With a number of movies releasing every week, it isn’t easy for Bollywood movies to sustain and run successfully at the box office. But the Rajkumar Hirani directed, ‘Sanju’ has taken the box office by storm.

Starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, ‘Sanju’ collected Rs 2.50 crore nett on its third Monday to take its lifetime total to Rs 312 crore nett plus, according to Box Office India. The website states, “The first and second week have seen 15-20% drops on weekdays but at these lower levels the film should trend better and go to around 29 crore nett for the third week.”
