Following the “guidelines” of the extremely popular in the 80’s Hollywood (still actually) theme of the “underdog who succeeds against all odds” and combining it with the equally popular concept of the “true story”, Nitesh Tiwari has come up with a highly entertaining movie, which eventually became a huge commercial success. “Dangal” became the highest-grossing Indian film ever, the fifth highest grossing non-English film ever, and 2017’s highest-grossing sports film worldwide. Produced on a budget of ₹70 crore (Us$11 million), the film grossed over ₹2,100 crore (Us$320 million) worldwide, including more than ₹1,300 crore (Us$200 million) in Chinese markets, becoming one of China’s top 20 highest-grossing films and the highest-grossing non-English foreign film in China. The film has also been watched about 400 million times on Chinese streaming platforms.
