Aamir Khan earned a remarkable 275 crore rupees from the film 'Dangal' in 2016. The film earned 1300 crore rupees from China, giving Aamir a profit of 100 crore.

According to a 2017 Bollywood Hungama report, Aamir charged 35 crore rupees for 'Dangal' and had a profit-sharing agreement.

After selling satellite and digital rights, the film made a profit of 420 crore rupees. Aamir received 140 crore from this, totaling 275 crore.

Before 'Dangal,' Aamir was the box office king for years. His films like 'Ghajini,' '3 Idiots,' 'PK,' and 'Dhoom 3' were blockbusters.
