MUMBAI: The Aamir Khan starer continues to make and break records. Days have passed since its first-day release but it appears that Dangal`s euphoria refuse to fade away. According to trade stats on Monday, the film earned Rs 1.37 crore, bringing the grand total to Rs 371.48 Cr.
Dangal is said to have earned Rs 100 crore in Mumbai circuit itself, a fact tweeted by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. The movie is expected to earn more than Rs 375 crore by the end of this week. In all probability, Dangal may earn more than Rs 380 crore in its lifetime.
That is more than the previous top grosser -- Khan’s science fiction film "PK", which amassed 3.40 billion rupees during its entire run in 2014.
"This is our ninth film with Aamir Khan and with ‘Dangal’ we’ve broken our own record of ‘PK’," Amrita Pandey, vice-president of studios at Disney India, told AFP via email.
"Dangal", directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is based on the true story of wrestling coach Mahavir Singh Phogat who raised his daughters Geeta and Babita Phogat to become champion wrestlers.
Geeta won a gold medal for India at the 2010 Commonwealth Games while her sister topped the podium at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. "Dangal" is a Hindi word used to describe a wrestling competition.
Khan, 51, gained a lot of weight to play the role of Mahavir before quickly losing 25 kilogrammes to appear as a younger version of the coach elsewhere in the film.
The movie was released on December 23 and was India’s second hit wrestling film of 2016. "Sultan", starring Salman Khan, came out in July, made 3.15 billion rupees and sits third on the all-time grossing list
Reese Witherspoon says 'things have to change' for Hollywood women
PASADENA: Reese Witherspoon, fed up with Hollywood gender bias, is calling for an end to the practice of handing excellent actresses only "thankless roles."
"I've just had enough. Things have to change," Witherspoon said Saturday during a press event in Pasadena, California.
"We have to start seeing women as they really are on film. We have to. And not just in movie theatres on a tiny budget."
The new HBO series "Big Little Lies", in which she stars alongside Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern, is directed by Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee.
"We need to see real women's experience, whether it involves domestic violence, whether it involves sexual assault, whether it involves motherhood or romance or infidelity or divorce," said Witherspoon, 40.
Hollywood is regularly faulted for failing to give substantial roles to women, especially those older than 35.
In a 2016 report, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) warned that women's place in the American film industry was slipping.
It said women were underrepresented, saw no employment gains in Hollywood compared to their male counterparts, and suffered losses in eight of 11 job arenas examined while struggling in the other three.
The highly anticipated "Big Little Lies," whose script based on Liane Moriarty's eponymous novel was written by David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal" and "Goliath"), marks Witherspoon's first major role in a TV production. It airs starting February 19.
Witherspoon, winner of an Oscar for her role in Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," is also a producer. She has focused on films with women in the lead role, such as "Gone Girl."
She recalled having often been the only woman on set for years.
"It’s very rare to find five roles in one piece that we'd all jump at a chance to play," agreed Kidman.

LOS ANGELES: William Peter Blatty, the author of the novel "The Exorcist" and writer of its Oscar-winning big-screen adaptation, has died aged 89, the director of the iconic horror movie announced Friday.

oks but his signature achievement was the 1971 novel that told the story of a 12-year-old girl whose vile behavior leads a young priest to conclude that she is possessed by a demon.The novel was panned by critics but went on to sell 13 million copies, topping The New York Times bestseller list for 17 weeks, and is retrospectively considered to be one of the greatest horror novels of all time.
Blatty won an Oscar for his screenplay of his own book for the 1973 film and later wrote and directed a sequel, 1990´s "The Exorcist III."
The original film, directed by William Friedkin and starring Linda Blair, was a box-office hit and cult sensation and inspired a generation of horror filmmakers.
Blatty, raised a devout Roman Catholic, died at a hospital near his home in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, but it was announced on social media by Friedkin on Friday.
"William Peter Blatty, dear friend and brother who created ´The Exorcist´ passed away yesterday," he said, prompting a torrent of tributes from the horror-writing community.
"RIP William Peter Blatty, who wrote the great horror novel of our time. So long, Old Bill," tweeted Stephen King, whose books have sold more than 350 million copies.
The son of Lebanese immigrants, Blatty was born into poverty in New York and graduated from Georgetown University before earning his living as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman.
During a diverse career he was also a psychological warfare specialist in the US Air Force and a public relations director at Loyola University of Los Angeles and the University of Southern California.
Although best-known for "The Exorcist," Blatty specialized in comedy, penning "Promise Her Anything" (1965), which starred Warren Beatty, "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?" (1966) and "The Great Bank Robbery" (1969).
He collaborated several times with director Blake Edwards, co-writing the Pink Panther sequel "A Shot in the Dark" (1964) and "Darling Lili" (1970) which starred screen legends Rock Hudson and Julie Andrews.
"You might only know Blatty from ´The Exorcist,´ but his array of talents could practically make your head spin. He will be missed," said film blog Screen Crush.
"Rest in peace William Peter Blatty, writer of both the peerless horror ´The Exorcist´ AND the funniest Clouseau film, ´A Shot In The Dark,´" added Edgar Wright, the British director of hit zom-com "Shaun of the Dead."
He is survived by his wife, Julie Alicia Witbrodt, who told The Washington Post her husband was suffering from multiple myeloma, a form of cancer.

