Dangal Makers Beware! Baahubali 2 To Release In China

With Baahubali 2: The Conclusion's collection slowing down now, Aamir Khan's Dangal has a clear road ahead to go on and become the highest grossing Indian film ever. But sadly, there is a new update which might not allow Dangal to beat Baahubali 2 in the race.

Baahubali 2 has now got clearance from the Chinese Censor Board to release across the country in July. Aamir's Dangal currently stands at Rs 1,501 Crore - out of which Rs 753.23 Crore have come in only from China. Baahubali 2 stands at Rs 1,565 Crore now. Recently Trade Expert Taran Adarsh tweeted saying that within a day or two, Dangal might cover the difference and beat Baahubali 2. But once July comes and the SS Rajamouli film releases in China, fans can expect Baahubali 2 to once again overtake and end up being the highest grossing Indian film ever.

Talking about the same, Francois da Silva who presides over the international sales for Arka Mediaworks (Baahubali producers) told Variety magazine, “With Baahubali 2: The Conclusion we are now at $220 million worldwide, without China. Our target now is for China to give us the biggest lifetime score of all time for an Indian movie.”


For all those who've come in late Chinese Censor Board allows only a certain number of foreign films to be shown across the country in a calendar year. It's a proud moment for Indians as in 2017 itself, we have Dangal and Baahubali 2 releasing in China.
