The tale of an Indian Muslim girl's struggles to become a singer has topped China's box office since its local release on January 19. The second-straight hit to be delivered by the actor-producer Aamir Khan in the country, 'Secret Superstar' even surpassed sales for 'Sales Wars: Last Jedi' as per reports. In a demonstration of the Dragon's preference of Indian movies, the film grossed $38 million and rose above three Hollywood movies, touching $65.4 million after 10 days.
The total worldwide gross of the film now stands at $100 million, making it the fourth highest grossing Indian film after 'Dangal', 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion', and 'PK'. Aamir's substantial fan following in China, has made him the only Indian actor to have three $100 million worldwide grossers. Commenting on the update, Xinhua News Agency wrote, “Chinese filmgoers' appreciation of Aamir Khan's films reflect the common aesthetic pursuit of the two countries, which should be extended from the cultural aspect to broader areas, including politics and the economy.”
