According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Secret Superstar has collected Rs.584.60 crore ($91.29 mn) and is now eyeing towards the glorious $100-mn mark in the country.
The film is all set to cross the $100-mn mark in Week 3 and will make a place in history for the second film to collect more than Rs.600-crore in China.
Secret Superstar is the second film for Aamir to enter the $100-mn club in China. Aamir’s previous film Dangal was the first film to cross the mark and is till date the highest grossing Hindi film having earned more than Rs.1200 crore back in 2017.
Be it Aamir’s huge fan following or debutante Advait Chandan’s fantastic direction, the film has certainly proved out to be one of the biggest box office draws even in comparison to some big Hollywood films.
Unlike its Indian release where it clashed with Golmaal Again, Secret Superstar is facing no stiff competition at the Chinese Box Office. The film has emerged as the fastest film to cross the Rs.100-crore, Rs.200-crore and Rs.300-crore mark there.
With the film being screened in thousand of screens in China, it’s pretty much definite that the film will cross the $100-mn mark.
Secret Superstar narrates the story of a 14-year old girl, who wants to pursue her passion of singing in the backdrop of Indian stereotypes, and Aamir as the arrogant yet talented music composer, Shakti Kumarr.
Directed by debutante Advait Chandan, Secret Superstar was released on January 19 in China.
