. Since Baahubali 2 hasn’t yet been released in China, fans of the epic costume drama were hopeful of it grabbing back the title from Dangal. Well, going by how remarkably Dangal is performing now in Hong Kong, it seems Baahubali 2 will never be able to touch the Aamir khan starrer.
After creating euphoria at China box office, Dangal was released in Hong Kong last Friday, and it has already minted over HK$ 6 million (5 Cr gross approx.). The number of screens are now being added for Dangal as the film is registering record footfalls. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the film creates history in Hong Kong just like it did in China.
The film was recently released in Turkey, where it earned decent sum. Huge demand is there for the film’s release in Korea and Japan, which is expected to happen in a few months. With Dangal conquering every territory across the world and taking its worldwide gross well past 2 billion dollar, it looks impossible for Baahubali 2 to overpower that sports drama.
