To believe, film trade analysts of the box office, Taran Adarsh and Komal Nahta, Aamir Khan starrer Dangal will soon enter Rs 100 crore club in no time. Mind you, this isn’t any other superstar movie of the year. Based on the story of a wrestler from Haryana, Dangal has released at a time when the people of India are suffering cash crunch during demonetization.

The film has opened at the theatres yesterday and slogged crazy revenue of Rs 30 crore on the first day itself, quite better than Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dear Zindagi and Ranveer Singh’s Befikre.

Adarsh and Nahata in Twitter also predicted that the film will create a history in Bollywood, the way it’s generating revenue. With more 50% online bookings being done in advance, Dangal is Aamir’s first film after his blockbuster PK (2014), which is still the highest grossing movie of all time.
