Fans speculated on the reasons behind this.īut aside from that, the release of Dangal has highlighted how ‘Made in India’ or rather ‘Made in Bollywood’ has caught on in China. Wanda reportedly has a monopoly in some of the smaller Chinese towns, meaning a lot of fans might miss watching the movie immediately after the release. The extent of Bollywood fan frenzy in China can be gauged from the fact that Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter, was abuzz with angry posts on the decision by Wanda, the biggest cinema chain in China, to give very few shows to Dangal. It was the first Hindi film in more than four decades to release in the neighbouring country. And still earlier, in 2011, it was again an Aamir Khan film, 3 Idiots, that had a significant release in China. Incidentally, before this, the Aamir Khan starrer-PK had collected some Rs 140 crore in China, the highest overseas collection by an Indian film, and it got less than 5,000 screens. Aamir Khan’s mega-hit Dangal opened across 10,000 screens in China, which is also the biggest market for Hollywood films outside America. The biggest Bollywood release of this week was not in India, but in China.
