Aamir Khan‘s Dangal is all set to release on December 23. The movie is one of the most awaited films of the year. And while the movie has been compared with Sultan and PK on various occasions, we have some interesting news for you! Dangal has already beaten Sultan in one aspect! Well, Aamir Khan has got a better satellite deal than Salman Khan. As per reports, Dangal‘s satellite rights have been sold for Rs 75 crore to Zee TV. This is much more when compared to Sultan’s satellite rights deal with Sony, which was worth Rs 55 crore.
Salman Khan‘s Sultan has been compared to Aamir Khan’s Dangal ever since both the films were announced. In fact, the wrestling scenes, the Haryanvi accent and Aamir’s paunch in Dangal reminded us a lot about Sultan. However, as films, they are quite different. Our editor-in-chief Tushar Joshi, who saw the film, mentioned in his review, “Let’s get this straight. Dangal is no Sultan. And am saying this with a lot of love to all those who raved about Salman Khan’s wrestling drama. All those who expected drama with a Sultan versus Dangal fight will be disappointed. Also is Dangal better than Sultan? No, simply because they are two different films, who have two different stories to tell. One is a struggle of an individual to battle his inner demons and come to terms with his own calling, the other is a story of a father – daughter relationship.”
At the box office too, these films are being pitched against each other. Salman Khan’s film had collected Rs 300.45 crore in its lifetime run. But will Dangal be able to beat Sultan? Our trade expert and Editor of Super Cinema, Amul Vikas Mohan hopes so. As he revealed to us earlier, “I am hoping that it (Dangal) does beat Sultan. It is one of the biggest films this year and it’s the last week of this year so I am really genuinely hoping that it will break Sultan’s record
