Bollywood movie Dangal recently released in China and in just 5 days, the movie has grossed more than $18 million. Earlier Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots was released in China and was widely appreciated by the Chinese audience.
Dangal released in about 7000 screens across China on Friday after Wanda Cinemas, the owner of the largest number of screens worldwide, decided abruptly not to show the movie at the theatres it had allotted.
According to rumours, Wanda Cinemas boycotting Dangal had to do with its projects in India hitting roadblocks and not taking off.
Even after Wanda not giving Dangal its due space, the movie has managed to do extremely well and got China's urban audience talking. The movie continues to be a hot topic of discussion on Weibo with thousands of online users praising its theme and acting, especially that of Aamir.
