Thugs Of Hindostan has done very poorly in China with the business being hardly better than another Aamir Khan starrer PK which was released in 2015 in China. The collections were $4.75 million apprx There was huge demand for the next Aamir Khan starrer after Dangal and Secret Superstar and that is why it fetched a price despite it being a film that would hardly relate with the Chinese audience.