Michelle Obama – who will retain the FLOTUS title for a few more days before handing it over to Melanie Trump – was photographed alongside Chopra more than six months ago at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where the latter teased that she will be working with the First Lady on women empowerment, with special focus on education.
Last year, the 34-year-old Chopra was in the US to complete shooting for Baywatch, which marks her Hollywood debut. She will commence promotional efforts for the new film, which is scheduled for release on May 26, 2017 in America.
Times of India reveals that the idea came into being after the two powerful icons talked about Chopra’s work with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The Indian star expressed awe at how Michelle Obama was up-to-date with her social work.
In an official statement, Chopra commented, “She (Michelle Obama) discussed the work I do with UNICEF and how we should work together for the education of the girl child. It was like they knew all about me. Can you imagine being the head of State and having to keep in mind everyone, but being able to do that? That, to me, was impressive,” IndiaTimes reported.

DHAKA: Bangladesh police Saturday said they have arrested an extremist accused of being one of the "masterminds" of last year´s deadly siege at a Dhaka cafe where 22 hostages were killed.
A police spokesman said Jahangir Alam was detained Friday night by counter-terrorism forces in Elenga, a town some 120 kilometres (63 miles) north of the capital.
"He is one of the main masterminds of the Holey Artisan Bakery (cafe) attack," Yusuf Ali, an additional deputy commissioner of the Dhaka police force, told AFP.
"He was a member of a new faction of Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and was directly involved in the murder of at least 22 religious minorities including Hindu priests and a Christian and foreigners (at the cafe)," he said.
Japanese and Italian diners were among the 18 foreigners shot and hacked to death in the attack on July 1 last year.
The siege lasted for 10 hours until army commandos, using armoured vehicles, stormed the compound.
Sanwar Hossain, an additional deputy commissioner of the police´s counter-terrorism and transnational crime unit, said Alam was a close associate of Tamim Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi Canadian who was named as the primary architect of the cafe siege.
"(Alam) was notorious. He led around two dozen attacks on religious minorities outside the capital," he told AFP.
Alam, 32, was present with Chowdhury at a Dhaka hideout where they planned and organised the cafe attack, Hossain added.
The arrest comes a week after police killed two extremists including another plotter of the cafe siege in a shootout in Dhaka. Chowdhury was killed during a raid outside the capital in August last year.
The country´s security forces launched a deadly crackdown against Islamist extremists following the attack, which badly undermined Bangladesh´s reputation as a relatively moderate Muslim nation.
Since the siege, security forces have killed around 50 Islamist extremists, including most of the alleged leaders of Jamayetul Mujahideen Bangladesh.
However, the Daesh organisation also claimed responsibility for the cafe attack, posting images of the carnage as it happened and photos of the gunmen who had posed with the group´s black flag.
Bangladesh is reeling from a wave of attacks on foreigners, rights activists and members of religious minorities.
While many of those attacks have been claimed by Daesh or Al-Qaeda, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina´s secular government has blamed local militants, denying that international militants have gained a foothold in Bangladesh.
Critics say Hasina´s administration is in denial about the nature of the threat posed by extremists and accuse her of trying to exploit the attacks to demonise her domestic opponents.
Last August US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a visit to Dhaka that there was evidence to link the extremists behind the recent spate of deadly attacks in Bangladesh to Daesh.
