Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' is unstoppable at the box Office as the film has now collected above Rs. 2,000 cr worldwide and still counting. Major courtesy goes to China's box office. Nitesh Tiwari directed film which is a biopic on real-life wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita was named the fifth highest-grossing non-English film in history by Forbes.

"The film released in 46 screens in Hong Kong and Macau which is four times more than the regular screen count for a Hindi mainstream release," said Amrita Pandey, Vice President - Studios, Disney India.

"The local audience's overwhelming response reaffirms that an inspiring story backed by the right team, distribution planning, superior storytelling with such strong performances -- can win hearts and transcend boundaries, and Dangal exemplifies that," he added.

Dangal, which was released on December 23 last year features Aamir Khan, Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Zaira Wasim in prominent roles.
