Bollywood superstar Aamir Khans sports drama "Dangal" has minted Rs 197.53 crore at the box office in its opening weekend -- surpassing what Salman Khan-starrer "Sultan", 2016's highest grosser, collected in its first week.
"Sultan", which reportedly registered a Rs 300-crore collection in India, had made Rs 180.36 crore.
"Dangal", which released on December 23, collected Rs 20.29 crore on Thursday and is now expected to cross the Rs 200-crore mark on Friday, read a statement issued on behalf of Disney India, which has backed the Nitesh Tiwari directorial.
The movie has tugged at the heartstrings of the audiences for its powerful portrayal of the tale of Mahavir Singh Phogat, a former national champion who, much to the disapproval of his wife and his whole village, trained his daughters Geeta and Babita to wrestle.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh said that "Dangal" has stood out as a "winner".
"'Dangal' emerges a winner. Collects a whopping Rs 197.53 crore nett in week one. Expected to sprint towards Rs 250 crore by weekend two," Adarsh posted on Twitter on Friday.
"'Dangal' reign to remain unopposed, unchallenged for another week. Question is, when will it hit Rs 300 crore mark? Will it challenge 'Sultan'?" Adarsh added.
Dangal Is Historic On Day Eight

Dangal had a historic eighth day as it smashed all box office records for day eight. The film has grossed 17 crore nett apprx as per early estimates on day eight and that is by far the highest ever collection for day eight. The previous best was was 14.50 crore nett of PK which was recorded two years back. It would have beaten by almost 20% if the collections come out to be 17 crore nett in the morning. Total collections of the film will be close to 210 crore nett after eight days which makes it the sixth highest nett grosser ever. the film is really taking the benefit of the holiday period and no competition and raking in huge numbers with the weekend only to improve further.
The tax free exemptions have now really kicked in and Haryana and UP are recording huge nett collections though the gross collections in UP are similar to PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (this film was also tax free in UP on day eight though not at all centres). Haryana is simply outstanding and because of this East Punjab continues to smash records by distances. The eighth day collections were crucial for a very big total and now it will be about that big growth which will consolidate day eight. Sometimes when a film is at very high levels on day eight the second Saturday growth is not like a film which did 7 or 8 crore nett on day eight. It remains to be seen where Dangal goes and if the big growth comes the final business could go anywhere.
Dangal set an all time record becoming highest weekday grosser of all time and that too with no big holidays on the weekdays. It just edged past the weekday figure of PK but PK had a huge holiday for Christmas falling on day six whereas Dangal had normal days through the Mon - Thu period. If we take out the phenomenal first week business in a few circuits then the biggest achievements of Dangal over the first week are the Sunday business which was an ALL TIME RECORD collection for a single day and also this weekday performance.
The weekdays are actually better than the weekend performance as the weekdays have picked up a huge 85% of the weekend without a holiday and at with collections at high levels. The footfalls of the film on Monday were better than day one and Tuesday were similar to day one. Below are the all time top collections for the Mon - Thu period.
1. Dangal - 88,00,00,000 apprx
2. PK - 87,44,00,000 (One Holiday)
3. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 82,10,00,000 (One Holiday)
4. Dhoom 3 - 75,87,00,000 (One Holiday)
5. Kick - 75,18,00,000 (Two Holidays)
6. Krrish 3 - 71,75,00,000 (Two Holidays)
7. Chennai Express - 53,42,00,000 (One Holiday)
8. Sultan - 48,79,00,000
9. Happy New Year - 40,44,00,000
10. Bajirao Mastani - 39,02,00,000
The Christmas releases last year grossed 71.11 crore nett between over the Mon - Thu period and this year Dangal alone has surpassed by around 23%
