After Aamir Khan starrer Dangal and PK made it big in the Chinese box office it’s time for yet another one of Mr Perfectionist’s films to come to the fore. Advait Chandan directed Secret Superstar is tasting some phenomenal success in China and the numbers are there to speak for themselves. After beating Dangal’s opening day collection in China box office, Secret Superstar has now set its eye on Rs 250 cr target. On its fifth day running in China, Secret Superstar has managed to draw in a further USD 4.84 million [Rs. 30.81 cr]. The fourth-day collections of the film saw a slight dip, with the collections of Dangal being positioned higher, but the fifth day we see the business of Secret Superstar rebound again. Dangal had collected USD 3.52 million [Rs. 22.74 cr] on Day 5, Secret Superstar has performed a bit better. At this juncture, the total of Secret Superstar at the Chinese box office stands at USD 37.17 million [Rs. 236.70 cr].
After an unprecedented response to Aamir Khan’s “PK”, China welcomed the actor-producer’s Bollywood blockbuster “Dangal” with open arms in a record-breaking number of screens. But after Aamir Khan pleased the audience with two record-breaking Indian films in China, now he is receiving an equally gracious response from Zaira Wasim starrer Secret Superstar. It seems like just yesterday that we heard that Zaira Wasim starrer has toppled the first-day collection of Dangal in China and now it has also garnered this whopping sum.
According to the critics, the goodwill of Dangal and PK has benefitted the collection of Secret Superstar. It is expected that the film will rake in larger sums in the future. Taran Adarsh writes, ” The tremendous goodwill that #Dangal – and prior to that #PK – created in China has benefited #SecretSuperstar… Although Aamir has an extended special appearance in #SecretSuperstar, Aamir’s star pull is at the peak in China… Expect magical numbers yet again!” The result is indeed magical since the numbers speak for it.
