In China, a nation where Indian films were rarely shown, it became the highest grossing Indian film. It was initially released in six Chinese cities and on Youku under the Chinese title 摔跤吧!爸爸 (pinyin: Shuāijiāo ba bàba, "Let's Wrestle, Father"). It grossed on opening day, and grossed in just three days from theatrical release. The collections totalled to 300 crore at the end of day nine from release, taking the overall collections past 1,000 crore, becoming second Indian film to reach the mark.
