Bajrangi Bhaijaan beats first day collections of Dangal in China

Beijing, March 04: Salman Khan's film "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", over two years after releasing in India, got off to a flying start in China by raking in Rs 18 crore.

"Bajrangi Bhaijaan" is about a man who reunites a Pakistani girl lost in India with his family by crossing the tense border between two hostile countries.

The movie -- Salman's first ever to release in China where Aamir Khan's entertainers are the biggest Bollywood attractions -- released here on Friday.

According to Chinese box office, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" has beaten the first day collections of Aamir Khan's "Dangal" in China. However, it fell well short of Aamir's last release in China, "Secret Superstar", which minted Rs 40 crore on its opening day in the country.
