Besides, the movie will soon be surpassing the life-time collections of Salman Khan's 'Sultan', which was the highest grosser of 2016 so far. 'Sultan' had made a life-time business of Rs 300.45 crore.

After surpassing the *lifetime biz* of #Sultan, #Dangal will emerge the HIGHEST GROSSER of 2016... Hindi films. India biz.

Interestingly, there has been a direct competition between 'Dangal' and 'Sultan' since the beginning, given that both the movies are based on wrestling.

However, despite getting commendable reviews, 'Dangal' was finding it hard to beat 'Sultan' at the box office.

But looks like movie has finally got its pace and will be beating the Salman starrer in the coming days.

And now 'Dangal' has become the 4th movie to enter the Rs 300 crore club after 'PK', 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'Sultan'.

#Dangal is a ONE-HORSE RACE at the BO... Expected to cross ₹ 300 cr today ... 4th film in ₹ 300 Club <#PK, #BajrangiBhaijaan, #Sultan>.

This is not all.

'Dangal', who will be earning Rs 300 crore in just 13 days, has even shattered the record of Aamir Khan's 2014 release 'PK' minted the same business in 17 days.

#PK crossed ₹ 300 cr on Day 17... #Dangal crosses ₹ 300 cr on Day 13... Indeed, Aamir is setting NEW BENCHMARKS... India biz.
