For China 75-80 million USD is respectable. But it's no blockbuster.

Hollywood discovered that before you guys. Actually, to my own surprise, in China, movie streaming websites have more and more Indian movies lately. I think Chinese also discovered that Indian movies can be very entertaining, too.

Media restriction is mostly political and designed for curtailing western influence, not so much towards other countries like India.

Dangal has beaten 'Guardians of the galaxy vol 2' in China. Says a lot about the potential of Indian movies in China.

This is what one of the Chinese critic has said in the above article-

Different genres of movies. Personally I am not thrilled by Marvel movies anyway. I think Dangal can touch people in completely different and deeper ways.

Dangal wont even be in our top 100 movies.
India made good movies in the 60s and 70s.
Watch sholay for a 70s masala movie.
A few good ones like dil chahta hai in 2000s.

The Aamir Khan film Dangal, about an Indian man training his daughters to become wrestlers, has become China’s biggest-grossing non-Hollywood foreign movie.

Dangal is the story of former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters Geeta and Babita.

The Indian film, whose name translates as “Let’s Wrestle, Dad,” was released in China on May 5. By Tuesday, it had pulled in Rs 753.23 crore($116.21 million) in mainland China, according to data from EntGroup, a leading entertainment consultancy.

The previous top-performing non-Hollywood foreign film was the 2016 “Your Name,” a Japanese fantasy drama. It made 577 million yuan ($84 million) at the Chinese box office.

Media and online commentary has said Dangal, which is based on a true story, impressed audiences with its message of giving girls opportunities in a male-centric society, and has prompted discussions over how strict parents should or should not be when raising their children.

Actor and producer Khan had already built up a following in China following the success of his previous films 3 Idiots and PK. The Bollywood star has garnered 640,000 followers on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo since opening an account in early April.
