It is the highest grossing nonHollywood foreign film released in China. China imports very few foreign films that do not e from . production panies Much has been written about why “Dangal” has enjoyed such big success in China, Critics say one reason is the film’s star and producer, Aamir Khan, who is famous in India’s Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China. But he is not the only reason the film strongly connects with moviegoers across China.
