Sanju, since its release, has not seen a single day without breaking a record. After surpassing many films, breaking the single day record, highest weekend 1 (Bollywood) record, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer is continuing its winning streak at the box office. Surpassing records set by Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan & Ajay Devgn, the movie is unstoppable right now.
Sanju in its week 1 collected 202.51 crores just edge passing the 202.50 crores of 3 Idiots. Becoming Rajkumar Hirani’s 2nd movie in the 200 crore club (PK is in the 300 crore club), it’s a first of Ranbir Kapoor. The latest entrant in the 200 crore club, Ranbir Kapoor, has every probability ruling in his favour to enter the prestigious 300 crore club too.
On its 2nd Saturday the movie collected 22.02 crores taking its grand total to 237.43 crores. So, this means another Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan film has been crossed. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, the Salman Khan-Sooraj Barjatiya family drama, though was a hit at the box office but failed to create the desired impact a Salman film usually does. It collected 207.40 crores in its lifetime which has now easily surpassed by Sanju in just 8 days.
