Box-Office Report: Ajay Devgn’s ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’ is far ahead of Deepika Padukone’s ‘Chhapaak’

Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan starrer ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior‘ released alongside Deepika Padukone and Vikrant Massey starrer ‘Chhapaak‘. Now though both the films belong to different genres, it’s inevitable that their box-office performances will be compared.

Historical drama ‘Tanhaji’ is way ahead than ‘Chhapaak’, a film inspired by the real-life story of an acid attack survivor. On its day two at the ticket window, ‘Tanhaji’ has earned around Rs. 20.57 crore. So its overall total is Rs. 35.67 crores. Whereas ‘Chhapaak’ has managed to earn Rs. 11.67 crores in two days.

‘Chhapaak’ had collected around 4.77 crores on its opening day and around Rs. 6.90 crores on its day 2. Ajay Devgn’s 3D historical film seems to have struck a chord with the audience as its collection increased tremendously on day 2. The film collected around Rs. 20.57 crores on its second day.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the collections of both the films on his Twitter handle. You can check out his tweet below:

#Tanhaji roars on Day 2… Metros *and* mass belt, multiplexes *and* single screens, #Tanhaji is simply remarkable… #Maharashtra is record-smashing… Other circuits – decent on Day 1 – join the celebrations on Day 2… Fri 15.10 cr, Sat 20.57 cr. Total: ₹ 35.67 cr. #India biz

#Chhapaak witnesses an upward trend on Day 2, but the 2-day total is underwhelming… Decent at premium multiplexes, but unable to connect *and* collect beyond metros… Needs to cover lost ground on Day 3… Fri 4.77 cr, Sat 6.90 cr. Total: ₹ 11.67 cr. #India biz.

Meghna Gulzar directorial ‘Chhapaak’ is a social drama film based on a sensitive issue of acid attacks, whereas ‘Tanhaji’ is in the commercial space. So that seems to be working in its favour.
