`Dangal` becomes the 5th highest-grossing non-English film

Aamir Khan?s ?Dangal? has now achieved a new and huge milestone which has only been reached by four other movies in history!

The Nitesh Tiwari-directorial has officially surpassed the $300 million mark this week to become only the fifth non-English movie in history to do so.

According to a report from Forbes, global ticket sales for the sports biopic now stand at $301 million, with $179.8 million coming from China and $84.4 million from India.

Only four other non-English movies in history have earned more than $300 million worldwide: China?s ?The Mermaid? ($533 million) and ?Monster Hunt? ($386 million), France?s ?The Intouchables? ($427 million) and Japan?s ?Your Name? ($354 million).

The flick, a dramatic retelling of wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat's life, is the first and only Indian film with an overseas gross exceeding $100 million.

It released to universal critical acclaim in India last Christmas.
