DANGAL (Hindi) added 3.75 crore nett on its third Tuesday taking its business to over 341 crore nett. Although it is not setting daily records anymore it is still set to be the highest third week ever with the record being the 41.32 crore nett of PK. DANGAL should be able to reach 44 crore nett plus. The open run will also end rhis week as Hollywood film XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE and OK JAANU will hit theatres but DANGAL is well established so it will still do some business but records in the fourth week are ruled out. This three week open run that releases get every Christmas is one of the biggest benefit of this holiday period and DANGAL has made full use of it.

DANGAL (Hindi) grossed a record 43.75 crore nett in its third week and took its three week total to 347.50 crore nett. The drop in the third week is 60% which is higher than the second week when it dropped just 42% but it is still fantastic trending at these levels of business. The film is facing competition for the first time this week with OK Jaanu and a Hollywood film XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE. It set a new all India third week record beating the 41.32 crore nett of PK. The top three films in week three are all Aamir Khan starrers as DANGAL, PK and 3 IDIOTS dominate the third week charts. They are the only three films in history to go over 30 crore nett in week three with DANGAL and PK going over 40 crore nett. The top third week collections (HINDI films) are as follows..
1. Dangal (2016) - 43,75,00,000 apprx

-------------------------
DANGAL (Hindi) is still doing pretty well in its fourth week though collections are lower than the earlier lofted levels. The drop is the biggest so far in its run on its fourth Friday as many films hit the theatres across India including some very big South Indian films and that is where the film has been hit most. The dubbed version be it Tamil or Telugu is not playing anymore. The drop on the fourth Friday was around 67% but still it can beat the fourth week figures of PK which were 12.72 crore though the fourth week record 3 IDIOTS is safe. To beat PK the jump has to be big on Saturday though with XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE going wide after paid previews on Friday it may be difficult to get the sort of jump that happened last week. The business of DANGAL (Hindi) till date is as follows.
First Week - 1,92,38,00,000
Second Week  - 1,11,51,00,000
Third Week - 43,75,00,000
Fourth Week (Friday) - 1,90,00,000

GRAND TOTAL - 3,49,54,00,000 apprx
