Aamir Khan Celebrates 61st Birthday with Intimate Family Gathering at Home

Dangal remains India's highest-grossing film with Rs 2,000 crore, driven by Aamir Khan's transformative role and its social impact, officials said.

  • On Saturday, March 14, Aamir Khan, actor, celebrated his 61st birthday, drawing wishes from fans and celebrities who praised his career as 'Mr. Perfectionist'.
  • Box‑office tallies place Dangal's gross between Rs 1,968 crore and Rs 2,024 crore against a Rs 70 crore budget, with its China release pushing it past Rs 2,000 crore.
  • For Dangal, Khan underwent a physical transformation, gaining 28 kilograms then shedding 25 over 20 weeks, while the film recounts Mahavir Singh Phogat training six girls—four daughters and two nieces—who won medals.
  • Several recent blockbusters Pushpa 2, Jawan and Pathaan each earned over Rs 1,000 crore, prompting comparisons with Khan's Dangal and its impact on box‑office records and legacy.
  • Released on December 23, 2016, Dangal was granted tax‑free status in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Uttarakhan under the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign, broadening its cultural impact.
