Pathaan has become the highest grossing Hindi film in Overseas as it crosses the numbers of Dangal. This is the original HINDI film and not the dubbed / edited version which sometimes has travelled into non traditional markets mainly Far East.  In the past there have been films which grossed in Russia and China but they totally distort Hindi film history as the films are one offs and the tastes are so different there. The Russia story finished years back and the China story looks pretty much over now also as the sort of films which have to made to work in India are not really for China.

There are Hindi films in all formats which are higher than Pathaan but in terms of the original film this is the highest a film has ever gone in overseas and there is much more to come for Pathaan and it will set a huge benchmark in Overseas which is certain to go to over $40 million and may even go to $45 million or $50 million.

Another point there is always talk and it probably comes from down South that Bahubali - The Conclusion is the biggest film from India but that is not the case as Dangal is the NUMBER ONE film from India as both these films released in many formats but Dangal did more business. No doubt Bahubali - The Conclusion is a better film but business for Dangal is HIGHER.. The top HINDI overseas grossers are as follows.

1. Pathaan - $30.75 million apprx

2. Dangal - $30.70 million

3. Padmaavat - $29.14 million

4. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - $28.64 million

5. Dhoom 3 - $28.33 million
