New Delhi: Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' has not only inspired millions of girls across the country but is also making a mark worldwide. The movie revolves around the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat, an incredible father and a dedicated wrestler who led his daughters to victory in the field of wrestling. 

The film has made over Rs 1900 crore worldwide reportedly and is soon heading towards the jaw-dropping 2000 crore mark. With such huge success, the film is now also the first ever Indian film to have added an audio description for the visually impaired audience. According to Pinkvilla which is originally attributed to a leading daily, NGO Saksham is behind completing the audio description of the movie.  

The report quotes the founder of the NGO, Rummi Sethi as saying, "It took us over two months to do the audio description of 'Dangal'. What people don't realise is that entertainment is as important for a differently-abled person as it is for us."
