<i>Dangal</i> helps Disney India end 2016 on a high

In year of ups and downs, comes as welcome hit for the studio

With the film Dangal which it produced having broken all manner of records and still continuing a good run at the domestic box office, Disney India can finally breathe easy.

The Aamir Khan starrer, along with The Jungle Book earlier in 2016, have enabled the studio to offset some of the losses it incurred after some of its bigger Bollywood bets failed to perform well at the box office.

At Rs 357 crore so far in India collections, Dangal is the highest collecting Bollywood film ever. More important, thanks to a comparatively rationalised cost (production plus distribution, advertising and promotions)
