Dangal had a fantastic weekend of around 104.25 crore nett apprx helped by an extraordinary Sunday (Christmas Day) where it smashed all box office records to record the highest single day ever and be the first film to go over 40 crore nett in a single day. The film showed excellent growth on Sunday of around 20% as being a big national day it was slightly better than a normal Sunday but the film would have benefited more if Christmas Day had fallen on any other day especially a weekday. Despite setting a national record it was still not the highest collection ever in Mumbai as the first day of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was bigger and so was the third day of PK but in the North it smashed records by leaps and bounds. The weekend business of Dangal (Hindi) is as follows.

Friday - 29,14,00,000

Saturday 34,00,00,000

Saturday - 41,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 1,04,39,00,000 apprx

The film is a blockbuster and  it is down to the weekdays as to how big of a blockbuster the film becomes, there are no official holidays in the weekdays but it is a very good period for collections between Christmas and the New Year which gives Dangal a chance to rack big numbers till next Sunday. 

The film also released in Tamil and Telugu and the collections are not impressive at all though the Tamil version showed a good trend from low levels so that may hold up well for a couple of weeks. The Telugu version is very poor.
