Big Record: If any film has to break big records of earning at the box office, then these three things are necessary for it. First- Great earning in India. Second- business should not fall on weekdays and third- tremendous business in overseas market. Anyway, overseas earnings are also behind the biggest film of Indian cinema. From the beginning of 2026, it is being seen that South films are earning a lot in overseas. After ‘Karuppu’, ‘Drishyam 3’, the earnings of ‘Peddi’ have also surprised everyone. But a large part of it comes from overseas only. But the highest grossing film in the overseas market is Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’. Because at the time of its release in 2016, this picture had made a net collection of Rs 387.38 crore. At the same time, the gross collection was only Rs 535 crore.

But after 6 months, it was decided to release the film in China and this decision of Aamir made a big record in his name in Indian cinema. Yes, the picture had done a business of Rs 1535 crore from the overseas market alone. At the same time, the total worldwide collection of the film was only 2070, around which no other Indian film has been able to reach till now. Whereas, Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’, Prabhas’s ‘Bahubali 2’ and Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’ have also earned a lot.
How will Aamir’s overseas record be broken?
In fact, if any South or Bollywood film has to break the record of Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’, then it will have to earn more than Rs 1535 crore in overseas. And no one has been able to do this since 2016. But even if it breaks, his film is still at number two. After which we will have to compete with him. The second Indian film which earned the highest in the overseas market is Secret Superstar. This film had 912 crore impressions from the worldwide box office. But the surprising thing is that business worth Rs 831 crore was done from overseas alone.
