《摔跤吧!爸爸》风靡中国!

An Indian movie about two sisters has become a huge hit in China. The Hindi language film, called Dangal, has earned almost $170 million in China since its release there on May 5. It is the highest grossing non-Hollywood foreign film released in China.
Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling(摔跤). He competed as a wrestler, but never could achieve his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gave birth to daughters. So he eventually decided to train them to be world-class wrestlers.
The movie is more serious than many Bollywood productions. Most tell happy love stories and include colorful music and dance performances. Edward Chan is a professor of sociology at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He says the strict(严格的) way of parenting in the film is something people in China can easily relate to.
"I think the father role in the movie is quite similar to the culture, especially the traditional culture in China," Tansen Sen, a professor at the City University of New York, agrees. He said the film's parent-child issues are well understood in China, along with the interest in sports. Aamir Khan told a magazine that he never imagined the movie would be such a big success in China.
