Aamir Khan’s Dangal showed a new window to Hindi movies. China has an unexplored market for Hindi movies and post-Dangal success many Bollywood directors will be looking to exploit it. Some media reports suggest that Kabir Khan and Salman Khan have a huge plan to promote their upcoming film Tubelight in China. Aamir Khan’s film PK was the first Indian movie to collect Rs 100 crore in China. Dangal is doing dazzling business and has collected Rs 90.58 crore so far. It is the second most viewed film behind only Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at China box office, a rare feat for Indian movies in the country.

Trade pundits and experts say that it has been an impressive week as both Baahubali 2 and Dangal have paved new paths for Indian cinema.

Yash Raj Films VP international operations Avtar Panesar told Forbes, “Rather than being looked upon as a Tamil or Telugu film, Baahubali 2 is being embraced as an Indian film and I strongly believe that is its biggest success. If more films are embraced by Indians within India and abroad, making a film for $100 million and recovery is not a big deal. This film has demonstrated the power of the Indian cinemagoers.”
