New Delhi: The rate of success of Aamir Khan's films in China is far greater than at home. Aamir Khan has released four films in China - 3 Idiots, PK, Dangal and Secret Superstar - and each one surpasses the box office collection of its predecessor (except Dangal, which remains the undisputed champion).

The latest film to hit the Chinese theatres is Aamir Khan-produced Secret Superstar, which has collected over Rs. 500 crore in 16 days. In contrast, the lifetime business of Secret Superstar in India was a mere Rs. 63 crore, reports NDTV.

When compared with India, Secret Superstar's China performance seems surreal. For example, the opening day collection of Secret Superstar (made on a budget of Rs. 15 crore) in China was 10 times that of India's box office figure.

In China, it took two days for the film to cross India's lifetime collection. Here's a detailed comparison of Secret Superstar's India and China box office figures.
 Secret Superstar is the fourth top-grossing film in the international circuit (not counting ‘Padmaavat’). According to international tracking service comScore's global film ranking, Secret Superstar is behind Maze Runner: The Death Cure, Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungleand The Greatest Showman, as of January 28. Secret Superstar's presence on the International box office scenario is primarily because of its China release.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box office report card of Secret Superstar in China and said: ‘The question is, will it cross $ 100 million?’ If a Variety magazine report is to be believed then that's an ambitious target for Secret Superstar.

The film's success rate will reportedly be affected by the Chinese New Year, when several Chinese films will hit the screens. ‘(Secret Superstar) enters the short window ahead of Chinese New Year, which will see a host of local Chinese film releases.

That will likely prevent Secret Superstar getting anywhere near the incredible $193 million performance of Dangal last year,’ reported a Variety. Speaking to news agency IANS, Aamir Khan said that he was overwhelmed with the success of Secret Superstar in China.

‘The more inward you go, the more you interest people from all over the world. That's what I believe in because people like to see different cultures and stories of different characters from different parts of the world,’ Aamir Khan said.

Secret Superstar features Zaira Wasim in the lead role of a young singer trying to break societal shackles to make a name in the music industry.
