Though Taran Adarsh says Bajrangi Bhaijaan's performance was "excellent" it is nowhere near the opening weekend collection of Aamir Khan's last release in China Secret Superstar. The film, which also stars Zaira Wasim, collected Rs 175 crore over the three-day weekend and by the fourth day of its release it had crossed Rs 200-crore mark.

Before Secret Superstar, Aamir's Dangal released and conquered the ticket window in China. Though Bajrangi Bhaijaan beat Dangal's opening day record it could not beat it in the crucial Monday test. After four days of its release in China, Dangal pocketed over Rs 100 crore. The lifetime business of Dangal in China is over Rs 2,000 crore.
