Three Aamir-starrers make it to list of top 5 grossers worldwide
A amir Khan’s last release, Secret Superstar, did not just receive love and praise in India, but it has also entered the prestigious Top 5 list of all-time grossing Indian films, worldwide. Even though Aamir only had a cameo in the film, yet his loyal fans thronged the theatres to watch the film because of their faith in the content that he brings to the table.
With the entry of Secret Superstar in the top 5 list, 3 of Aamir Khan’s films are now part of it. “The fact that three of the top five Bollywood films worldwide are Aamir Khan’s films proves that Aamir’s stardom is not restricted by geographical boundaries but transcends them. He is the biggest Bollywood star of India but the last couple of years have also established beyond doubt that he is the biggest in China too,” says trade analyst Komal Nahta.
With Dangal collecting 1908 crores, Secret Superstar collecting 874 crores and PK gathering 831 crores, Aamir Khan is the only Indian actor ever to set such a massive record with his films. “Today the world market is ready to listen to and watch good content films. Aamir has opened doors for release in China for the entire Indian film industry. Aamir’s, especially last 2 films which are Dangal and Secret Superstar have hit the ball out of the park, in terms of collections,” says trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
With Aamir Khan, it’s not just about delivering superior content but it is also about doing that consistently.
While all these above mentioned films did phenomenally well in India, they also received humongous response overseas, especially in China.In fact, according to Chinese IMDb, Aamir Khan is the top ranked foreign actor there and Dangal is the top ranking film.
The other two films apart from Aamir’s in the list of Top 5 Indian films worldwide are, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (5th rank) and Baahubali 2 (2nd rank).
