Sanju is now eyeing for competing against the box office collections of PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tiger Zinda Hai. The film has already surpassed the lifetime collections of Sultan and Padmaavat.
Considering the fact that there is still quite some time before any other big film makes its way to the big screen, Sanju just might get the job done and emerge as the second highest grossing Hindi film of all times and Ranbir’s biggest film till date.
Despite multiple releases, including Soorma and Antman and the Wasp, Sanju still managed to hold its stronghold at the box office in the third weekend. Now, it’ll be interesting to see how the film will perform in its third week as it will give a better insight into the film’s lifetime collections.
Sanju, which stars an ensemble cast alongside Ranbir Kapoor, is based on the controversial life of Sanjay Dutt, mainly depicting three phases of his life — drug abuse, the women in his life and his 1993 imprisonment. The film was released worldwide on June 29.
