The statistic is a testament not just to the actor’s business sense, but also his ability to raise the bar with his choice of films. Of the top five Bollywood grossers ever – the others being Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015, Rs 320.34 crore), Sultan (2016, Rs 300.45 crore and Dhoom:3 (2014, Rs 284.27 crore) – three feature Aamir Khan in lead roles. Co-produced by Disney India and Aamir Khan Productions, Dangal, made on a budget of approximately Rs 90 crore, is on its way to enter the uncharted territory of Rs 350 crore for a Bollywood film. What’s more, Dangal crossed the milestone of Rs 300 crore in a record 13 days in India, four days less than the time it took for PK to reach the landmark. The sports drama, inspired by the life story of former wrestler and Olympic coach Mahavir Singh Phogat who encourages his daughters Geeta and Babita to take up the sport and excel at it in a conservative village in Haryana, beat the record of Khan’s previous release PK (2014) – which had total earnings of Rs 340.8 crore. The 51-year-old actor’s latest release, the Nitesh Tiwari-directed Dangal (2016), has become the highest grossing Hindi film to date with box office collections of Rs 345.3 crore as of January 9. It’s been worth the wait and effort for Aamir Khan.
