Darpan News Desk IANS, 25 Dec, 2016 09:30 PM
    The Haryana government on Sunday announced that Bollywood film "Dangal" would be tax-free in the state.

    "Dangal" features Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who is portraying the role of former national level wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, who belongs to Haryana's Bhiwani district.
