Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' is still standing steady at the box-office despite the release of two big films 'Kaabil' and 'Raees' on January 25. The film that took away four major awards including Best Film, Best Director for Nitesh Tiwari, Best Action for Shyam Kaushal and Best Actor for Aamir Khan has earned a total of Rs 385 Cr at the domestic box-office since its release on December 23, 2016.

Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' crossed the Rs 150-crore mark on Day 5, as it earned Rs 23.07 crore. After a five-day run, the total collection of the film now stands at Rs 155.53 crore. With a domestic collection of Rs 155 crores, 'Dangal' has become the third highest grosser Hindi movie of 2016. Only 'Sultan' and 'Jungle Book' are now ahead of 'Dangal' at Box office. 'Sultan' did box office collection of Rs 300.45 crores where as 'Jungle Book' collected Rs 181.75 crore.

Chhattisgarh excise department has given tax-free status to Aamir Khan's wrestling drama Dangal. The film is based on the real life story of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat who hails from Haryana. Tax exemption has been given to the movie under section 7 of Chhattisgarh Entertainment Duty and Advertisement Tax Act.

'Dangal' became Aamir's fifth film after 'Ghajini', '3 Idiots', 'Dhoom 3' and 'PK' to enter the Rs 100-crore club. It would be interesting to see how the film fares Monday onwards as now, the film would not have the advantage of Christmas week. However, what works in the film's favour is that there is no big Bollywood release in the next week. Day 1: Rs 29.78 Crore | Day 2: Rs 34.82 crore | Day 3: Rs 42.35 crore.

What works wonderfully for Dangal is the writing. Director Nitesh Tiwari, along with Piyush Gupta, Shreyas Jain and Nikhil Mehrotra should be complimented for their tongue-in-cheek quality, peppered with humour and several poignant father-daughter emotions all through. Of course, a little bit is lost in translation because of the Haryanvi twang. But, messages on our obsession with the male child (prevalent since the dark ages), myopic stand on bringing up our daughters and the administration's pathetic disposition towards sports, are loud and clear. Read full review of Dangal.

Aamir Khan’s upcoming biopic based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat has been creating quite a stir even before the film went on floors, courtesy, Aamir’s bulked up avatar for the film. The actor who will be seen reprising the wrestler onscreen, has not only put on a lot of weight in preparation for his film, but is also sporting salt-n-pepper, closely cropped hair for the role. This will be the first time that Khan will be seen playing such an older character and a father of two teenage daughters played by Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra. While the actor is known to be a dotting dad in real life, he seems to be a great onscreen father too or so suggest these couple of on-set pics that came our way recently. Not only is Aamir chilling with the entire ‘Dangal’ team, but the man also seems to share a warm bond with his on-screen daughters. We sure are eager to catch this father-daughters trio on the silver screen. Dangal will release tomorrow (23rd December).

Aamir Khan is a perfectionist in the real sense of the term. He is counted amongst those few actors in Bollywood who can go to any extent for a film. For his upcoming film, ‘Dangal,’ Aamir gained as much as 25 kilograms, which raised everyone’s eyebrows. But on his 51st birthday bash, the actor was seen in a leaner avatar. The reason? He now has to play the younger version of Mahavir Phogat, on whom his character in the film is based on. After this, he will shed 13 more kilos to attain the ‘Ghajini’ shape. But what is he doing with his XL-sized clothes which would be of no use to him now. Well, he will give away all these clothes to charity. A report on Mid-day.com has quoted his spokesperson as saying that Aamir has gone through different sizes and will experience more change in size during his process of losing weight.

Aamir Khan is always at his best when it comes to getting into the skin of his characters. 'Ghajini' and 'PK' are two of the biggest examples of the makeovers he's undergone through for a movie. Reports suggested that Aamir Khan had gained almost 22-25 kilos of weight for 'Dangal'. In the movie, Aamir plays the role of a wrestling coach, Mahavir Phogat who trained three Commonwealth Games gold medalists. He has already shot for portions where he will be seen as a 55-year-old, for which he had gained weight. Aamir then had to shed 25 kilos in 25 weeks with his weight loss programme, which was monitored in Arizona, US.
