Salman Khan's
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is getting a great response in China on the weekdays. After a power-packed weekend, the film managed to "maintain a solid trend on weekdays in China," reports trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The film has collected over Rs 78 crore in five days. The film debuted on 7th position when it released in China on March 2 and by Monday, the film has ascended to 4th spot, Taran Adarsh tweeted.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan's
standalone box office collection is pretty impressive but when compared with the last two Bollywood films -
Secret Superstar and
Dangal - released in China it's not much.
Here's the box office total of five days for
Bajrangi Bhaijaan in China:
The opening day collection of
Bajrangi Bhaijaan in China was Rs 14 crore while for
Secret Superstar it was a whopping Rs 40 crore. Also,
Secret Superstar collected Rs 175 crore over the three-day weekend and by the
fourth day of its release it had crossed Rs 200-crore mark. So,
Bajrangi Bhaijaan has an ambitious target.
Salman Khan's
Bajrangi Bhaijaan released in India in 2015 and it opened across 8,000 screens in China, last week. The film's lifetime business in India was Rs 320 crore.
In
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan plays the role of Pawan aka Bajrangi, a devotee of Lord Hanuman, who vows to take Munni (played by Harshaali Malhotra) to her home in Pakistan. The film is directed by Kabir Khan and it also stars Kareena Kapoor.
