Aamir Khan and China is like a deadly combination. His movies always work there, and it seems like Chinese people have a soft spot for Aamir. They love him and his movies so much that ‘Dangal’ became India’s highest grossing movie worldwide, coming close to making ₹2000 crore, all thanks to them.
And now, another Aamir Khan movie is receiving a ton of love and adoration from the Chinese audience. Despite not doing as well at the Indian Box Office as it should have, ‘Secret Superstar’ has become a huge hit in our neighbouring country. In the movie, Aamir only has an extended cameo, but if he’s there, so are his Chinese fans.
The incredible movie is getting the recognition it deserves in China, and it even broke ‘Dangal’s’ opening day collection in the process. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, ‘Secret Superstar’s’ opening day numbers have well exceeded those of ‘Dangal’. Moreover, the movie, which has Zaira Wasim in the lead role, made a whopping ₹43 crores on Friday alone.
Sensational, indeed.
Aamir Khan scores yet again in China… #SecretSuperstar debuts at No 1 spot at China BO… Collects a WHOPPING $ 6.79 million [₹ 43.35 cr] on Fri… Opening day numbers are HIGHER than #Dangal there… SENSATIONAL!

He even predicted that this is just the beginning; the movie is set to do even bigger numbers there.
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!
