Dangal to release on 10,000-plus screens across China

In a first for a Bollywood film, Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal will release across a record 10,000 screens in China. The news comes close on the heels of reports that SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, Bahubali 2: The Conclusion hit 9,000 screens worldwide.

Dangal director Nitesh Tiwari says, “Recently, Aamir and I watched the film in a packed theatre in Beijing at a film festival. The response was overwhelming.

[Securing] such a wide release shows the kind of confidence the audience has in our film. Like it did in other countries, I am optimistic that Dangal will do well in China too. It’s reassuring that the team’s work has found global acceptance and appreciation.”
