From Aamir Khan’s side,
“demand for the two cuts was surprising because the film isn’t jingoistic in nature.”
The source further added, “It’s a sports-based biopic with no direct or indirect reference to Pakistan. The film only highlights India’s nationalistic sentiment, so what is the reason to chop off those scenes?”
Dangal got released in December 2016 and went on to rake 387 crores at the Box Office. The source further goes on to say that,
“It will result in an economic loss to the tune of Rs 10-12 crore, as Pakistan is an important international territory vis-à-vis money, but he isn’t willing to edit the scenes in question. He is aware that not releasing the film could lead to piracy, but he is sure about what he won’t do.”
Overall, Dangal will not be screened anytime soon in Pakistan!
