The development of the film began in early 2013 when Tiwari
began writing the screenplay. In 2014, Khan had interviewed the Phogat sisters
on his talk show Satyamev Jayate, before Tiwari approached him with the script
months later, after which Khan became the lead actor and producer. Set
primarily in the Indian state of Haryana, principal photography commenced in
September 2015 in the neighbouring Punjab.[10] Satyajit Pande served as the
cinematographer and Ballu Saluja as the editor. Pritam scored the film's
background music and for its soundtrack, lyrics for which were written by
Amitabh Bhattacharya. Kripa Shankar Bishnoi, a coach with the Indian women's
wrestling team, trained Khan and the cast for the wrestling sequences.[citation

After a North American premiere on 21 December 2016, Dangal
was released worldwide on 23 December and received positive reviews from
critics; praise centered on the film's "honest" depiction of a
real-life story and Khan's performance. It was also screened at the Beijing
International Film Festival in April 2017 and second BRICS festival in June
2017.[11] At the 62nd Filmfare Awards, it won four awards: Best Film, Best
Director, Best Actor (Khan) and Best Action (Shyam).[12] At the 64th National
Film Awards, Wasim won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Geeta's
younger self. Overseas, Dangal won the inaugural Best Asian Film award at

Actor (for Aamir Khan) from China's Douban Film Awards,[15][16][17] and two
Jackie Chan Action Movie Awards,[18] and was nominated in the Asian Brilliant
Stars category at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival.[19]
The film was a record-breaking commercial success, becoming
the highest-grossing Indian film ever, the fifth highest grossing non-English
