The success of any film is claimed through its box office collection. Aamir Khan’s Bollywood film Dangal is considered to be the highest grossing movie abroad. But what if we tell you that there is one such film that printed more money than Dangal, you will be surprised know which film we are talking about. For your information, we ae not talking about Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD, or Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2.
Today, we are talking about Jeetendra’s film Caravan. The film sold more tickets than Aamir Khan’s blockbuster film Dangal globally. Jeetendra and Asha Parekh film Caravan was released in theatres in 1971.

In 1979, Caravan created history by doing tremendous business at the Chinese box office. At that time, this movie made a record-breaking worldwide collection of 8.8 crores in foreign countries.
